Are you a cosplayer thinking about jumping into your first cosplay contest? This video was made with you in mind! This is the first video in my Cosplay Contest series, where you can learn everything from how to start competing, what makes a good judge, what to do in prejudging, cosplay contest etiquette, to what YOU can do to improve your odds of taking home a major award! Be sure to subscribe and turn that notification bell on so you don't miss a single upload in this series! :)

One major thing I forgot to mention - HALL COSPLAY.
Hall Cosplay Contests are different from Mainstage Contests - in a Hall contest, you don't go on stage at all. These contests can be as simple as basically, a photo contest (judges pick the best hall cosplay based on photos taken of the cosplayer) - or as thorough of judging as is in mainstage, just without the stage presence. Hall is great for cosplayers who don't want to go on stage but are still interested in competing. You'll have to read up on your convention's competition to see if it is offered, and if so, in what capacity.
