Cosplay

Cosplayers are an important part of the atmosphere at the festival – and we strive to give you a safe, fun and creative weekend in Valby Hallen filled with comics and cosplay.

What can you experience?

We want to spread awareness and interest in cosplay in Denmark. We also want to create a space where cosplayers and other participants can come together and cultivate their passion in a space that is safe for everyone.

At the festival we have Cosplay Catwalk, Craftsmanship competition, panels, workshops and a lounge dedicated to cosplay. There’s also a cosplay repair station. Whether you’re new or experienced, into craftsmanship or performance, there’s something for you both days.

We love cosplay

Cosplayers get a 50% discount on our partout tickets.

See you in Valby Hallen!

What is cosplay?

The word cosplay is a contraction of the words “costume” and “play”. It is a creative form of expression where a person dresses up as a character from a comic book, anime, manga, book, movie, TV series, video game or similar.

Cosplayers often put a lot of time and effort into creating or purchasing their costumes and accessories so they can look as realistic and detailed as possible. They can also role-play, take photos and participate in cosplay competitions and events where they can meet other cosplayers and show off their costumes.

When interacting with cosplayers, remember that cosplay does not equal consent. Always ask permission before photographing, recording or touching a person or their costume.
