Calling all cosplayers!

Make sure you enter our ever-popular Cosplay Competition at Kino FCBD this year, sponsored by our good friends at Madman, Supanova Comic-Con & Gaming and SMASH!

Judging for our Kinokuniya Choice Prize this year will be assisted by guest judges Vinh and Olivia! Vinh has been a long-time Kino FCBD cosplayer, best known for his very awesome and innovative cardboard cosplays, and Olivia is our very own resident cosplay genius.

There’s also the People’s Choice prize, which will be determined by the most likes in each category via public voting on Facebook.

 AND, as always, EVERYONE who wants to will be included in our annual Kinokuniya Cosplay book! There’s no better souvenir of the day and your cosplaying adventures than a beautifully-printed, full colour book featuring you and all your fellow cosplayers from Kino FCBD. Be sure to pre-order your copy on the day at a special discounted rate! See staff on the day for full information.

Here are the prizes to be won:
