The Crown Championhips of Cosplay returns to C2E2 for the aregional tournament. Some of the greatest cosplayers from the US Midwest (and even further out) are here to compete for cash and other prizes. If they win, they have a chance for something greater – the Crown Champions of Cosplay finals this October in MCM London Comic Con, where they’ll face off against the regional winners from Florida SuperCon, New York Comic Con, and Emerald City Comic Con.
This two-hour long event will showcase the greatest cosplay from C2E2 2022, and the immense creativity, passion, and fandom for these fellow fans.
Popverse will be streaming this and several other panels from C2E2, with some other panels being recorded to come up on the site later in the month. These videos are available one of two ways – by becoming Popverse members at the ‘Fan’ level (or higher), or by buying a C2E2 digital ticket. The C2E2 digital ticet gives you access to live video panels streamed all three days of C2E2 from the Main Stage, VOD panels from two other stages, and access to all the great content from Popverse for 30 days. The Popverse membership does that for the entire year, and would include live video panels from the upcoming Emerald City Comic Con, New York Comic Con, and MCM London Comic Con in October.
Watch along to the C2E2 Cosplay Championships of Cosplay panel from C2E2:
