2026 Main Stage Cosplay Contest Registration
  • Your passion and creativity are what make this event special, and we’re excited to celebrate the cosplay community with you.

    Each year, we receive many talented applications. To ensure a fair review, all submissions are evaluated by a panel of outside judges and reviewed carefully, this is not a first-come, first-served process.

    Please note: We will be accepting applications for two weeks following time of opening, Wednesday January 21st, and closing closing on Wednesday February 4th, 2026.  

    We truly appreciate the time, dedication, and artistry that go into every costume. Please take your time completing the application and sharing your work. No matter the outcome, thank you for being part of what makes LVL UP EXPO unforgettable.
