Supanova Pop Culture Expo

One of the most exciting aspects of the expo, the cosplay competitions return bigger and better than ever before!

Madman Cosplay Competition

Not to be confused with The Madman National Cosplay Competition (see below)

The original and the best. Runs on both Saturday and Sunday. See budding new cosplayers and veterans alike take to the stage to strut their stuff and show off their masterpieces! From still poses to hilarious skits, and with comical commentary and questions from our MC, it’s guaranteed to be loads of fun!

This competition is open for all individual and group cosplayers!

Prizes

Thanks to Madman Entertainment, the prizes awarded each day of the Cosplay Competition are a selection of vouchers usable at the Madman Online store.  Winners are able to pick out whatever special goodies they want!

Normal Cosplay Competition Registration & Pre-Registration

In order to be able to fit all of our contestants in our allotted time slot there are a limited number of places available for each day of the event. We recommend pre-registering for the contest if you know what you will be cosplaying as at the event. Pre-registered contestants will need to check in on the day, your place will be held in place until 12.00pm on the day of the event. We will also be allowing on the day registration, but places are subject to availability.

When spaces are filled you will be put on a reserve list. If spaces become available we will place you in the contest in place of contestants who have not checked in by 12.00pm. Results of the waiting list will be made available by 1.00pm at the registration.

Madman National Cosplay Championships

The cream of the crop of cosplay comes back again to Supanova this year, fresher, louder and better than ever with the Madman National Cosplay Championship!

Every Saturday at Supanova is when the Madman National Cosplay Championship heats are held. These are separate from our regular Madman Cosplay Competitions that also run during the weekend.

Winners of the state championships held at each Supanova will be invited to compete at the end of the year (flight and accommodation are part of the heat winners prize) with the National Cosplay Champion winning a trip to Japan (see http://www.madman.com.au/cosplay/ for more info)!

If you’re interested in registering for the Madman National Cosplay Championships, you will need to head to the Madman National Cosplay Championships site and register through there. It requires a portfolio and documentation so make sure you read the rules and instructions carefully.
