Cosplay-Video-Contest

With your colourful and elaborate costumes from anime, manga and game series, you cosplayers are the eye-catcher at every anime event and now you can also conquer the internet at the Anime Messe Digital!

First of all, we would like to thank everyone who shows interest in the cosplay competition of the Anime Fair Digital 2021 from 10 to 11 July. We are happy about every entry! So grab your smartphone or camera, put on your favourite cosplay and show it to us. You decide how you want to present it. It doesn't matter if it's a fashion show, a detailed narrative about the cosplay or a short live-action movie with cool poses or funny elements.

Have you already recorded a cool cosplay video at the Anime Messe Babelsberg? Of course you can also enter it in this competition!

The first three places will win cool prizes and shopping vouchers from and for the AnimeFanShop.de - in addition, we will raffle off the first volume of Shakugan no Shana among all participants. As you can see. Just taking part can be worthwhile!

Terms of participation:

The video must be submitted by 09 July 2021. [ Application form ]
The video length should be at least one minute to a maximum of five minutes.
You can also enter the competition as a group.
Participation is possible worldwide.
The video must be produced for the cosplay competition for Anime Messe Digital 2021 or within the framework of Anime Messe Babelsberg. In the case of a video that is explicitly produced for the Anime Messe Digital, a sentence at the beginning should indicate this. For example, "This is my entry for the cosplay competition for Anime Messe Digital 2021!".
Content: You decide how you want to present it. It doesn't matter if it's a fashion show, a detailed narrative about the making of your cosplay or a short live-action movie with cool poses or funny elements - everything is allowed.
In principle, purchased cosplays are also allowed, but the video must be convincing in other ways. You must state in the description of your cosplay whether it is a bought cosplay or whether you have made it yourself.
In order for the cosplay to be judged well, you should show the cosplay from all sides. A slow rotation at the end at the latest would therefore be advantageous.
Audio and video effects may be used in the video.
If you use music, please provide us with a list of artists and titles, which we have to submit to Gema. You can also use Gema-free music, e.g. from NoCopyrightSounds. Here, too, please pay attention to the compulsory information for use. In most cases, the artist and title must be mentioned.
The video should run in a VLC player installed by default.
Please make sure that your cosplay and the whole video are suitable for young people. That means you should not show so much skin and be careful with the choice of content.
If you are under 18 years old, then for legal reasons we need a written permission to participate in this competition together with the video. This must be signed by a parent or guardian. Send us the permission as a photo or scan separately.
If you want to or have to withdraw your participation for whatever reason, please inform info@animemesse.de as soon as possible so that someone else can take your place. Fair Play!
By participating in the competition, you grant us the right to use your video for public reproduction.
