We are thrilled to be continuing the Craftsmanship Contest this year at Queen City Anime Con! We are so excited to see what you have been creating! You will get to show off all your skills to our Judges and share it with our attendees on stage!
We will have limited slots for the Contest and for Exhibition (You would just like to show off your costume but do not want to complete in craftsmanship).
