Reminder: Enter the Sexpo Cosplay competition with cash prizes

Doesn’t it feel like just a few months ago that Sexpo was in town? Well, it actually was! It seems that Sexpo will actually be running two shows per year now, and that means twice the cosplay competition opportunities. And, wish cash prizes to be won, competitors have an ever better chance of winning some money to help fund their cosplaying habits. At least, that’s how it works if you’re like Darryn, who seems to use his cosplaying to fund yet more cosplay.

In case you missed our original post about this, here’s what you need to know. Sexpo will run from 22-25 March 2017 at the Sandton Convention Centre. Entrance is normally R150 for general admission and R299 for VIP tickets, but those looking to take part in the cosplay competition can actually get in for free. We will just need an email from you by 17 March with your name, character name, picture of character inspiration as well as which category you are entering in. And without further ado, here are the rules for the cosplay competition.

Sexpo Cosplay rules

To be clear, this is meant to be sex-positive cosplay – not a display of kink-wear or simply an excuse to wear lingerie in public. Rather, this is an opportunity for cosplayers who want to take on a more erotic approach to family-friendly characters or costumes, or perhaps try their hand at more provocative characters. That doesn’t mean that cosplayers are expected to reveal parts of their bodies they don’t wish to – cosplay can still be sexy while leaving much to the imagination.

The categories for the event are:

  • Best female cosplay
  • Best male cosplay
  • Most authentic character recreation
  • Sexiest character interpretation

Gender-bending and trans cosplay is welcome, and it will be up to the contestant to choose which gender they wish to compete as. It is also important to note for all those attending that you may see some incredible cosplay, but that doesn’t mean that you can behave any differently towards participants in the competition – cosplay is not consent.

A chill area will be provided to competitors, and the stage show will run from 2-3pm (although competitors will need to be available in the judging area at 11am for judging).

How to enter

As explained above, you can get free entrance to the event by emailing me by 17 March with your name, character name, picture of character inspiration as well as which category (or categories) you are entering in. If, however, you decide last minute to take part, that’s also fine – you will just need to pay your own entrance and be in the judging area by 11am. Additionally, all entrants are requested to bring an image of their character inspiration, just to share with the judges if requested.

Sexpo will be offering R20 000 in prizes again, R5 000 per category. So good luck and have fun, and maybe go home a bit richer!

      I’m cosplaying as the rocket launcher actually. Finally, a proper use for my small size.
