Cosplay Grayscale Contest!

In the spirit of all things manga, MangaNEXT is giving our attendees the unique experience of a Grayscale Costume Contest this year as part of the MangaNEXT Hall Costume Contest.

The Grayscale Contest will be a separate division from normal entries and there will be one award granted to the best Grayscale Cosplay of the weekend.

All other Hall Costume Contest rules will apply for this part of the contest, (please see rules under Hall Cosplay). In addition all costumes are required to only incorporate black, white and gray into their construction. This means all accessories, wigs, shoes, etc. Also we STRONGLY request that entries bring a reference.

"We look forward to seeing what kind of work people bring to us this year!"
~Patti, MangaNEXT Hall Costume Contest Coordinator

For questions and more information please see our forum or contact our Hall Cosplay coordinator.
