At Saturday's Costume Contest at C2E2, ReedPop announced that it was making Chicago the host city for 2016's worldwide Crown Championships of Cosplay, following on from this year's presence.
Winners from 6 worldwide competitions – India, Australia, Shanghai, France, New York, and of course Chicago will go head to head for the crown and for solid prize money.
And hopefully they keep a similar format and the same MC (Rubin Ervin) as they had at this year's Chicago show as it was actually a pretty well put together and fun show.
Congratulations to this year's Chicago winnerJim Schmid– an amazing Groot cosplayer who took home $5,000, along with the rest of the contestants that entered this year!
And as a side note, for next year's show, for those putting it together, please have the preshow not be something lame like the Qwizards game show! Thanks for your consideration.
