Cosplay Contest Prizes

The Washington State Gaming Expo is putting together a fun and lucrative prize pool for this year’s cosplay contest. Prizes will include cash, tickets, gift certificates, and other goodies.

Cosplay Community

The Washington State Gaming Expo will provide a location that allows a spot for cosplayers to rest, socialize, and fellowship with fellow cosplayers. The area will be for a photo or two with friends, new friends, and even a home base to assist each other with costume needs. There will be areas for meetups, and take the all-important group photos.

Cosplay Gatherings

A highlight for many cosplayers, and for other event attendees, is the different cosplay contests and the gatherings of like costumes. Stay tuned to our social media and website for updates and meetup information.
