Exciting cosplay news continues!! 📍

You thought we were done?

Not even close 😄

This year’s theme has inspired something even bigger…

🏘️ Welcome to the NDK Cosplay Village!

We’re bringing everything cosplay together into one immersive space.

What you’ll find:
- The new Cosplay Exhibition (formerly the museum!)
- A mini cosplay library 📚
- Displays of last year’s winning builds 🏆
- Workshop spaces to learn and grow
- Lounge areas with themed mini photo spots 🌿

Think: a full cosplay hub where you can create, learn, relax, and connect.

There is SO much happening this year… and we are just getting started.

We seriously cannot wait to share it all with you 💛

Alright, let’s talk dates 👇

Masters Showcase Applications:
📅 July 2 – July 18
📣 Notifications go out the following weekend

Now… onto the next big update 👀

We are moving Beginner & Intermediate Showcase entries to a LOTTERY SYSTEM 🎟️

Here’s how it works:
- Applications open for 1 week only: July 18 – 25
- Submit anytime, no speed advantage!
- No more racing the clock or fighting your internet 🙌

Then on:
📅 August 1st
We’ll host a LIVE STREAM drawing!

BUT! We’re keeping it fun and anonymous:
You’ll receive a random code name, and that’s what gets drawn live.

If you don’t get picked?
➡️ You’re automatically added to the waitlist

Why the change?
- Removes stress for competitors
- Removes tech chaos for staff
- Creates a fair playing field for everyone

We know some loved the “refresh button Olympics”… but this is a better experience all around 💛

Hello NDK Friends!

It’s been a while… and we’re starting the hype just a little earlier this year 👀

But trust us, we’ve got a LOT to share (and some very important dates)!

Let’s dive in!

First BIG change:
Our main show cosplay competition, the Cosplay Showcase, is moving to juried selection for Masters!

We know… that might sound a little intimidating at first. But this actually helps everyone in the long run.

How it works:
- Applications are open for 2 full weeks (no more speed stress!)
- Submit anytime during that window ✅
- You’ll include a digital build book/portfolio

Do you need to be 100% done?
Nope! Just about 50% complete with a mini build book showing your progress.

What you don’t need yet:
- No audio
- No video
- Just your standard application info

Why this change?
- Gives you a clearer timeline = less last-minute stress
- Helps avoid unfinished dropouts
- Lets us lock in Masters early for better scheduling
- Prepares you for bigger, international competitions 👀

We’re leveling up NDK Cosplay and getting ready to show the world what the Rockies can do 💥
