This year we are featuring 2 categories - Competitive and Non-Competitive

Competitive: This category is for creatives who take their cosplay to the next level. All submissions in this category will be reviewed for quality and workmanship. You can apply with your work-in-progress plan or completed cosplay photos through this form. Submissions need to be received by Sunday, June 22nd for review. At that time, our internal Digital Extremes team will verify that your costume meets our criteria for the Competitive category. Only costumes that meet our criteria will be featured in the TennoCon contest. Costumes do not need to be 100% complete by the June 22nd review deadline, but they do need to be complete by July 18th for TennoCon.

Competitive applicants will hear back from the Digital Extremes Community Team by Monday June 30th. Please take your time with your application and add as many photos as possible. Top prize is $10,000 CAD, with additional prizes available for runners-up.

Non-Competitive: This category is for creatives who like to have fun dressing as their favourite Digital Extremes characters and want to share their designs in-person with others. Non-Competitive cosplayers will be invited to share their costumes on stage before the Competitive contest begins. The winners and runner ups in this category could receive digital in-game prizes from Warframe or Soulframe to celebrate their efforts.

*Competitive Entrants must be able to attend in-person prejudging at 11 a.m. on Friday, July 18th. All candidates will share their cosplay on the main stage later that night!
