COSPLAY ATTRACTIONS

Cosplayers, assemble. Find everything you love about cosplay at our Cosplay HQ, including the Cosplay Red Carpet, Photo Park, cosplay guests, community groups, and so much more.

Whether this is your first foray into costumes or you're a seasoned creator, FAN EXPO Dallas official Cosplay Guests are here to show you how to level up all areas of your cosplay creations. From foam and textiles to 3D printing and armor construction, there is a panel and workshop for everyone.

Cosplayers, register now to compete for cosplay glory, $1,000 cash, and a chance to head to the Grand Finale.

Ready for a challenge? The Cosplay Replica Contest tasks cosplayers with recreating a prop or costume piece to the best of their abilities. Our panel of expert judges will select the Best Novice Maker and the Best Experienced Maker, while attendees of FAN EXPO Dallas will vote for their Fan Favorite.

Prepare for adventure with workshops by the Armor Academy. These workshops will have a ticket option for those who wish to actively participate and get hands on, or you can learn by watching for free during these classes where their experts will show you how to take your creation skills to a whole new level.

Get ready for the Cosplay Red Carpet. No registration, no competition, no stress. This is your chance to show off your amazing cosplay to fans and photographers, and get your free Cosplay Red Carpet photo from a professional photographer. Check the schedule closer to the show for details. 

Even the most seasoned cosplayer needs time to sit, rest, and recharge. Head to the FAN EXPO Dallas Cosplay Hideaway for a quiet place where you can relax and get ready for all the fun the show has to offer.

Put on your best costume and get ready to strike a pose solo or as a group with unique backdrops at our free Cosplay Photo Park.

Are you a member of Class 1A searching for fellow heroes in training? A Jedi in need of an Order? A witch or wizard looking for your housemates? Join our cosplay meetups to get the ultimate group photo and meet fellow fans. Check the schedule closer to the show for specific dates and times.

From fabrication to acting, our line up of pros are on hand to show you how to take your cosplay game to the next level. Attend a panel, check out a demo, or meet them one-on-one. Check the schedule closer to the show for details.
