#manfred cosplay

I entered into my first ever cosplay contest and won!? Took the 'Best Novice' award and won my division. I am stunned.

I went to the Toronto Game Expo this weekend. Hadn't heard of this convention before and thought it sounded neat, plus I wanted another opportunity to wear my Manfred cosplay. Just for fun I entered into the cosplay contest. I have never done one before and thought it would be a good chance to see what the experience was like and if I enjoyed it.

The judges were so welcoming and friendly, and the other competitors were super fun and nice. It was a great day, and I was having a great time.

And then I won?!

I had hoped to maybe take 'Best Video Game cosplay' or a Judge's Choice award. But I somehow won the entire division! A couple days later and I am still buzzing. I can't believe it.

Was absolutely a blast, and definitely an unforgettable first foray into cosplay competitions. I will absolutely be giving them another go, seeing if I had beginners luck haha.
