For many years now, Australian anime publisher Madman Entertainment have searched the country high and low to find out whom among the cosplaying community is worthy of representing Australia, with a number of rather significant goodies up for grabs to those who come out on top.
The company have confirmed that the Madman National Cosplay Championship with be returning for 2014, and they have just launched applications for residents of each Australian state to take part in the preliminary rounds. These rounds will take place during each Supanova event during the year in addition to the Adelaide round which due to timing issues will be held by AVCON.
Dates for each of the preliminary rounds, which are open to the public, will be held on the following days:
Gold Coast Saturday, April 5, 2014
Melbourne Saturday, April 12, 2014
Sydney Saturday, June 14, 2014
Perth Saturday, June 21, 2014
Adelaide Saturday, July 19, 2014
While the winners of the prelims will walk away with Madman Entertainment vouchers and potentially a trip to the grand finals in Brisbane, Queensland… the winner of said grand final will earn themselves a seven day trip for two to Japan!
