They will all be involved in Q&A sessions and also available for meet and greets during organised signing and photograph sessions across the weekend.
It’s not just the stars of the screen who share the limelight at Oz Comic Con, with a stack of awesome Cosplayers part of this year’s lineup. Those involved include Jusz Cosplay, Rhyleep, Chesh Rae, Claarz.cozplays and Reversetibbers, who will share their knowledge with fans and discuss how they bring their creations to life.
Adelaide Cosplayers who fancy themselves on the level of Cosplay champion Giorgia will want to enter the prestigious Australian Championships of Cosplay that will once again be held at the Showgrounds. This is the second instalment of the completion this year, with those lucky enough to qualify getting the chance to strut their stuff at the final in Sydney later this year.
