Leading by example through positivity and acceptance.
Anime Expo is a strong advocate for the idea that Cosplay is all about having fun! No matter your race, faith, gender, sexuality, identity, age, or level of experience, Cosplay is for any and everyone!
The Cosplay Senpai Program hand selects Cosplayers that have supported the community with positivity both online and at conventions and they are invited to the Cosplay Senpai Program to further influence the community with fun, passion, and acceptance through panels and discussions. When they are not at a workshop or panel, they can always be found in the Entertainment Hall, ready to answer questions, give advice, and talk to attendees.
Anime Expo Cosplay Senpais are typically found…
· Giving back to the community by providing tutorials or other resources.
· Promoting positivity online through meaningful dialogue about a variety of topics.
· Actively engaging with the cosplay community in-person and online.
· Maintaining a family-friendly feel with their representation through photos and content that would be comparable to a PG rating.
