Anime Expo ChibiTBD TBD
Anime ExpoJuly 3-6, 2025 Los Angeles Convention Center
Masquerade
It’s cosplay, it’s performance, it’s world famous and not to be missed. Above all else, it’s COSPLAY. There are three levels being judged, so even if this is your first cosplay experience, get out there, show and be your character. Prizes, anyone?
World Cosplay Summit USA Finals
Compete for a chance to represent the USA in the Cosplay Championship at World Cosplay Summit in Nagoya, Japan! The WCS US Finals take place during Anime Expo’s Masquerade and run as a separate competition in accordance with WCS rules and regulations. There are no skill requirements for WCS, and all cosplayers are invited to enter.
AMV Competition
Anime Expo’s Anime Music Video Competition is one of our most cherished and longest running events. This event features a wild assortment of short music videos, each of which is created by fans across the globe.
Late Comedy Showdown
It’s a head-to-head comedy slam and the audience calls the winner. But your otaku culture routine can outwit their J-nerd lifestyle observations anytime. Brush up your jokes just to be safe, because this contest comes with prizes for audience and comedians.
Game Shows
Game Shows allow attendees to get involved in our programming, not just to have fun, but also win prizes! From Otaku Parliamentary Debate to Cosplay Wrestling Federation, join an interactive display of fandom and fun.
Tabletop Gaming
It will be a sea of game boards. Not just the games you know, but new games too; games you’ve never seen before. There will, of course, be tournaments raging each day, but you’re free to keep it casual too.
