2024 Cosplay Contest Judges ( 2025 Cosplay Contest Judges to be announced soon!)
All Nighter Cosplay
All Nighter Cosplay is a competitive and ero-cosplayer from Southern California. A cosplayer of over ten years, he has found confidence and community through this art form and strives to see others do the same! In addition to modeling, he enjoys making tutorials and teaching workshops for beginner cosplayers at conventions around SoCal.
Luluko
Luluko is a competition-focused cosplayer on a mission to demystify masquerades for everyone! In her 15 years in the hobby, Lulu has crafted multiple award-winning performances (most recently at Anime Los Angeles 2024), judged competitions for over a decade, and staffed competitions like Crunchyroll-Hime’s Cosplay Cup. Lulu is also a newborn Californian, having just relocated to Los Angeles to continue her career in video games, and she can’t wait to see more of the talent SoCal has to offer!
Cyriichii
Totally here for the vibes, Cyriichii has been helping cosplayers for the last 10 years. To her if it’s in the heart it’s in the art! Outside of squashing bugs and robots she spends time mentoring fledgling cosplayers through not just the craft but the little things no one really thinks about. Like have you ever thought about packing a 7 foot prop down so they fit in a travel carry on? Or how to change out of cosplay in the confines of a passenger seat? Neither did we!
