The staff of World Cosplay Summit India and Cosplay Genie announced on Facebook on Friday that they have extended the registration deadline for the Indian qualifiers for the World Cosplay Summit 2022 event to April 15.
Team India won the Environmental Consideration in Costume Making award at last year's World Cosplay Summit Finals that took place from August 7-8.
KitsuneBlood Cosplays cosplayed as Kagura and Hotaru Juno cosplayed as Matako Kijima from the Gintama anime.
The preliminaries for the World Cosplay Summit 2021 Video Championship opened in April 2021. Participants entered the online competition in pairs.
Cosplay Genie by NODWIN Gaming and AIMAP (Association of Indian fans for Manga, Anime and Pop culture) organized the Indian preliminaries for the competition in 2021.
The WCS event hosted both physical and online events in 2021. The physical event took place on August 7 and 8 at various locations centered around Oasis 21 in Nagoya.
WCS included cosplay events with photoshoots and stage events, as well as a video cosplay championship. The event's executive committee includes the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya City, Nagoya Convention & Visitors Bureau, Osu Shopping District Alliance, Aichi Television Broadcasting, and WCS.
The event canceled its Championship and International Representative events in 2020 due to the ongoing new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, and instead held a "Cosplay Summit Online Presentation."
