S2 Games (Heroes of Newerth, Strife) have announced that they will be holding a cosplay competition at PAX East 2014.
Entry to the competition is free but space is limited. The deadline is 1PM (EST) on Saturday, April 12. You can get more information at the S2 cosplay website.
The contest is open to all PAX East attendees and features prizes including cash, exclusive entry into upcoming events and a chance to judge a future competition. The panel of judges for the PAX East competition will include The Neo Tokyo Project’s Jason Koh and Joey Lim, winners of the inaugural cosplay competition in Singapore.
“We’re all huge fans of cosplay here at S2 Games,” said Marc DeForest, CEO of S2 Games. “The level of creativity and ingenuity that these cosplayers possess is truly astounding. We wanted to put an event together where we can honor their talent for all the fans at PAX East.”
This live event is open to all PAX East attendees and will be held at the S2 Games Strife Lounge, Room # 159, at 6PM EDT on Saturday, April 12. The contest is broken down into two categories that participants can compete in: Male and Female. Winners of each category will be awarded a cash prize of $500 and will officially be commissioned and contracted by S2 Games to create a costume based on the heroes featured in Strife. S2 will fund all the materials needed for the construction of up to $1,500. Winners will also be offered the opportunity to travel to S2’s next cosplay contest to show off what they’ve constructed. Additional prizes include judging a future competition and potentially being invited to attend other Strife events by S2 Games and its global partners.
