AnimeCon is one of the beating hearts of cosplay in the Netherlands. A place where both novice and experienced cosplayers can live their hobby to the fullest. You will find cosplay everywhere throughout the convention: many of the visitors wear their wonderful costumes, photographers enjoy taking pictures and we host many events about cosplay.

Everybody who is interested can cosplay at AnimeCon. To give everybody the possibility to enjoy cosplay to the fullest, we provide multiple cosplay activities during our festival. From beginning cosplayers to experts, we offer activities for all.

Cosplay Photography


Photocorners
Of course, if you don't want to shine on stage, there are many other opportunities for your hobby. For instance, AnimeCon has several different themed background spots, which can use for your pictures.

Cosplay Photography
Speaking of photography, besides AnimeCon's own photographers, there are many photographers as well. So if you are into cosplay photography, AnimeCon is the place to be. We do have some house rules regarding photography though. 2 tips for both cosplayers and photographers: make some (business) cards what you can trade for contact. And always ask before you make a picture, even if it is just a snapshot. That way you will get the best results.


But most of all, when you come to AnimeCon, you will meet many people who also love cosplay. Enjoy the community and meet old and new friends.
