For years, the cosplay community of Utah has come together to share their talent through the Nihon Matsuri, and we are continuing that tradition with our Cosplay Contest! The goal of the contest is to explore Japanese culture through anime and other forms of entertainment popular in Japan, so we will continue our format of

providing an introduction that explains a bit about the series and characters being

 

represented on stage.

 

In addition to the thrill of participating in this one-of-a-kind contest, there are several

prizes and aware you can receive for your craft, performance, and presence!
