Cosplay Contest Submission Guidelines

Dust off your sewing machines and fire up those heat guns, the TwitchCon Cosplay Contest is coming to Amsterdam! Join the best cosplayers on Twitch and stream your process to compete for a $10,000 grand prize. The contest will also feature $4,000 prizes for each of the category winners: Needlework, Armor, FX, and Larger Than Life, plus a community choice winner who will also receive $4,000.

A few guidelines when preparing your cosplay:
If you think you’ve got what it takes to compete with the best cosplayers on Twitch, we’d love to take your submission right here. There are just a few things you need to do to be eligible:

  • Stream your creation process on Twitch for a total of at least 15 hours.
  • Highlight each of the broadcasts that showcase your work on your cosplay. Remember: if you don’t highlight your broadcast, the broadcast will disappear and the TwitchCon committee won’t be able to evaluate all of your hard work!
  • Use the “Cosplay” tag when streaming and include “TwitchCon Amsterdam 2022 Cosplay Contest Entry” in the title of your broadcast.
  • Please read the full rules before submitting to the contest. Full information on the contest, prizes, and rules can be found here.
  • We ask all contestants to abide by Twitch’s Code of Conduct and Community Guidelines to maintain stagetime on the Glitch Stage.


Finalists will receive the following inclusions from Twitch:

  • You and a +1 will be given complimentary TwitchCon badges (or a refund if you already purchased a badge) for access to the show.
  • You will also be given a monetary stipend to assist with your travel to the show.
