Anime NYC invited me as a cosplay guest to judge their 2025 Cosplay Masquerade at the convention. I was officially announced in March of 2024 with the con taking place the following August. I was also asked to contribute a costume to the Cosplay Exhibition.

I’m honored to be alongside fellow judges Hoku Props, who made the trophy for the competition, and Plexi Cosplay. They are two highly skilled veteran creators that I admire and am very fortunate to work with them in my first ever judging role! Anime NYC is a cornerstone in the New York cosplay community and I’m excited to have the experiences of judging and guesting at such a prestigious event with many passionate contestants.

Special thanks to Kirsty for making it happen!
