2023 LCS Official Cosplay Contest

Apr 28, 2023

Its time again to announce the LCS Official Cosplay Contest. Back again for the 5th year in a row, this highly competitive cosplay contest is our once-a-year celebration of the North American Cosplay community. Through passion, artistry, and creativity, they bring our characters to life. To help give back in a small way, we offer our North American Cosplay Community a premiere contest during LCS Summer Finals this August.

After listening to feedback from last year, we are changing up the rules a little and adding categories and a digital pre-judging part of this contest. This way more of the cosplay community can be celebrated throughout the Summer Split! More on those categories below.

During LCS Summer Finals, winners of each category will compete for the Grand Prize: a round trip ticket to Worlds for them and a friend, and a cash prize of $5,000! Runners-up will receive prizes as well! 2nd place will receive $2,000, with 3rd place being awarded $1,000. Viewers will also be able to vote on social for their favorite as the “Fan Favorite.” The Fan Favorite award will win an extra $500.

We’re sure you have a ton of questions on how to submit your cosplays! So let’s get into the nitty-gritty...
