Especially when I know there are tons of folks that would jump on this contest in an instant.

Hm. Hm.

We used to get Fan Festivals that featured arts, crafts, and cosplay contests! I remember Bayohne doin' the play-by-play commentary of the Atomos Challenge back in 2007. That was an awesome weekend. I really miss those festivals.

SE is a company, in order to remain a company in a country they have to check. They know better than you do unless you happen to run a multi-billion dollar company in multiple nations?

Someone should cosplay this handsome fellow.

A good Van Darnus cosplay would be really impressive though.

OFF-TOPIC: Being quoted in someone else's signature is the highest honor I can think of on this forum. ^_^

Sorry. Carry on, and do not spare any Miqo'te cosplays.

A grand prize to Japan and tour of the offices....thats a pretty big prize, the biggest one yet o.o I wonder if they make you dress up for the tour of the offices...cause they should.

Depending on the cosplay, that may not be the best idea...

*thinks back to 2007 and the kid who dressed in an Alexander cosplay struggling to use the escalator*

And the whole time I watched this, I was humming this to myself. It still makes me laugh when I think about it today. :D

Though it ruined the song for me, much in the same way my friend ruined the Steve Perry song "Oh Sherrie" by singing, "Oh Larry."

Maybe because the main price is a fly ticket. Maybe it has something to do with insurance policies. Or maybe they need first to travel to a SE branch office with own money and then someone from SE travel with them.

Good luck EU players, Subligar costume will win 1st place for sure!!

wtf I can't participate...

Don't want to check the forums anymore lol ;;
