MegaCon Costume Contest 2018: Best in Show with Snow Knight!

By May 27, 2018June 4th, 2018Conventions
2018 marked my fourth visit to my hometown convention, MegaCon. Of course I had to participate in the annual cosplay contest. This year, the MegaCon Costume contest acted as the “Master of Cosplay Southeast Qualifier,” so the stakes were even higher! To up my game, I gave Snow Knight some upgrades before the contest.

MegaCon Costume Contest Updates!

Since finishing the Snow White Knight, I always felt the leggings were missing a certain something. To fill in the large swath of plain gold, I hand painted filigree vines down the thigh of each legging. In order to make sure the vines didn’t immediately peel off, I used acrylic watered down and mixed with Angelus Satin Finisher. Then, I added some gems for a true Snow White sparkle! The detail really made a big difference.

Back to the MegaCon Costume Contest! This year there was some stiff competition! All the cosplayers looked fantastic, from the youth division all the way up to Masters. Some of my favorites were Rotten Rider Cosplay as Doctor Doom, Lindsay Premo as Alexstrasza, and Studio HexMortis and their crazy Gate Monster! There was also an outstanding Cydaea from Diablo 3 – Leave me a comment if you know this cosplayer!

To my total amazement, I took home “Best in Show,” and will be traveling to compete in the Master of Cosplay contest at FanExpo Canada! Being an Orlandoian, it felt AMAZING to win with a Disney-themed cosplay. What better to represent MegaCon Orlando at the Master of Cosplay Contest?! To all of the contestants who won, congratulations! I hope to see you all again next year (where I hope to be a judge 😄).
