Cosplay Senpai
Leading by example through positivity and acceptance.
The Cosplay Senpai Program handpicks Cosplayers who have shown community support and outreach through positivity both at conventions and in the online world. They are invited to come and promote fun, passion, and acceptance within the cosplay community through panels and discussions. The Cosplay Senpai are always open to answering questions, giving advice, and talking with attendees; they can be found in theEntertainment Hall.
Anime Expo advocates the idea that cosplay is for everyone --no matter what size, gender, age, religion, shape, color, or even species. Cosplay is all about having fun! The Cosplay Senpai help support our mission to promote the message that anyone and everyone can cosplay.
To do this, the AX Cosplay Senpai are expected to:
- Give back to the community by providing tutorials or other resources.
- Promote positivity online through meaningful dialogue about a variety of topics.
- Actively engage with the cosplay community in-person and online.
- Maintain a family-friendly feel with their representation through photos and content that would be comparable to a PG rating.

Please be sure to tell us who you are suggesting and explain why you think he/she/they/you might be a good fit for our Cosplay Senpai Program.
