Cosplay and Pyrkon have always been like warm apple pie and ice cream to each other – everyone knows they taste best together! With their work, often lasting many months, cosplayers turn the halls of the Poznań fair into a fairy-tale, wonderful world. It is thanks to them that you can fully immerse yourself in your favorite universes, meet your beloved character from the series, game or manga. To their delight and to encourage more people to reach for costumes, a full-size Cosplay Zone was created in Hall 7A!
Not one, but two cosplay competitions! The Masquerade with qualifiers for the Extreme Cosplay Gathering Championship will take place on Saturday in the Earth Hall. You can watch the Own Design Competition on Friday at the Cosplay Stage in the Cosplay Zone (Hall 7A). All cosplayers are welcome to apply!
We realize that competitions can be quite a challenge, especially for beginner cosplayers. Therefore, although we encourage everyone to participate in the Masquerade and our Own Design Competition, daily open cosplay shows have been created. Visit the Cosplay Stage in Hall 7A at the scheduled time and walk around the catwalk, getting a well-deserved ovation! We do not conduct any preregistrations!
COSPITAL
We understand perfectly well that it is not possible to sew pockets deep enough to fit glue and a needle with thread in each costume, so here we are entering with a first aid station equipped with the necessary tools and materials. Cospital is free and open to everyone.
Sewing, cutting and design support will be provided by the sewing school team. From basic lessons on how to use the sewing machine to complex tailoring challenges, specialists will guide, explain, help, and, if necessary, repair what needs repairing. In terms of thermoplastics, tools, gluing, grinding and any props that got out of control, free help will be provided by the well-known cosplayer company Cosplay Craft.
AUTOGRAPHS AND MEETINGS
High five, take a picture and get advice on how to make costumes even better! We have invited creators from Poland and abroad, who will be available in the Cosplay Zone every day. Autographs are free, but you can buy signed photos and cosplayers’ posters on-site. Autograph signings are not subject to registration. The schedule for those will appear before Pyrkon.
FOTOSTUDIO
The Divbor Studio offers free photo sessions. Looking for a souvenir from Pyrkon? Want a professional photo of your costume? Or maybe you have met great people dressed as characters from the same series and you simply must have a photo together? Shrouded in smoke and enveloped in lights, you will be immortalized in a photo that you will be able to download online after Pyrkon from the Pyrkon fan page. The photo studio is free of charge.

Where to fix an outfit? COSPITAL. You will find it in Hall 7A. Sewing machines, heat guns, hot glue guns, foams, worbles, and finally the good old safety pins. Our team will help you quickly fix any faults and, if necessary, teach you how to avoid similar surprises in the future
Where to win something? COSPLAY COMPETITIONS. You can find out more about the Masquerade (Saturday, Earth Hall in the PCC building) and the Own Design competition (Friday, Hall 7A) on this subpage.
Where do I show off my costume? Anyone can wear a cosplay at Pyrkon. Made by yourself or bought, it is always welcome at the convention. The daily Open Cosplay Shows on the Cosplay Stage in Hall 7A remain a place to show it off. This is one of those program events where you just have to come because there is no pre-registration necessary.
Cosplay i Pyrkon zawsze byli dla siebie jak ciepła szarlotka i lody – wszyscy wiedzą, że razem smakują najlepiej! Cosplayerzy swoją pracą, często trwającą wiele miesięcy, zmieniają hale poznańskich targów w baśniowy i cudowny świat. To dzięki nim możecie zanurzyć się w pełni w wasze ulubione uniwersa, spotkać na żywo ukochaną postać z serialu, gry czy mangi.
