Hi Again guys!
Long time we don't update because our life has changed a lot in the last years. We have tried to begin again with our dearest hobby but for now it is impossible.
Today, we update for a very special reason. As lot of you already know, we began in the world of cosplay to reach a dream. Years ago, we heard about an international contest which let you go to Japan and meet lot of people from lot of parts of the world, its name is World Cosplay Summit 世界コスプレサミット
At first try, we didn't know anything about the contest and we participated only to test what could we do, but we reached surprisingly second place. So after this, we saw that we had possibilities to reach this dream and win our prelim.
After 7 years of incredible experiences and lot of work, we finally won which meant, we were the WCS 2012 representatives. It was one of our happiest moments and all the friends that we met during those years were happy to see us finally win.
We didn’t know that our imagination weren’t enough to imagine what we found in Japan; we found the best and happiest experience in our life; the life in WCS was awesome and we met friends that we conserve since then. Our memories of those moments remains in our brain and every august we feel nostalgic with the incredible feelings.
The contest has continued since 2012 with lot of new people enjoying and offering incredible cosplays and performances!
Sadly, Covid hit really hard to the contest; this year edition was cancelled and they had to do a special online event. The online event was incredible but nobody knew that after this event, WCS would give an awful and sad warning.
World cosplay summit is suffering a critical lack of funds because partners and sponsor cannot afford to put money for next year. If the organization doesn’t find a way to get money the event will be cancelled forever.
To avoid this, organization has created a kickstarter trying to save the contest. If you enter you will see that objective is complete but this is not the reality; the initial goal was only to see if it would be possible to fight for the project but the unfortunate truth is that without completing a goal of about $100,000 the WCS will not be able to continue.
Here's the link for the kickstarter;

You can see a better explanation about the situation in this video created by Benjamin, french organizer of WCS!

As we have already said, we consider WCS as one of the best experiences in a cosplayer life and we cannot let it finish this way. At least we need one year more to give a proper goodbye in case that they cannot find funds for 2022.
If you are not able to help with Money, there is another choice to support the Project.
If you are cosplayer you can upload a photo for a incredible mosaic of 10000 cosplay pictures that they are preparing with tag
If you upload the photo and share the situation of the contest and the kickstarter link you will help a lot.
Please help us to save this experience!
Thanks from the bottom of our heart!
