Sakura-Con
Sakura-Con 2025 18+ Skit Contest
See your favorite characters come to life on stage! The Sakura-Con 18+ Skit is a competition showcase of stage performance, open to Cosplayers of all levels of experience. This is not a Popularity Contest or a Look-aLike Contest. It’s YOUR opportunity to showcase performance skills and ham it up in front of a live adult audience.
The show will be judged on the performance specifically. And while costumes will be required, they will not be a primary focus of judging.
Awards will be given in each of the following 3 categories: Drama, Comedy, Musical. We will also be awarding Best In Show. (limit one entry per person or group).
Sign-ups are processed on a first-come- first-served basis, separated by category. All submissions will be reviewed by the Cosplay Contest Staff in the order they are received. Those not completed fully and correctly according to submission requirements below, will be rejected and asked to re-submit. Please take the time to thoroughly read the rules, and ask any questions before sign-ups are open.
