*Cosplayer Exchange Program
A winning team may be invited to participate in a Cosplayer Exchange Program to perform overseas. In such cases,

  • The overseas trip will be offered to the Grand Prize winners first; if the Grand Prize winner declines, the overseas trip will then be offered to the 1st Runner Up.
  • In the interest of expanding the experience, if the Grand Prize winner has participated in the overseas trip on the (immediate) year before, the overseas trip will then be offered to the 1st Runner Up instead.
  • The precise dates of the overseas trip would be subject to the availability of Comic Fiesta’s partnering event(s).
  • Flights and accommodation for the winning team member(s) will be covered for the overseas trip; saikangs, and/or assistants will not be included.
