Aurora Cosplay Tournament is an international cosplay competition born in Tracon, one of Finland’s leading anime and cosplay conventions held in Tampere. Our event takes place at Tampere Hall which is one of the biggest cultural and congress centres in the Nordic countries. Its main stage offers a perfect stage for cosplay performances at highest level with over 1800 seats for the audience. Our dream is to establish a respected, high-level cosplay competition for the Baltic Sea region that:

    • Connects events and communities across borders
    • Provides an international-level stage for selected representatives
    • Celebrates cosplay as both craftsmanship and performance art

ACT honors both emerging talents and experienced masters - anyone who approaches cosplay with passion, dedication, and artistic ambition.

Do you want to represent your country at Aurora Cosplay Tournament?

Aurora Cosplay Tournament is a competition for groups of two to four cosplayers. Competitors are selected through partner events across the Baltic Sea region. If your convention would like to become part of our community and send representatives to perform on the Aurora stage, we would love to hear from you.

Let’s build the Baltic Sea’s own cosplay art showcase together.
