NDK 24 - Cosplay Contest

Finally! I have completed the preperation’s to post about the NDK 2021 Cosplay Contest! If you only want to look at pretty pictures you can go here and ignore the rest of this post.

At this years cosplay contest I took 3,570 photos in total. Out of those only 367 of those were anywhere near good enough to post, or 10% of photos taken. This year’s contest had some great costumes and you could tell everyone put a lot of work into their cosplay. You can find the full gallery above, but from here on forward you will find the people that won awards in the contest! As a side note, all names for the cosplayers came from a recording I took during the contest. My phonetic spelling is not perfect, so if I got something wrong let me know.
