Cosplay Land
If cosplay is your game, then Cosplay Land is your new homebase at PAX Aus. Check out these fantastic cosplay features and activities taking place at the show.
Cosplay Central Crown Championships
PAX Aus is host to the Australian leg of the Cosplay Central Crown Championships.
Formed in 2021 through the merging of the EuroCosplay Championships (held since 2010 at MCM Comic Con London) and the Crown Championships of Cosplay (traditionally held at C2E2), this competition brings together elite cosplayers from around the world. In 2027, the global finals will officially be hosted at MCM Comic Con London.

In addition, we ask that you not take pictures in the Expo Hall aisles for the sake of traffic flow, no matter HOW rad that Sheik costume is!
