Let's talk cosplay competitions. Have you ever thought that you start at Novice, then move to Journeyman, then Master, then contest judging? I did too!
The reality isn't so simple though and that's why I wanted to share my story. Every con has different rules so some cons I was Masters and others I was Journeyman. I've been judged by people who have never competed in a cosplay contest before. Original design category is a lawless land. Let's take a more realistic look at what a cosplay contest journey can look like.
