Many cosplayers (around 14) spread across a stage in a wide range of costumes. Cool poses galore.

Watching folks wander around in cosplay is a huge part of the joy of PAX Aus. I particularly love the meet ups between squads of folks all attending as the same characters and getting big group photos out on the lawn.

But there's general cosplay fun and then there's the serious stuff: the Cosplay Central Crown Championships. If you want to compete for trophies, flights and accommodation to the global finals in London, and more, you need to apply here by September 21.

Last year's Australian winner, Henchwench, went on to become the global champion! So this year she's on the judging panel along with Anaelic and Kayla Jean. If you just want to enjoy the show the competition is live on stage on Sunday, October 12.
