The long-awaited Cosplay Carnival 2022 attracted a large number of cosplayers and fans to the SMX Convention Center in Manila. It was held from April 30 to May 1 in Halls 2 to 4 for the enjoyment of people from the Philippines and even around the world.

The event began on time, and a large number of convention attendees have already taken their seats in front of the stage. The crowd was hyped up by the hosts and it shows how everyone was thrilled to be a part of and witness this exciting event.

While the event was ongoing, some of the con-goers went ahead and explored the con, which is full of exhibitor booths. The crowd’s personal favorite was the Salompas booth, especially the cosplayers who wore heavy costumes. It’s really admirable how they don’t care about the pain they’ll feel as long as they’re having fun. Well, that’s what cosplay is all about.

The District 1 Cosplay Studio pop-up studio was a hit for cosplayers. A lot of them took their time and waited in line just to get their picture taken. It is truly magical to see your cosplay complimenting the amazing background and the wait is all worth it.

The Events program such as Cosplay OTP, Coplay Karaoke, Frenemy Feud, and Cosplay Dance Duet went smoothly, and a large number of people took part and definitely enjoyed themselves. The performances were also a hit with the audience, who erupted in applause and even joined in with the singing. Meanwhile, the auction was such a bargain because the starting bid for almost every item was one peso!

In the same way that our dear Plant Lily has reminded us, we must also remind ourselves and others that cosplay is not a competition and that it is there for us to have fun and enjoy ourselves. It is a wonderful reminder for us, and it is applicable not only to the cosplay community but to everyone in general.

Fortunately, we are at alert level 1 so a large number of cosplayers from all over the Philippines came from far and wide are able to participate in the cosplay craze, and everyone was very determined to cosplay even if they were outside the SMX and in the heat, the cosplayers had warm smiles on their faces and the sounds of laughter and joy from friend groups reuniting filled the air.

Not only is it the comeback of Cosplay Carnival, but it is also Arkadymac’s 10th anniversary, and it is an honor to be part of such a wonderful group of people. It gives us great pleasure to cover and serve as their official media partner for this highly anticipated event, and we look forward to the following! The members deserve a lot of credit for covering such an incredible event.
