For the second straight year, Cash & Carry Mall in Makati got to host another huge cosplay jamboree last last July 5 and 6, 2025 as Cosplay Camp brought the fandom community together with fascinating booths, attractions, contests and activities for attendees. Cosplay Camp got to deliver another fun and cozy experience for the hobby community despite the inclement weather.
Since its inaugural event last year, Cosplay Camp has been a casual and cozy event for fans and con-goers alike, Cosplay Camp was a free, casual, and community-centric event where attendees and mall patrons could enjoy a variety of contests, games and auctions centered more on having fun rather than intense competition.
Cosplay Camp allowed attendees to explore a remarkable number of exhibitors and booths, then scout for unique merchandise, captivating art, exclusive collectibles, cosplay and fashion accessories that were hard to find anywhere else, like from community clothing brand T-Tees.
With engaging activities like Ready Set Auction, Trivia throne Throwdown, Cosplay Parade, Camfire Song Fest led by hots Art and Kenkoy, attendees and mall patrons got to take part in the fun, all part of a laid-back yet enjoyable experience.
Cosplay Camp will also had music and entertainment for all campers as Fromajuu and FESTA delighted fans with exciting and passionate performances.
Cosplay Camp’s highlight was the Cosplay Crosswalk was a contest that focused more on having fun rather than intense competition. The mechanics were simple. Instead of being required to do a skit onstage, cosplayers just needed to cross the stage in character. If the judge liked their cosplay, she will play the kazoo and that contestant automatically became a finalist.
Serving as the judge was arkadymac.com’s Correspondent Xai, who is a seasoned cosplayer and aarkadymac.com’s Correspondent for the 5 past who has helped us cover the biggest events in the country.
At the end of the Crosswalk, all the finalists got up on stage and the winner was be determined by loudest applause by the audience! All finalists got to take home some nice prizes.
Cosplay Camp was fun and cozy as promised and was a nice opportunity for fans, cosplayers , attendees and collectors to come together, know each other, take photos, and spend leisurely time together at a laid-back and friendly atmosphere.
Congratulations to all of the organizers who made Cosplay Camp possible and providing a fun event for everyone. Up next for them will be ACX 2025 on July 19-20, 2025 at the SMX Convention Center Manila. We also hope to see you there as we have a special coverage of the event.
