Experience the Fantastic - ICoN Cosplay Photo Fest 2024

ICoN Cosplay Photo Festival is a weekend that brings together cosplayers and photographers of all skill levels against the backdrop of the capital city of our beautiful and iconic island - nipaluna/ Hobart in lutriwita/Tasmania.

ICoN Cosplay Photo Festival is a cosplay photography event inspired by festivals
such as Wellington Cosplay Photo Fest in New Zealand, and European events such as Volta in Cosplay.

ICoN pays homage to past cosplay and Japanese popular culture events held in Tasmania,
while celebrating new and exciting inovations in cosplay and photography.

 This event will take place on lutruwita (Tasmania) Aboriginal land, sea and waterways.
We acknowledge, with deep respect the traditional owners of this land, the muwinina people.

Registration now OPEN

Opens May 1 2024 and closes June 30 2024

ICoN welcomes cosplayers and photographers of all skill levels, experience, body shape, and gender.
