The Infinity Con Tallahassee Cosplay Contest!

The Cosplay Contest is one of the biggest highlights at Infinity Con. Each year, contestants get to show off their cosplay creations, no matter their skill level: Apprentice, Journeyman, Master.  We can't wait to see your cosplays come to life!


Cosplay Contest will be at 4:00 pm on Saturday, on the Main Stage.
