Contest details have been announced for the upcoming South East Asia Regional Cosplay Championships that will be held during AFA 09. The contest format is similar to the World Cosplay Summit where contestants must enter the contest as a duo.

The cosplay competition is another joint collaboration with Dannychoo, and interested contestants would have to submit photos of themselves via figure.fm. Online registration will close on 8th October 2009 at 12pm Japan Time.

The top cosplay team from each participating South East Asian country will be sponsored by AFA09 to fly to Singapore to compete in the Regional Cosplay Championship during the two-day anime festival where they will perform and be judged by a panel of distinguished guests from Japan including internationally renowned cosplayer Kaname☆.

Of course, I wouldn’t be participating in the event because I would be busy going around shooting lovely photos of them. I do hope to see more and better quality cosplay this year.

In the meantime, here’s a absoultely stunning photo of Chamaro-san [ちゃまろさん] cosplaying as Mari Illustrious Makinami from Evanglion 2.0 movie. Ever since I shared with you folks of her Haruhi Cosplay, I’ve been keeping track of her cosplay and she is just amazingly kawaii.
