We are extremely excited to invite Diana the Great and Duff Cosplay back to judge the Hallway Cosplay Contest!
Diana The Great is an accomplished cosplayer from the greater Kansas City Metro. She holds nearly ten years of experience in a variety of crafting and creative media; from sewing to foam work, wig creation, makeup, facepaint and more.
Entirely self taught, Diana's love for cosplay began with a fierce passion for the office Halloween contests; continually upping the ante every year until that admiration trickled over into the convention world where she also competed and began to rise in rank. As a master level cosplayer, Diana's efforts are geared to empower others. She strives to educate with every cosplay that she creates; from the smallest detail to the biggest prop-- she loves to help! In addition, Diana actively seeks to bring representation, promote diversity and inclusion in all that she does, with a little of her creative flair mixed between. Her overarching goal is to show that cosplay truly is for everyone.
Duff Cosplay is a family that creates costumes and props to have fun and meet fellow cosplayers. We love displaying and our interpretations of pop culture characters. We create using multiple mediums including fabric, metal, and leather. Many of our cosplays incorporate electronics and mechanical systems. We have been humbled with great success competing around the country. Most notably winning Master class awards in Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago and Salt Lake City. We are most proud of the Judges Choice at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, Best in Show Nebraskon 2019, and 2nd Place Armor at Crown Championship: Midwest Region 2020!
