The Baltimore Comic-Con and Hard Rock Cafe Baltimore have announced the winners of the 15th Annual Cosplay Contest. The contest took place on Saturday, September 21, 2024 for both amateur and professional adults, and Sunday, September 22, 2024 for kids. Visually stunning costumes ranged from classic superheroes to video game, TV, and movie characters and beyond, and our contest has proven to be one of the most anticipated events at the show, for cosplayers and fans alike. The Hard Rock Cafe Baltimore returned as the 2024 Cosplay Contest and Showcase sponsor, bringing an internationally recognized pop culture brand and destination in as a partner to one of the show’s premiere events.
This year’s cosplay contest was split into novice, intermediate, and advanced contests, and a separate contest was held for kids as well.
The grand prize winner for Best in Show Costume, and the recipient of the $1,000 cash prize, was MandaloRaven for Din Djarin (if he was from Baltimore) from Star Wars.
