EZY SUMMERS COSPLAY
Hello!
I'm Ezy or known as EzysummersCosplay!
I've been cosplaying for over 10 years, and it's not just a hobby anymore, it's a profession!
It all started with my obsession with computer games as a child, then grew into an interest in Japanese art and traditions. I was instantly drawn into the magical world of cosplay!
There is no greater feeling than seeing and feeling yourself in the shoes of your favorite character! Therefore, over the years, each of us tries to improve our abilities and learn new things.
For many years I emphasized sewing as my main part in cosplay, which led to a lot of trial and error, headaches, but not least, satisfaction with the end result!
This is something I care a lot about and as a jury I watch for a good performance.
So far I have been a jury at an exciting event in Switzerland, side by side with big names like MaulCosplay, StylouzCosplay and Hakken. I have also attended various cosplay events around the world, I have met other big names and I have collected a little bit from here and there, tips, techniques and inspiration!
I have won several awards locally such as:
Anifest Costume - Christmas Edition 2014
Group Cosplay - Show - Aniplay 2017
Animes 2020 CWM Solo RunnerUp
Best Group and Best Comedy of Animes 2021
Triss Merigold Cosplayer of the year 2022 (online competition)
Best Costume at ComicCon BG 2023
Judges' choice at ComicCon BG 2023
Emiru's Twitch contest - 2nd place Photography
While mentioning my several awards, I can't forget to add my other passions - photography, retouching, makeup and acting!
I can't wait to see you all and surprise me with your wonderful creations!
WANYUSHA COSPLAY
Hello!
My name is Vanyusha and I have been cosplaying for 15 years. In the last 5 years, I started competing more seriously, having the honor to represent our country at many international events, including WCS, ICL, PGEC, etc., as well as working with large international companies.
Having been in business for so long, I understand how difficult it is to source quality materials locally. That's why I opened the first Bulgarian cosplay shop - BGCosplay, where I strive to offer a wide range of products to make it as easy as possible for cosplayers here.
I'm glad we'll be able to sponsor prizes during GFest 2024 again this year, and I hope you enjoy them!
I can't wait to see all the amazing costumes and performances!
ZIN
Hello!
My name is Zin and I have been cosplaying for over 10 years.
I'm a fan of villains and I've made a costume for someone more than once
of them.
What I love most about cosplay is the stage performance and -play, the part.
I have represented Bulgaria at several competitions in Europe, Saudi Arabia
Arabia and Japan and it has always been a great honor for me to go on stage with
talented cosplayers from all over the world.
In 2024 me and Penumbra Cosplays won a special award for the most
good costume at the World Cosplay Summit in Japan.
Despite trying, I'm always surprised at how much a person can do
learn from the numerous techniques that other cosplayers
use, so I can't wait to see the participants at GFest 2024 and
again to be part of the jury of this event.
You're a fan of cosplay, but you weren't afraid to enter the competition
us?
Want to show off your costume in front of an audience??
We have prepared something special for you!!
