Can you believe we've never had an official, sitewide, real-life Gaia cosplay contest before? That's insane! So let's have one, huh?

You can enter in six main categories based on some of our most popular shopkeepers: Sasha, Liam, Moira, Louie, Sam and Brennivin. Just dress up like them, take a photo and send it to us-- we'll decide who best rocks the look and award some awesome prizes.

If this ain't your first rodeo, you may want to bite off a gnarlier challenge: the S-Rank level yields greater rewards, but you'll have to take on the near-impossible task of dressing up like Cresento or Sentinel, two of our most elaborately costumed characters.

But what if you're dying to dress up like Meredith, Faunzy, Ricky Baudelaire or the Bape Cow? There's also an "open category," which lets you dress like a lesser-known Gaia NPC-- make sure it's a true Gaia character, though, because we'll disqualify any "hey, I'm dressed like my avatar!" submissions.

For the full contest rules and submission info, visit the cosplay contest homepage!



Just to clarify, for those who hate reading: You gotta dress up like the characters in real life. This isn't an avatar dress-up contest! But if you're too shy for all this, we're also releasing some cute new Gold Shop items that lets you dress up like your favorite NPCs in the utopian cyber-realm of virtual Infobahn cyberspace:
