Dear Onmyoji,

What was it that got you hooked into the world of cosplay? Was it Onmyoji or an anime you love?

Do you remember the moments you prepared for the first Shikigami cos?

Or how about those anime/manga gatherings you've been going to?

To celebrate Onmyoji’s Global 1st Anniversary with our Onmyoji around the world, we're pleased to announce that we will be holding a #ShikigamiCosplay Contest during the anniversary period. Winners of the contest will receive official goods as a special prize, and all participants of the event will also have a chance to win in a lucky draw!

We believe this anniversary is not a mere celebration of the opening of our global server, but also of the wonderful community that has been growing and supporting us throughout this year. This is a celebration for all of us, and we are thrilled to receive your submissions regarding how this game has touched you and connected you with each other.

How To Win

The winners for this contest will be picked based on both a panel of NetEase judges and public voting. The top 15 selections will be selected by NetEase team for a second round of public voting on Gleam campaign page on 2019 Jan. 31st (EST).

The NetEase team will rank the participants based on the below criteria:

Quality

We favour handmade costumes over bought ones. If your costume is handmade, make sure to let us know how you made it, if not, try and put more emphasis on something you styled, like your wig or make-up.

Accuracy

We will be checking how faithful your costume, hair, make-up and props are to the character you’re cosplaying as. Please mention any variations or specific versions you took into account.

Effort

We will try and determine how hard each person had to work to complete his costume, find a rare prop, style the appropriate wig or do his/her make-up. 

In case of a tie, the NetEase team will decide the winner based on the criteria above. Winner announcement is expected to be on 2019 Feb. 9th (EST).

*Note: Top 15 selections and winner announcement might be postponed if there are too many entries.

Prize Pool

1. Participants who are selected into the top 15 will receive official Onmyoji gifts as rewards; the prizes differ depending on each one’s ranking.

2. Participants who join Onmyoji discord server during event period, share the event on each platform, or vote on the submissions will have a chance to win in the lucky draw.
