Comets Cosplay at SUAAB Con

One of the biggest draws of this year's Comet Con was the two hour cosplay contest

Stunning, confident and bold, UTD students from all different walks of life participated in SUAAB’s entertaining cosplay competition on March 23.

The cosplay competition, which was only one of several different events featured during Comet Con—UTD’s take on Comic-Con— allowed Comets to bring or watch their favorite anime, video game or movie characters come to life. This event received a lot of engagement through both the participants and the live voting, where audience members got to vote for their favorite costumes and select winners from different categories.

Comet Con, which is one of SUAAB’s biggest annual events, was a day-long special that featured guest speakers, an artist alley meant to support small and upcoming artists, an esports competition, wand-making, pancake art and much more. The cosplay competition served as an opportunity for UTD students to embody their favorite piece of media and bond with others who also enjoy cosplay.

“I was surprised how mixed [the cosplay competition] was. There wasn’t just anime, there was ‘Kung Fu Panda’ Po and a few video game [characters] too, so I’m glad that they had a variety,” said Shohini Ghosh, a neuroscience sophomore who attended the competition.
