Color Unleashed
This category is all about masterful use of color in cosplay photography. It honors images where color is the star. Whether through vibrant palettes, striking contrasts, or harmonious tones that enhance the character and mood. Showcase your command of color theory and grading.
Category Rules
- Color must be a deliberate, central creative decision — not merely a result of the costume, props, or set.
- Selective color techniques (black-and-white with isolated color accents) are not permitted.
