Our talented craftsmanship competitors deserve to be evaluated by judges who have the knowledge, skill, and experience necessary to properly appraise their cosplay creations. JAFAX's team of cosplay judges are selected for their personal experience as cosplay craftsmanship competitors, their experience as craftsmanship judges, and their history as established cosplay guests. Interested in being a JAFAX 2026 cosplay judge? Applications will open in January 2026; check back here or on our social media!
