PBB Teen Big winner and cosplayer Myrtle Sarrosa will be one of the judges for this years competition. According to her, cos playing is different from simply wearing a costume.
“The difference is learning the character by heart. It’s different, e, kasi dapat alamin mo paano gumalaw ‘yong character mo, dapat alam mo how he reacts to certain things, at saka dapat alam mo rin kung paano siya ike-carry onstage,” she said.
The said competition will be having 3 categories. Specifically, they are:
- Kids Squad
- League of Heroes &
- Face Off Category
They will be judged through this criteria:
- costume- 40%
- performance- 40%
- fidelity to the original character- 20%
According to Myrtle, the best criteria of all is the performance.
She also said to those who want to join the said competition to have costumes which are hand-made so that it can add a little challenge to the cos players.
Great prizes are really at stake. Don’t miss the opportunity.
