Last year was NYAF's first year. Looking back, I think we had a pretty good show, and one of our highlights was definitely the World Cosplay Summit Masquerade. A lot of anime conventions have cosplay contests, but none have one like NYAF. The winners of last year's Masquerade -- Sonnya Paz and Renee Gloger -- were crowned Team USA and will be traveling to Japan at the end of July to compete against cosplayers from around the globe in the Olympics of Cosplay -- the World Cosplay Summit Finals.

This year's NYAF will be bigger and better, and I'm very happy to announce the World Cosplay Summit will be joining us again for an even more grandiose Masquerade, giving another team the chance to win a trip to Japan and represent the USA in an international cosplay competition!

This year's New York Anime Festival Masquerade takes pace September 27, 2008, and the clock is ticking. Get to work on your skits and costumes and register at newyorkanimefestival.com!
