Description of Pictures: Baltimore Comic-Con Cosplay Craftsmanship Contests
Our “Costume Contest” events have been expanded to create the Cosplay Showcase and the Cosplay Craftsmanship Contests
The Baltimore Comic-Con and the Hard Rock Cafe Baltimore have once again joined forces to proudly present the 2022 Annual Costume Craftsmanship Contest. We are thrilled to welcome back Hard Rock Cafe Baltimore as our 2022 Costume Craftsmanship Contest sponsor, bringing back the internationally-recognized pop cultural brand and destination as the partner for one of the convention’s premier events. ...
“We’ve slightly revamped the costume events for 2022, but we’re very excited about it,” said Carrie Wood, returning judge for the Baltimore Comic-Con costume contest. “We learned a lot last year about what cosplayers really want out of a contest like this, so you may notice we’ve changed things up a bit by adding new subcategories in our Adult contest. We hope that this is a move that better reflects the current cosplay community and provides more opportunities for success.” ...
“I’m personally very excited about the addition of the Cosplay Showcase event. We noticed a lot of folks last year were entering the costume contest with store-bought costumes and really just wanted a moment to shine on stage – and we want to encourage that,” Wood said. “But at the same time, having the separation between a craftsmanship competition and a showcase benefits everyone, and allows everyone a little more time to shine. That’s why we rebranded this year’s contest to the Costume Craftsmanship Contest and added the Cosplay Showcase.”

This year’s contest is once again being headed up by Carrie Wood, who will be joined at the judging table by ChibiTifa and Amanda Cadavid.
Carrie Wood brings with her 20 years of cosplay experience to the judges’ table, having attended her first convention in 2002. A veteran of the mid-Atlantic convention scene, she has cosplayed dozens of characters from comics, anime, video games, and more, and has previously helped run contests at other local events. In 2015, she merged cosplay with her day job when she penned The Overstreet Guide to Cosplay for Gemstone Publishing, a book that provided an insider’s view of the hobby. Outside of cosplay, she’s active in the local video game music scene as member of the band Quick Save. As Baltimore native, she looks forward to bringing her unique perspective on cosplay back to this year’s event.
ChibiTifa is a cosplayer and seamstress from Maryland who has been in the hobby for more than 15 years. She has made a vast array of costumes and has been a cosplay craftsmanship judge at several conventions across the country. As part of Team Stellar Rose, she was chosen to represent the United States as Team USA 2021 at the World Cosplay Summit. She makes it her mission to make the cosplay world more welcoming and diverse to all newcomers.
Amanda Cadavid, also known as Bluucircles, hails from New York City and has nearly two decades of cosplaying under her belt. Starting by hand-sewing her first costume in 2003, she’s taught herself as many techniques as she’s had time to learn, and has made everything from ballgowns to bodysuits. In addition to her personal cosplay work, she has taken on a number of outside commissions as well, and always enjoys the satisfaction of seeing someone feel their best in their new costume. She’s more than happy to share crafting tips, tricks, and advice – but she’ll be just as glad to talk your ear off about her favorite video games!

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
