PRETENDERS COSPLAY PARADE
TFNation 2025
ClubCon
Saturday 9th August 2025
It's that time again! Applications for our annual Pretenders Cosplay Parade are now open!
The Pretenders Cosplay Parade is always a hugely memorable part of the convention - we love seeing your creativity! So, whether you're building a complete mech rig, or want to show your style with a humanised entry, we'd love to hear from you!
Owing to capacity and safety reasons, we're unable to accept on-the-day entries, so please be sure to submit your application on our website. You'll have until 6pm (BST) on Sunday 29th June 2025 to apply!
Out of fairness to all everybody, we'll wait for 14 days after applications close before we start to review applications.
In the event that we receive more applications than we can accommodate, TFNation staff will make a decision as to which applicants will be chosen this time. (Of course, everybody is very welcome to cosplay around the convention halls too, provided your costume is safe)
If taking part isn't your thing, that's no problem! You can still watch the Pretenders Cosplay Parade in full and support TFN's talented cosplay community, during Saturday Night ClubCon! Our evening entertainment segment is always one of the highlights of TFNation, and the much-anticipated Pretenders Cosplay Parade is no small part of that!
Remember - Cosplay hides the human inside!
(Pre-Registration required. Pretenders Cosplay Parade is subject to a capacity limit. All schedule items and times are subject to change. All panel rooms are subject to capacity limits. Terms and Conditions of sale apply on this small world and all others, whether or not carbon-based)
