ICON Cosplay Photo Festival is a cosplay photography event inspired by events such as Wellington Cosplay Photo Fest in New Zealand, and European events such as Volta in Cosplay.
ICON pays homage to past cosplay and Japanese popular culture events held in Tasmania, while celebrating new and exciting inovations in cosplay and photography.
This event will take place on lutruwita (Tasmania) Aboriginal land, sea and waterways. We acknowledge, with deep respect the traditional owners of this land, the muwinina people.
