Applications for the May-August season are now closed. The next application period is Sept 1-7th. Please note in the interest of fairness any applications received while applications are closed will not be considered.
This sponsorship program is for everyone! Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned cosplayer, everyone is welcome to apply. There is no minimum number of social media followers required.
Our past cosplayers include:
Lossien, Rayslay Cosplay, Mutated_Monsterz, NikayaWayland, Dear Bambi Cos, S.paceyboy, Drop Pop Cosplay, Tealeaf Cats, Hellebore Cosplay, Slothcore Jen, Rae McClaire, NorskiAdam, Spidersgrim, Kokichi, Undead Cosplay, Aavocos , Laundry Cosplay, Hellebore Cosplay, KeyoZee, AZURIMI, Icysmash Cosplay, EhOkay Cosplay, Eri, Maricos,
How our sponsorship works:
Each cosplayer starts with 1 sponsored wig per season (January-April, May-August, September-December). We may upgrade the number of wigs per season for a cosplayer based on their contributions (including, but not limited to, custom coupon code usage, social media outreach, tutorials using our products, etc.).
Of our 5 slots each season, 3-4 will be open to cosplayers who have not been in our program before, and 1-2 will be open to cosplayers that have been in our program before. We will also not have any 1 cosplayer be in all 3 seasons a year. We do this to give the opportunity for more cosplayers to be able to participate.
Please note that we get a lot of applications each season, and as much as we wish we could accept everyone we sadly cannot. If you’d like to be considered for all seasons in a year, just mention that in your application and then you won’t have to apply again that year.
