What it takes to be a Champion
INSPIRY X uses a fair, easy-to-understand system to judge cosplay design and craftsmanship. Top entries move on to the final showcase, where originality and story take center stage. Feedback from top competitors helps shape future judging, making the system stronger with every event.
The INSPIRY X BluePrint proves you made your cosplay and have the skills to go pro. It includes your process, photos, and character story in one clear portfolio. For BETA, a simple build book is fine—full BluePrints come later.
