The performance stage and the backstage area of the Main Auditorium are at floor level. The stage can be accessed step-free via the backstage area, from the side of the stage. You can view the measurements and shape of the stage on the floor plan, which is included in the technical instructions. The backstage area is reserved only to the contestants of each competition day, and the event organizers. There are several changing rooms in the area, as well as separate mirrors, a water table, juice, and small sweet and salty snacks. The contestants will get backstage passes that will grant them access to the backstage area.

You can also access the audience seats of the Main Auditorium via the backstage area. There are seats reserved for the cosplay contestants. They can be accessed by the contestants of the day with their names.

You can apply for all the competitions via an online form, which will open on June 1 at 18:00. To fill in the form, you need a Kompassi account. You can only apply for a competition via the form specified by the organizer.

Contestants for the Aurora Cosplay Tournament preliminary, the Nordic Cosplay Championship preliminary, and the Cosplay Performance Competition, will be selected based on applications. Contestants for the Group Costume Competition will be selected in application order. Regarding the Photoshoot Competition and the Cosplay Video Competition, if there are more applicants than what can be accommodated in the final, there will be a preliminary selection round.

Contestants selected for the Aurora Cosplay Tournament and the Nordic Cosplay Championship preliminaries will get weekend ticket wristbands to the event.

Performance Competition contestants, Group Costume Competition contestants, and assistants of ACT/NCC contestants have the right to a day ticket wristband for the day of their respective competitions. While the day event wristband is only valid for that day, you can upgrade it to a weekend ticket wristband for a fee.

In addition to the ticket wristbands, the contestants will get backstage passes, which will only grant entrance to the backstage area and changing rooms of the Main Auditorium. The benefits are personal, and cannot be transferred to others. More specific instructions, the price of the upgrade, and further information will be sent to selected contestants before the event.

Photoshoot Contest and Cosplay Video Contest participants must purchase tickets for the event themselves. However, they will also be given backstage passes for the event.

Personal information of the participants will only be processed by the Cosplay Managers and the Main Auditorium Production Team of Tracon. In the competitions, the participants’ names or usernames will be announced according to their choices, as well as the information on the characters and shows.

The information will be processed according to the Data Protection Principles of Tracon. https://ry.tracon.fi/tietosuoja/rekisteriselosteet
