Cosplay GUEST MAKER

Thank you for your interest in being a Cosplay Guest Maker (CGM) at Rhode Island Comic Con (RICC) 2026! As a CGM you will not only be a Cosplay Guest for RICC 2026, but also share your mastery of a selected cosplay skill with those attending RICC 2026.

A cosplay skill could be foamsmithing, sewing, wig, work, makeup, electronics, posing, stage performance, working with thermoplastics or puppetry. Basically, any skill used for cosplaying. If you are a master in a cosplay skill, we would love to have you show off that cosplay skill at your table and host a workshop where you will be able to share your skill to those attending.

Please take a moment to review the following CGM Guidelines, Expectations and Compensation before submitting your application.
