Audiences have many ways to engage with the media from simply watching film and TV shows to emulating the characters. Cosplay has become an important form of entertainment and self-expression and our members are delighted to see their design have a powerful life of its own beyond the screen. Every year, our designers keep a lookout for outstanding amateur costuming and cosplay, handing out our coveted blue rosettes to recognize the best examples. Winners are shared on CDG social media.

The CDG is proud to serve as official judges for SDCC’s annual talent show, the Comic-Con Masquerade. This prestigious amateur costume competition has competitors from all around the world competing with unique creations. We are also delighted to give an award from our Guild for the costumes we find the most spectacular.

BEST COSTUME:

The Costume Designers Guild, IATSE Local 892, will be presenting Best Costume entry with a trophy designed by CDG illustrator Felipe Sanchez and created by Lucid Studios Specialty Costume Fabrication Character FX Rentals in Burbank California and a $500 gift certificate from International Silks and Woolens in Los Angeles. The CDG is a labor union representing costume designers, assistant costume designers, and costume illustrators working in motion pictures, TV, commercials, music videos, and new media.

BEST SCI-FI COSTUME:

In honor of the late Costume Designer Guild member Shawna Trpcic, whose work was one of the founding designs in the Star Wars television world for Disney, the CDG has proudly created an award that will live on in her memory at San Diego Comic-Con’s Masquerade – Best Sci-Fi Costume. We hope this will serve as a lasting tribute to her excellence in costume design and her personal commitment to Comic-Con. In addition to the award, the winner will also receive a gift bag courtesy of The Product Agent worth over $500.
