The event will feature a live cosplay competition and an online masterclass.
Domain Entertainment and Panache Middle East, the creators of Comic Con Arabia in Riyadh, have joined forces to bring the pop culture event to the UAE.
The eComic Con Live, which will take place virtually from July 3, will feature a live Cosplay Competition where cosplayers will get the chance to show off their costumes during a livestream. A ream of celebrity judges from all around the globe will be choosing a winner with cash prizes on offer.
The celebrity judges will include premiere cosplayers Michael ‘Knightmage’ Wilson, and Cavin Lam, known for his realistic Spider-Man cosplay costumes who will also be hosting an online masterclass to be held on June 12, at 6 pm (UAE).
Commenting on the virtual comic con, Arafaat Ali Khan, co-founder of the region’s premier pop culture event, Middle East Film and Comic Con and current MD of Domain Entertainment said: “The idea behind eComic Con Live is to bring as many elements of what people love about Comic Cons to an online, virtual space. From artist workshops to celebrity panels, eventually to merchandise and performances, nothing is off the table.”
