About this Cosplayer:
My name is Suvi, and I have been doing sewing, alterations, and costume design since I was 13, and I am entirely self-taught. I helped found the Colorado Academy for Cosplay in 2017 to help other cosplayers get their start and improve their skills. I started cosplaying about 10 years ago and have won many awards for craftsmanship at major conventions. I create costumes out of unusual materials and use unusual methods. I am a jack of all trades.

About this cosplayer:
Hello everyone! I’m Trinity Renee and I’ve been blessed to be welcomed into the Colorado Cosplay Community since 2009. I’ve been cosplaying since 2003 and started competing in 2010. Since then, I’ve won 7 awards and have been a Cosplay judge for 4 years. I firmly believe that cosplay is for everyone no matter what skill you have and that anyone can cosplay. Outside of cosplay, I’m currently working on my second college degree with the intention of going to law school.

About this Cosplayer:
My name is Elena and I have been cosplaying since 2010. When it comes to cosplay I am definitely a jack of all trades but master of none. I prefer thrift shop creations and prop building since I am a menace when it comes to breaking sewing machines. All of my cosplays are made with a large dash of procrastination, usually with the help of my addiction to League of Legends. Since the founding of the CAC, I graduated from the Colorado School of Mines and am currently living in Minnesota.

About this Cosplayer:
My name is Chris and I’m a Colorado native. I was born and raised in Boulder but went to CSU (go Rams). I’ve been cosplaying since 2016. I got into cosplay after seeing full body armor at a con and I dove in head first. My medium of choice is EVA and XPS foam. My typical style is from scratch, by hand, and to the smallest detail. I've competed in various contests and won multiple awards, including two best in shows, and I continue to put on educational panels and workshops at local con. I'm constantly striving to push the limits of my abilities in my cosplays, never settling in a comfort zone.
