ABOUT
We want to save the "World Cosplay Summit", the largest cosplay festival in the world with 18 years of history
The "World Cosplay Summit" (abbreviated as WCS) is the largest cosplay festival in the world, which started in 2003 in Nagoya, and is celebrating its 18th edition this summer.
"World Cosplay Summit" (abreviada como WCS) es el festival de cosplay más grande del mundo, el cual inició en 2003 en Nagoya, y celebra su 18ª edición este verano.
Right now it is an international event with the attendance of more than 300,000 participants from 40 countries and regions. However, the continuity of the 18 years of history of the World Cosplay Summit is in danger due to the effect of the coronavirus crisis.
The sponsors that had been supporting the WCS until now are also suffering the fatal consequences of the coronavirus one after each other. (Most of them are airlines or companies in the tourism industry)
In 2020, the actual event had to be cancelled. If nothing is done, very probably it won't be possible to celebrate the event again.
En la actualidad, es un evento internacional con la asistencia de más de 300,000 participantes de 40 países y regiones. Sin embargo, la continuidad de los 18 años de historia de World Cosplay Summit está en peligro debido al efecto de la crisis del coronavirus.
Los patrocinadores que habían estado apoyando a WCS hasta ahora también están sufriendo las consecuencias fatales del coronavirus, uno tras otro. (La mayoría de ellos son aerolíneas o empresas de la industria del turismo)
En 2020, el evento tuvo que ser cancelado. Si no se hace nada, muy probablemente no sea posible volver a celebrar el evento.
If nothing is done, the WCS will disappear. . .
However, there are many cosplayers all around the world who love the WCS and keep waiting for the celebration of a new edition every year. This is why we have decided to carry out a crowdfunding to ensure the continuity of the event from 2021 onwards.
Si no se hace nada, WCS desaparecerá. . .
Sin embargo, hay muchos cosplayers en todo el mundo que aman WCS y siguen esperando la celebración de una nueva edición cada año. Es por eso que hemos decidido llevar a cabo una campaña de crowdfunding (financiamiento colectivo) para garantizar la continuidad del evento desde 2021 en adelante.
