Press Coverage Application

World Cosplay Summit 2025 offers three types of media application categories for press and media representatives who wish to cover the event.
Please choose the appropriate category based on your intended coverage.
All applications are subject to review. Passes will be distributed at the on-site reception.

【About Our Press Coverage Policy】

To ensure fair and smooth media coverage, the World Cosplay Summit reviews all press applications based on the following policy:
■ Priority will be given to:

• Accredited news organizations such as newspapers, television, and radio
• Magazines and news media with an established editorial team
• Media outlets with a strong public interest or journalistic focus

■ Example criteria for review:

• Clear indication of the company/media name and previous publication history
• A specific coverage plan and intended platform for publication
• Alignment with the goals and values of the event
• Not for personal or commercial promotional purposes

Please note:
For individuals wishing to film or livestream for personal social media or YouTube, a separate permission process or designated creator category may be required.
However, due to limited capacity, we may not be able to accommodate all requests.
Thank you for your understanding.
