If you’ve missed showing off your wonderful cosplay creations in person just as much as we’ve missed seeing them, then you’re in luck! Head over to ReedPop’s Discord server for a whole host of cosplay-focused activities to get your teeth into, whether you want to learn new techniques, show off your quarantine builds, or simply admire cosplayers’ work. It’s the closest thing you’ll get to the show floor right now!

Strut your stuff, virtually, take part in a casual cosplay showcase, post your pics, and heart-react to your favs in the chat. Look out for some of best-loved fandoms in the main Metaverse panel schedule and head to Discord afterwards to share your cosplays of your D&D characters, The Boys, Doctor Who, Steven Universe, and more!

There will be lots happening over NYCC x MCM Metaverse weekend so take a look at all the schedule below. Head to the ReedPop Discord server and select the "cosplay showcase" channel to join in!
