Here are details about the 2021 Baltimore Comic-Con Costume Contest…

Hard Rock Cafe BaltimoreThe Baltimore Comic-Con and Hard Rock Cafe Baltimore are happy to announce the winners of our 12th Annual Costume Contest.

The contest took place on Saturday, October 23, 2021 for both amateur and professional adults, and Sunday, October 24, 2021 for kids. Visually stunning costumes ranged from classic superheroes to video game and movie characters and beyond, and our contest has proven to be one of the most anticipated events at the show, for cosplayers and fans alike. We were thrilled to welcome Hard Rock Cafe Baltimore as our 2021 Costume Contest sponsor, bringing an internationally recognized pop culture brand and destination in as a partner to one of the show’s premiere events.

This year’s costume contest separated amateur adults from professional adults, and held a separate contest for amateur kids as well.

The grand prize winner for Best in Show Costume, and the recipient of the $1,000 cash prize, was Aziz Raad for his “Din Djarin” costume.

Special thanks go to everyone who entered the contest and showed their support, as well as to our sponsor, Hard Rock Cafe Baltimore!
