Starting in 2003 with only a handful of countries, it has since grown to include over 35 countries from all over the world. Otakuthon brought WCS to Canada in 2014, allowing for Canadian cosplayers to shine on an international stage. ## World Cosplay Summit Canadian Preliminaries  The [World Cosplay Championship](https://worldcosplaysummit.jp/en/championship/) is the core event at the World Cosplay Summit. Cosplayer teams from around the world compete on stage in 2.5 minutes performances in costumes that they created themselves. Canada first participated in the World Cosplay Championship in 2015 as an observer nation and competed for the first time in 2016. The winners of the World Cosplay Summit Canadian Preliminaries at Otakuthon 2024 will go on to represent Canadian cosplay and compete against teams from around the world for the chance at the title of Grand Champion at the 2025 World Cosplay Summit in Japan! Please see the full rules for the [World Cosplay Summit Canadian Preliminaries](https://www.otakuthon.com/2024/events/world_cosplay_summit/world_cosplay_summit_canadian_preliminaries) for information on how to participate. ## World Cinematic Cosplay Summit Canadian Preliminaries  After the success of the World Cosplay Summit Video Division in 2021 and 2022, the [World Cosplay Summit](https://www.worldcosplaysummit.jp/wccs/) has decided to bring it back as its own unique contest—World Cinematic Cosplay Summit—and Canada has joined in on the fun. The focus of WCCS is storytelling, showcased in the form of cinematic video productions. The Canadian Preliminaries for the World Cinematic Cosplay Summit will be held online in April 2024, with the winning team going on to represent Canada at the World Cinematic Cosplay Summit, live streamed in May 2024. Please see the full rules for the [World Cinematic Cosplay Summit Canadian Preliminaries](https://www.otakuthon.com/2024/events/world_cosplay_summit/world_cinematic_cosplay_summit_canadian_preliminaries) for information on how to participate.
