Empcosique
Gambit's Gambit Award Winner
​
AJ's Comments: Boy this was hard. How does one choose between so many handsome Gambits! Well obviously you choose the Gambit who holds the most cards! The design of the outfit and amount of work that went into this makes this the clear winner. All Gambits are valid, but a Gambit wearing head-to-toe playing cards has the clear advantage.

Sisi Clark
Gambit's Chère Award Winner

AJ's Comments: Can I choose all Rogues? I choose all Rogues!
... No? I can't.
Damn. Well the Rogue who surprised me was BRP 13! The cleverness of putting those elements together + the fun photoshoot made them stand above the rest. I love the idea of a Cancan Rogue; it's not something I've seen before! Awesome work, chère.
Nick Snow and  Steven West
Best Angst (Couple) Award Winner

AJ's Comments: Well I was told ANGST was the key feature here and BCC1 has some real Edward / Bella angst. Plus I love all the handmade elements of the outfits and the amount of weathering put into the jacket!
Honorable Mention: Everyone who handmade elements of their cosplay! I spent way too much time zooming in on all the handmade Gambit Chest pieces and boots, light-up cards, savage-land Rogue spears and anything that looked like it took time to make. It will always be valid to buy a cosplay, but I'm just fascinated with how people make things and their own unique approach to crafting an element of a cosplay. 

Thank you for asking me to do this! Now never ask me to judge a bunch of Rogue and Gambits again! It hurts my heart. You are all perfect.  -AJ
