The largest cons in the nation, including Megacon Orlando and Dragon Con in Atlanta, as well as larger Florida conventions, like Tampa Bay Comic Convention and Florida Supercon, have recognized @Avera_Cosplay’s extraordinary cosplay.
For example, she recently won the Cosplay Central Crown Championship at Florida Supercon, making her the representative from the South in the national cosplay competition. She will meet the three other winners from the East, West and Midwest at the national finals in Chicago at C2E2 in March 2022. And that winner will go on to the world championships in London MCM.
