Elegance Cosplays

23/11/2023

Our cosplay sponsorship program is just a small fraction of what we do. Sponsorships are given to address external needs.

The bulk of our work is on advocacy, mentoring, and training, which address what truly matters in and out of cosplay.

Last year, in August and September, we launched our regular ticket g1v3away and "Ticket Sponsorship Premium" programs. In response to evolving practices among major cosplay event organizers and the increase in ticket prices for some events, we have decided to reallocate our resources towards offering delightful treats and assistance packages exclusively for chosen cosplayers.

When that happens, we will have access to more resources for outreach and sponsorship programs. If we achieve it by December 2023, we will have a special g1v3away.

14/08/2023

What if we add "having no t0x1c coscomm tea for the past year" as a criterion for cosplan sponsorships?

11/08/2023

How do you cope with attending conventions that are scheduled near so-called "fechas de peligros"? 📉💸

10/08/2023

There are photographers who cover not just major life events (e.g. birthdays, weddings, reunions, etc.), but also cosplay conventions. Some of them offer affordable rates for a set amount of time. Others offer free shots, with an option to donate any amount.

What has value is worth paying for, especially for photos that show those memorable events and glamorous fashion.

When cosplay photographers offer affordable rates, try to give them a tip. If it's a free photo shoot on a donation basis, be gracious to the photographer when it comes to donations and promotions.

Never let the financial details blind you to how people would perceive you. Establish positive and harmonious relationships, especially when working with digital creators.

After all, wouldn't it be great to be remembered as a gracious client?

To all my Facebook friends who are planning to celebrate important events like debut, weddings, birthdays, etc. and would wish to have these special events documented:

Please po, wag ninyong i-TY lang or baratin ang friends ninyo na photographers whether amateur sila or pro. And if you plan to use these arguments, wag na po.

BARAT LINES:
1. Barkada naman kita. Libre na lang ang shoot. Thanks!
2. Ako na bahala sa food. Bubusugin kita 😅😅
3. Ang mahal naman pre! Pwede 500 lang? Presyong barkada lang pls! Sige na pre, idol kita tlga.

Why should you not do these to them lalo na kung skilled diba? Here are my arguments in behalf of my photographer friends who are enthusiasts and pros:
1. It is an INSULT to their skill.
2. You ask for their time. And time is PRICELESS!
3. Shooting and covering events are VERY TIRING. You try roaming around and responding to people's photo opp requests with a camera with you. Do that for a number of hours. That is very taxing.
4. Photographers do post-processing. That also takes time. Spending hours or days to edit.
5. CAMERAS, like cars, have life expectancy too. They don't and won't last forever.
6. PHOTOGRAPHY IS EXPENSIVE. THE GEARS ARE EXPENSIVE. Even the entry-level cameras (beginner cameras) are very expensive. Some lenses are even more expensive than a second-hand car. These people invest a lot of money to their passion and yet you are asking for a free shoot?

It is like you are demanding the bakeshop for a cake yet you only paid for a muffin. 🤔😂

Be human. Be sensitive. Pay what is due. If not, then go for cellphone photography.

This is for awareness. This is not meant to offend anyone, not even to serve as a cheap shot or indirect assault.

What's that thing or experience that was/is so great that you're enthusiastic about sharing it with others?

07/08/2023

We would like to thank OtaCute Event DAO and Exosia Project for organizing another memorable event. It was also good to see Binance join in the list of sponsors. We look forward to more events like this.

We would also like to thank the attendees who went to our booth, those who took photos with our staff, those who availed our consulting services, and those who donated to our outreach fund.

06/08/2023

We're now at the OtaCute Event DAO Cosplay Festival. As the first cosplay-related non-profit to adopt the use of cryptocurrency, we support this endeavor.

We will be giving away Cosplay Tokens within the next quarter. If you have a QR code of your COT wallet, post it on your timeline (set to Public), tag three friends and our Page, and use the hashtag . We will be choosing two winners per month.

06/08/2023

What if we give away Cosplay Token (COT) on the 4th quarter of 2023?

Q: You have been talking about your goal of surpassing 10k f0ll0w3rs lately. Why is there a need to reach that goal?

==========

A: As we have posted before, and also mentioned in the chairman's FB live sessions, we have accepted a challenge from some Board members and private sponsors, that once we surpass 10k f0ll0w3rs, more resources will be made available for our outreach and sponsorship programs.

The funds that are allocated per quarter for our sponsorship programs are scaled off based on f0ll0w3r count and other multipliers (just like some game effects are based on max HP, Elemental Mastery, and other stats). Once we surpass 10k, more resources can be provided for our projects, and more cosplayers and events can be given assistance.

We would like to reach that goal, not to have something to boast about, but for something that can actually help cosplayers achieve their cosplay goals.

03/08/2023

It takes a few clicks, a few minutes, and no monetary cost to help us reach more rising star cosplayers.

02/08/2023

We shall soon reveal the g1v3away, which can be useful in the August Tanabata event.

02/08/2023

That full cosplan can become real. 👍❤️🗨🔁📈

01/08/2023

What contests would you like to have on this Page?

31/07/2023

Yes we do. Are you with us?

30/07/2023

Who among you would want the chairman to do a talk on the matters of the heart?

28/07/2023

Our "Thousand Blossoms Project" has been started. 🌸

What if we do an Elegant Genshin Impact character tier list?

Who's aiming for a full cosplan sponsorship by year's end?

26/07/2023

It's kinda amusing that some cosplays of animé characters are mistaken for game characters. Even one of our in-house talents was not immune to it.
