Listen up people of Johor! If you are a cosplayer, or inspired to be one (heh), mark you calendar because the first ever Asia Cosplay Meet (Malaysia) will be held in City Square Johor Bahru on Sunday, June 6, 2010.

For those who doesn't know what cosplay is, it is where you got to be the character that you are always fond of. You get to wear their costume and act like them. Cosplay is famous among anime, manga and role-playing games (RPG) fans.

The cosplay culture might be relatively new for Johorean and JOHO lovers but it is quite popular in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur where they will held regular meetings between cosplayers and photographers for photoshoot, or attend conventions such as the Games Anime Comic Circle (GACC), Anime Festival Asia and Asia Cosplay Meet itself.

You will get the chance to see the best cosplayers from Korea, Phillipines, Singapore and Malasia coming together to compete for the Number One Asia Cosplayer at the Asia Cosplay Meet on Sunday. The top 3 winners from ACM(Malaysia) will represent Malaysia to attend the Asia Cosplay Meet Final rounds in Singapore at 4th July 2010. Then the top 3 winners will be in Singapore from 1st July 2010 – 5th July 2010 for the Asia Cosplay Meet Championship, all travel and accommodation expenses will be paid for.
