ACen 2025 Cosplay Gallery

The Anime Central Convention is one of the biggest conventions for cosplay in the midwest. Whether you’re into anime or not, this is where you go to show off your hard work in the cosplay space. With people coming from all over the Midwest, there were dozens of entries into the ACen Masquerade Cosplay Contest, as well as on full display walking the show floor. It’s also one of the biggest gatherings of photographers and videographers, ready and willing to do a photoshoot of you decked out in your best heroic outfits. Three days of costumes, glamour, blood, sweat, tears, and everything else you can craft from foam and hot glue. 

Here are some of the best we saw walking the show floor at ACen 2025!
