Riot Games has officially announced the arrival of the Cosplay Grand Tour by Riot Games 2024, an initiative that aims to involve the community of Italian cosplayers and fans of Riot games. The tour, one of a kind, includes several stops in the major Italian festivals dedicated to pop culture, each with a specific theme which, however, will not limit the freedom of the participants in choosing their costumes. Participation in the tour is completely free and open to all. All cosplay categories linked to the world of Riot Games will be accepted, including the “Original” ones, which allow participants to reinterpret Riot characters in a personal way. Additionally, alternate skins of popular characters from games like League of Legends and Valorant will also be allowed. To participate, it is necessary pre-register online and then confirm your registration directly on site at the event.
A novelty is the presence of Taryn as tour ambassador. Taryn is an internationally renowned cosplayer known for her closeness to the Riot Games universe. The different stages of the tour will be coordinated by CLIC – Community of League of Legends Italian Cosplayers – and presented by Icon Stitch, a well-known professional cosplayer and creative mind behind this project. The jury for each stage of the Grand Tour will be made up of prominent personalities from the world of Riot Games and professional cosplayers. Entrants will be judged in several categories, including Best Performance, Best Armor/Prop, Best Tailoring, Community Award and Best Overall Costume. The winner of the best costume of each stage will enter the final to be held at Lucca Comics & Games, where she will have to present an original costume inspired by Arcane, the TV series based on League of Legends. Winners will receive professional photos and exclusive prizes from Riot Games.
The tour will begin on April 28, 2024 at the Napoli Comicon, an event that attracts over 150,000 visitors every year. The event will be held at the Music Dojo from 1.30pm to 3pm, and pre-registration must be confirmed on the morning of the event. The theme of the first appointment will be Clove, the latest Scottish agent introduced in Valorant. The jury will be composed of Miss Kuruta, Maki Eraclea and Valery.606. After Naples, the tour will continue its march through Italy, touching major festivals such as Falcomics, Etna Comics and Riminicomix, to end with the 2024 edition of Lucca Comics & Games.
