They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If so, we took like a hundred thousand words worth of pictures at Nan Desu Kan (NDK) this year just trying to get the perfect photo to display the awe inspiring cosplays.

The judges had their work cut out for them. Every cosplay was hand-made and the details and care that went into creating each one made this a must see event. There were choreographed dances, costumes that changed mid spin, death-defying moments, and even a hand-made puppet.

Fans even got to vote their favorite. Here are some of our best pictures we took from the NDK Cosplay Contest. Which one would you vote for?

You can see video of the entire event and a list of winners here.

You can see who won all the different categories on NDK’s Facebook page:

Congratulations to everyone who won, and congratulations to everyone who didn’t win as well. The talent and hard work on display is truly inspirational.
