Queen City Anime Convention was held September 12th-14th in Concord, South Carolina. QCAC is a 3-day celebration of anime, gaming, cosplay, and fandom. Every year contestants from all around come to QCAC to compete in their cosplay contest and this year, The Cosplay Herald has the scoop on the winners!
The 2025 contest was judged by Foxarcada, Astral Pioneer, and Sarelcon.
