SM Cinema's Resident Evil Cosplay Competition


SM Cinema will be having a Resident Evil Cosplay Competition on September 18, 2010 at the Cinema lobby of SM North EDSA. join and get a chance to win an ASUS laptop and cash prizes.

This contest is open to all those interested in attending the event.

I wish I could try my luck in a cosplay competition, but due to time constraints, I won't be able to. If I were to join, I really wish I had the time to build one of the most badass characters of the video game...

Nemesis from the Resident Evil 3: Nemesis video game

If done correctly, which translates to doing every detail including the heavy machine gun, this badass can definitely WOW the judges. Also, in my opinion, Resident Evil 3 is one of the best (if not the best) sequel of the Resident Evil series. This character is also one of the most memorable.

You may pre-register by calling up the numbers listed below, or you may register on the Cosplay competition date. There is no limit to the number of participants in this event.

To know more about the cosplay competition, visit the SM Cinema Facebook page or the SM Cinema website. For more inquiries and/or pre-register, you may contact 09157976766 or 09158803315.

----------------------------------------

Personal notes:
a) Since this is an international photo contest, expect a competitive level of entries.

b) There is online voting which is 50% of the contest criteria. The other 50% will be determined by the judges (HK Tourism Board). Aside from your photo submission, in my opinion, the judges might also consider your answer to the question... "Why you want to go to Hong Kong?"

c) You have to be a member of the Animax Asia online community to submit your entry. Log-in to submit your entry. If you are not yet a member, register first. Joining is free-of-charge. Click here to register...

d) deadline for submission of photos has some conflicting dates - the main page says deadline is on September 15, 2010 but the contest rules say it's on September 24, 2010. I suggest you prepare your entry on or before September 15 to be sure.

For more information about this contest, you may visit the Animax contest page, or you may e-mail them at feedback[at]axn-asia.com for inquiries.

My entry won the Mapanghingi ka Ba Giveaway contest! This is the photo I submitted for the contest and the caption...

This is a photo of me and my dad on my 2nd birthday. Reminiscing this happy moment made me feel like we celebrated it yesterday. Hope we have many more birthdays to come...
