A little over a month has passed since the final championship for WCS 2006 and already the preliminary competitions for 2007 have begun. Connichi was held in Kassel, Germany this year from September 15th - 17th.
In fact the representatives have already been determined, congratulations to Katrina Overender and Anna Degenhart!

Next up is Romics on the 5th to 8th of October in Rome, Italy.  Both Romics and Connichi have been supporting the WCS event since its inception and the preliminary event at Rome last year was quite a spectacle, being held in a large auditorium. Looking forward to seeing how things turn out this year, good luck everyone!

At the end of October a third preliminary round will be held in Barcalona, Spain with the support of Ficomic. The "XII Salon del Manga" will take place between the 27th and 29th of October and spirited performances can be expected from the cosplayers again this year.

You will see full reports on each event on the new WCS 2007 home page in the coming months.  In the meantime, I will try to provide you with information when it becomes available through the blog too!
