The organizers from Connichi were kind enough to provide us with some images of the convention in Germany, below are a few of them.

Here is a shot of the stage where the the performances took place, before the event there was a video presentation of the WCS event. In this image you can see Sonya and Renee from the USA 2008. You can see some of the large crowd watching the event in the foreground.

Here is a shot of one of the teams up on stage for the preliminaries. You can see the WCS image on the screen in the background.

This is a group shot of all of the teams that participated in the preliminaries, you can see Annabell and Iris - winners and WCS Germany 2009 representatives - on the far left.

This is a WCS information booth at the Connichi event, Anna Degenhard from WCS 2007 is taking care of the booth here.

Here is a great picture of the cosplay area, lots of people dressed up, great weather and lush green trees in the background.

A great number of past WCS participants were at the event, above is a picture of Katharina Oberender and Anna Degenhard from Germany 2007 and Daniela Gildenpfennig from Germany 2006.
