Iris and Arttu who performed Esther Blanchett and Leon Garcia of Trinity Blood. Iris is quite serious about her cosplay and has poured a lot of her personal savings into making the approximately 21 costumes that she has to date. Arttu too was quite striking with his 190 cm stature and impressive outfit. Looking forward to seeing you next summer!

I was there too and the winners definitely were the best of the bunch. The event itself was well organized. There are many more photos (about 200!) of the Finnish preliminaries in Helsinki at the Finnish cosplayers site Aniki (http://kuvat.aniki.fi/index.php?cat=50).

Thank you, thank you, thank you kumachan! As this is the first year Finland is participating it is a little tough to get good information on the event, if you have and other info you can e-mail me or post it here.

Hi,
I saw that you have put a lot of photos from the Finnish preliminaries on your Japanese web site.
(Link: http://www.tv-aichi.co.jp/wcs/gallery/wcs2009_fin.html )
Will you make also a link to these photos on the English news page as well?
And best regards to all from Finland which is getting colder (but also sunnier) as winter gets nearer. Tomorrow morning's forecast for Helsinki calls for -1 C, so kumachan will have to start looking for a place to hibernate over the winter months... :)
