The preliminaries for Korea are taking place this weekend at Everland outside of Seoul. They are doing something interesting this year as the 2nd round of selections for Singapore will be held there as well. 6 teams have made the trip from Singapore and will be performing on the same stage as the teams competing for Korean representation. Singapore will have their finals in the upcoming weeks and as soon as I get pictures of the event I will post them here for you.

Two other finals are scheduled in the next few weeks: Thailand and China. With the civil unrest in Thailand however the preliminaries are in jeopardy we will have to wait and see if things settle down enough to hold them at the scheduled date. This is not really a time to be concerned about that however, above all we hope that everyone is alright and safe in Bangkok.

The China preliminary this year is scheduled for the weekend of June 5th and 6th. It will be held at the Japan Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo which is a return to the roots of the WCS. The World Cosplay Summit was initially created as a showcase event with an eye on the Aichi Expo held near Nagoya in 2005.

Lots coming up so keep checking back!
