It was a tough decision for judges Yaya Han, Mads Five and Sameer Bundela but 2022 crown was claimed by the UK champion, Amazonian Cosplay, in her truly impressive Sansa Stark coronation dress from Game of Thrones. The breadth of techniques (including metal working) and stunning hand embroidery blew the judges away. Jack-of-All-Trades Vega representing the Baltic Nations took second place as a Human Ranger from Guild Wars 2, and third place was claimed by Opiekun from Poland with his costume of Geralt from the Witcher 3.
