CMV competition 2025

Kotae Expo’s program will feature a breathtaking CMV competition!

In the CMV competition, i.e. the cosplay music video competition, the participants compete solo or in groups for the best cosplay music video production. Music video priductions inspired by music and cosplay look for skills in scriptwriting, acting and videography as well as video editing. Competition is open for everyone. 

The winner of the competition is chosen by a pre-selected jury, who choose their favorites based on the set judging criteria. In addition to the judges, the audience gets to vote for their favorite music videos during the competition. The instructions for audience voting will be explained during the finals. The winners of the competition will be announced right after the finals.

There are no source restrictions for the material used in the video. The source used can be from any licensed work, for example series, movie, game or a book.

Registration for the competition opens on June 1. 2025 and closes on October 20. 2025.

In case there is a large number of participants, a pre-qualification will be organized if necessary. In the pre-qualification, the judges select the videos that will make it to the finals, which will be shown in the competition. The results of the qualification will be announced by e-mail no later than June 16. for all who have registered to the competition.

Competitors do not have to be present at Kotae Expo. You can participate in the competition even if you cannot attend the event yourself. The finalists of the competition are offered the opportunity to buy a normal price ticket to the event.
