The contest, which launched October 22 and invited cosplay enthusiasts to dress up as their favorite film, TV, comic book/graphic novel, cartoon, book, etc. character, will now open up Public Voting until November 12 to determine the ultimate Cosplay Challenge winner.

Mr. Skin finalists’ entries will be uploaded to MrSkin/MrMan, and registered users can view and vote for their favorite finalists. Limit one (1) vote per person and per email address during the Public Voting Period. The Mr. Skin Cosplay Challenge $1,000 winner will be announced November 15.

“After two weeks and many AMAZING entries, we were absolutely blown away by the unbelievable creativity in the costumes,” said a Mr. Skin company representative. “We judged on the basis of costume craftsmanship, originality and the overall look. Now it’s up to the public to make the $1,000 decision. Good luck!”
