Just to cosplay, check out the exhibition hall, hang out with friends and have fun!
My daughter and I drive by every year to check out the cosplay costumes around the convention center. We love the energy and creativity. This would be the best experience if we got to attend the convention! Fingers crossed!
I am a Stitcher. I learn by hands-on experiences. I need to touch things, feel things, look underneath at seams and stitch techniques, and talk to people about their stitching experiences. Online just isnt the same 😞
My daughter would LOVE it!
It’ll be my first ever con experience! I had a lot of fomo from other friends going to ones prior, but I’m excited to see what this will be like!
This would be my teens first con! She got into manga and anime recently and would love to go!
I’d love to see and participate in the extraordinary cosplays and events that pop up for sure, but also explore the variety of cultural exhibits and panels that make Kumoricon unique to the region! It would be amazing!
This year has been hard on mine and my best friend’s mental health, and we could use time away from from life and enjoy ourselves.
Love seeing the costumes, finding out about new stories and SNACKS. Plus need to have the good old pack mule to carry everything.
My teens would love this. It would be their first time!
this would be so fun i have wanted to go
I attended the first Kumori-con and attended 12 more after that. I struggled with funds and life and could no longer go, I would love tickets so I can attend once more, cosplay again, and experience the wonderful convention life that I see everyone doing that I miss out on due to financially struggling.
To see the cosplayers with my son, I love seeing peoples hard work on their costumes
Kumori-con was my first anime con as a youth, and my son is almost the age I was. I would absolutely love the chance to take him to the convention!
I’d love the opportunity to attend. Thank you!!
I’ve never attended a convention before but have been wanting too for years. I would love to experience this.
Just nice and friendly place to go geek with your friends and meeting new people
Would love to spend some time in this world!
Please pick me! I love anime. It will be so fun to experience.
I’ve never been, and it would be so much fun to check out! Great excuse to get my cosplay on
I love Portland Clouds and love anime. Hope it’s a wide variety and I would love to see all the cosplay! I’ve never been to one of these and have always wanted to go.
I always wanted to cosplay and attend a convention. I just started cosplaying this year and would love the chance to showcase my cosplay as well as meet other cosplayers and connect with the community! And of course support the local artists.
My daughter used to go to this and even volunteered on site to help with the cost. She misses it, but can’t afford it anymore. Winning tickets would be a real treat. If I win, she will get the tickets.
Fingers crossed. . .
Fun for my daughter.
It would be my first con, and my husband and I want to go for our first vacation in 3 years! I’ve been following Kumoricon for almost 7 years now waiting to go!
Would be great bonding for my daughter and I 🙂
This would be for my two step kids. The older is into anime and is creating his own piece. Looks awesome.
I’d like to take my daughter. She would have a great time!
I have arranged for students to attend but have yet to go myself other than to make sure they had everything needed to get in, lol. Also, any excuse to dust off my Apothecary Diaries costume is a good one!
Oh wow, I know just who I’d take to this event it sounds really cool. Thanks for the possibility!!
I’d love to visit Kumoricon and wear some Cosplay costumes! They always have great artists and authors here.
I’d be thrilled to walk through the KumoriMarket and silent auction. I’d love to browse around and pick up some really cool items.
My friend helps organize this con and has described a really wonderful and inclusive experience. I have never been, and the fact that this seems like a more accommodating event is such a draw for me. I would love to experience Kumoricon with my partner who has never been either. Anime convention folks are a safe community and I am grateful beyond words for the love shown by everyone.
This would rock my niece’s world to attend!
I would send my son and a friend. He has had a rough start to his first year of high school and this would be a nice treat.
I would love to go! I’ve seen a lot of cool costumes people have made to cosplay and it’d be neat to make a day surrounded by them while enjoying the con.
My 18-year-old son loves everything Japanese culture and is absolutely obsessed with anime. In 2024, he had a stroke and spent 13 months at Seattle Children’s Hospital. He now depends on a wheelchair and is living with end-stage kidney failure.My 16-year-old son also shares a love for anime, and it’s something the boys enjoy as brothers.
It would be such an incredible honor—and an especially fun surprise—for him to be able to attend. It would truly mean so much to him and our family.
Im new to portland and happy to see a Con so close by! I want to treat my brother to something nice and we go to cons together whenever money allows it. Im excited for when it comes around!
This would be so much fun!
I’ve only been once, but due to not having time, I haven’t been able to attend. Now that I have the time, money is very scarce at the moment, and I am unable to attend, but I would love the chance to get these tickets and enjoy the event.
I want to take my sister to her first ever anime convention! I wanted to hang out with her from out of town and have her experience what it’s like. Also, what to cosplay with her either matching pairs or just having fun with others!
I missed Comic Con, gotta lock this one in 🙂
Just started going to cons and I heard this is one of the bests in Portland and I’d love for a chance to experience it!
I would love to go to experience this event for the first time and I would take my daughter so that she could see all the cosplay and hopefully be inspired to continue to keep going
I’ve never been able to go to this convention. I would love to go and see some beautiful art and all the cool cosplay from some of my favorite anime over the years!
Thank you for the opportunity to enter for a chance to win. I try to give my daughter every cultural experience I can. Teaches her to surround herself in our ever changing world.
🤩 eee! THA OUTFITS! 🤩
This would be the motivation I need to finish my teacup holster! *swoon*
I look forward to Kumoricon every year. My cosplay this year is going to be my most epic and I am so excited to show it off because it’s also so new. Attending is the highlight of my year because the experience is like nothing you can get anywhere else. The camaraderie, and unity, and inclusivity is such a beautiful experience
I want to argue with my boyfriend really loud in the atrium and cause a huge scene and get escorted out by security!!!! It would be my first time ^W^
Been wanting to take my oldest to this for a few years. Been to others but not this one.
This would be my girlfriend’s first ever anime con and I’d really want to showcase to her how fun they can be and hopefully get her to cosplay with me as well!
This would be so cool! I haven’t been to kumoricon since 2019 I used to go all the time!
My two teens would really enjoy themselves at this event. I’d have fun too.. would love to attend.
Just moved to Portland from the beast coast and I would love to check out the con and get involved with the community!!
My family are Anime fans and would love to attend.
My youngest is a huge Japanese culture fan and we can not afford extras such as this, but he would have a blast!
This will be my third KumoriCon! I loved it previous two times I attended, it was a very chill con experience compared to others I’ve been too. Very excited to cosplay again!
Would love to experience this anime focused con- appreciate all the cosplayers, local artists and vendors… Expecting cuteness overload ^-^
I would love to attend to see all the amazing artwork and creativity that thrives at Kumoricon!
Would love to attend Kumoricon. It’ll be my first time!
My Husband and I are on a fixed income because he’s a disabled veteran but we love conventions when we can find a way to attend them. It would be really fun to go this year because I have a MaoMao cosplay waiting for a Moment to meet Emi Lo
My family would love to go.
I absolutely love cosplaying from niche anime’s but never really have the chance to go to big cons liek this and it would be so awesome to do so. ❤️
I love cosplaying fron niche anime’s and it would be an incredible experience to get to go to a con where others might appreciate the same ❤️❤️
I love being able to interact with people who share the same niche hobbies like cosplaying, anime, and collecting. I’d love to be able to make friends for future events!!
I haven’t been to kumoricon in over 10 years. It was my first con and I would love to go back!
Kumoricon was my first con when it first started and introduced me to a whole next level of joy and appreciation of anime, art with other people. I would love to be able to introduce my kid as they enjoy art, anime, cosplay and more as well!
My 12 year old daughters are absolutely in love with anime and would love to go. It would be the biggest surprise ever if we won. Thanks!
I have been wanting to go since I was in high school in 2007! I was the vice president of our anime club in school. The club got the chance to attend! But sadly I got sick and couldn’t go. Then I graduated and life changed. Lots of up’s and downs. Got married has a beautiful daughter who’s is also intro amine! It got put on the back burner. But this year I told myself that I was gonna go no matter what!! 2026 was gonna be my year to finally go!
I wish everyone the best of luck! And thanks for the opportunity!
William Hylla
I have always found such joy in going to conventions, as they help bring a great deal of excitement and joy to a life that feels full of stress and worry.
My fiance and I havent ever been to a convention together, id love to go with her to one
I’d love to see all the amazing cosplays !
Would love to be able to take my kid to this. They read anime so much and would just love it
I’d love to wander around artist alley!
I haven’t been able to go in years because it’s cost prohibitive. I’d love to go this year.
My daughter loves anime and has never attended one. We have never lived in a place where one was offered. It would be a great birthday present for her.
WOW!! This sounds like a really great EVENT. I would love to attend.
I haven’t been to Kumoricon in 10 years! I’d love to see what’s new.
Kumoricon was my first Con ever at 18 years old (2017) after wanting to go to one since I was a kid. Since then I’ve gone 4 times and brought friends and family everytime, even paying for their tickets and lodgings. I’ve never been able to afford a VIP pass to get into special events, and it would be nice to save that money to be able to spend it to support the artists, vendors and the convention itself!
I plan to PROPOSE to my girlfriend at the event. The problem is I can’t buy tickets to far in advance as we share an account and she will see.
Hoping to win for my kiddo Mordecai who is turning 15 & having a rough time in life and one of the things that brings them the most joy is anime and cosplay.
I am 64 years old and have never attended! It seems so interesting and I know my husband and I would love the experience. 🙂
My 11yo daughter is developing a love of anime and I would love to take her to this.
The first time i ever been to kumorucin i was there for work. Now i want to experience it as an attendee. I really enjoy these type of events and it would give me a perfect reason to get out of my home for a change and get to experience all the fun at Kumoricon.
Would love to go! This con is one of the best in the pnw! Would love to get to cosplay
It’ll be my sibling and their partner’s first time going to kumoricon, their partner is not from Oregon, so I would love to get them some tickets to attend. <3
What a generous offer! I’ve always wanted to attend. Thank you!!
I’m really looking forward to going to a convention for the first time in a couple years! I can’t wait to dress up, see the artist alley, go to panels and just have a fun time.
For my daughter. She is a bigger anime/manga fan than me and we both love to cosplay!
I would love to experience this fun cultural event and bring my child who is a big anime fan!
We came last year and had such a great time. My hours were recently cut and with holidays and birthdays coming up money is tight. I still want my kids to be able to come. This would be a huge deal for us.
looking toward event anc know it will be a good one would love to win tbe tickets , we are fans of things anime
My wife and I have three big reasons:
One, we love to go to the artist halls and find art to buy!
Two, we love to go to the special ticketed events like the saké tasting.
Three, we love the table top gaming hall and finding new games to play like tanto cuore.
I love anime and can’t wait to cosplay my favorite Alien Stage character!
I’ve never been and would love to go and dress up, check out all of the artists.
I would like to attend because I haven’t been since 2008 and I would use the second pass to take my 11 year old as he’s been getting into anime and he would squee almost constantly as it would be his second convention ever, his first being the last Orycon.
I’d love to win tickets to this to surprise my college kid!
I provide supports to people with disabilities and would love to bring a different client to each day of Kumoricon.
Getting the tickets would mean a lot to my wife and I. Lots of ups and downs this year but it would be our first time attending the con since moving to portland. Not to mention it would take place right after our now first anniversary of being together.
My teen ASD daughter would absolutely love this. She loves all things anime and Japanese and has never been to any sort of con.
To be clear, I’ll go either way… But with free tickets that will let me buy even more roses to give out while dressed in my Beauty and the Beast costume!
My teens have gone for the last 2 years and this is one of their favorite conventions!
I actually have already have a ticket but not everyone in my friend group has one and i would like one of the tickets for a friend who currently does not have one and the other ticket for my new boyfriend.
My daughter has found that she loves cons so this would be fantastic for her and her love of anime ❤️
Would love to go this year, especially to see some of my favorite voice actors.
Perfect for my daughter who loves ALL things Japanese! Plus I get points for being a good Dad!
We’d like to win so my wife can whip up yet another original/mash up cosplay and we can hand out fun stickers to everyone we chat with. 😆
Intuitively I believe this would be the place of insight To honor papa Kenji memory.
To both support my friend who is cosplaying and to enjoy time with like minded individuals. Never been to the event but have been wanting to!
I’ve been very sick the last few years and could really use something to look forward to! This would be a great date night with my partner but I can’t afford it right now. Thank you!
Haven’t attended Kumoricon in years, would be great to go and see everything again 🙂
It was one of my first conventions here in Oregon that I attended!
Never attended kumoricon but have always wanted to!!
I’ve never been to a con and would love to go with my partner 😀
To enjoy a nice weekend with my boyfriend! He absolutely loves when we do events together and so bringing him to another would be such a blessing.
Would love to be able to go experience this with my daughter. My niece attends every year and wants us to go this year.
I haven’t attended Kumoricon since it was in Vancouver. I NEED to get back there! I love the energy and friendships and the merch!
Never been to a con before at 35. Always wanted to but they never matched up with my work schedule. I will be off for this one and being able to talk about all the anime ive watched with other patrons would be awesome. Seeing the cosplays, getting some merch and immersing myself with a group of people who enjoy the same things I do. I would take my 3 boys as well and make it a dad day as the wife isnt too big on Otaku culture but my kids are. Thanks for the opportunity 🙏
I haven’t been to Kumoricon since I was a teenager. Now I have an 11 year old son and have been introducing him to all my favorite anime. Do I sense a Shinji and Misato cosplay in our future? 😎
Love going to kumoricon. Checking out the artist alley and see all the cosplays is the best part.
Oooooooh, my husband and son would LOVE this!
It’ll be my first time attending Kumoricon! I’m excited to meet people that share the same interests as me and buy cool art!!
OMG I would LOVE to win these, i haven’t been to kumoricon since i was 12 in 2012. It would be a wonderful experience to go back after 10+ years to see how much it’s changed!
Haven’t gone in years and would love to go and take my wife for her first time!
Never been to Kumoricon, would love to go and check out all the cosplays and especially Artist Alley!
Have never gone to an anime convention. It sound like a lot of fun to finally attend one
My daughter would love to go!
I’d love to win tickets and be able to take my daughter. Looks super fun!
I would love to win tickets so I could check this con out. I would love to see all the cosplay outfits
My partner and I have always wanted to go. Never been able to afford it for seemingly one reason or another. This would be incredible.
I have an almost 12 year old who has had a rough middle school transition without any of his previous friends. He’s shown a recent interest in anime and all things Japan, using Duolingo for learning Japanese when he struggles with learning and retention.
This is right before his birthday, this would also show him just how big and inclusive the community is
I would absolutely love a chance to go this year! I have so many friends and mutuals I’d love to see there, as well as the wonderful things kumo has lined up for attendees this year! It was my very first con in Oregon, and definitely holds a dear place in my heart. Things have gotten really expensive and cons aren’t easily accessible for anyone anymore, I hope whoever wins has an absolute blast 💖✨
Haven’t been to this con yet but would love to see the creative cosplays!
My girlfriend and I havent been able to go since pre-covid, it would be amazing to attend again!
I’d love to take my niece who is a huge anime fan, she is just getting into anime and already has learned so much. Her and I bond over our love of anime and kawaii things. This would be the ultimate experience for her and I would love to win auntie points from my niece💖 I want to teach her all about cosplay and immerse her in the world of cons!!
Artist Alley for sure!
I’d like to attend because this has been my first Anime Convention experience and I’ve always had a good time. It’s been a while since I’d gotten to attend but the atmosphere and the energy is just so different than the more corporate conventions. I’ve also got some cosplays that really need to stop collecting dust. Moon Girl MUST make her return!
Oh man I love this con but I haven’t been in years due to the cost! Would love to go!
I haven’t been to kumori con in years! It was first convention! I’d love to go but money is tight ATM! I’d love to go with the same friend that went with me that 1st time so we can relive and create new memories!!
I’ve been going to Kuno since 2006, I was on of the Panel hosts for the infamous Random Panel of Doom, RiP.
to take my daughter who loves it and would be overjoyed
My wife and I love cons and it has been too long since we’ve gone. KumoriCon is close enough that we can attend!
What’s the best way to learn, play, watch, and enjoy all in one spot? Kumoricon, I hear. I’ve never been, but would love to go, talk to the artists, learn about new styles and trends, and take in the best manga and anime of this day. Coming from Springfield where there’s not much going on, this would be super special!
I would love to win and take my daughter! We love anime!
I’ve NEVER been to an anime convention, but have always wanted to. And I’d take my wife for her first time, too!
My 6 year old has been asking to go to Japan because he is into Japanese anime. This would be a great introduction for him.
We absolutely love to cosplay and I would love to relive the day I met my wife
Id love to be able to take my partner on our first trip together. We live 8 hours apart and both of us have had an awful year so far, so it’d be lovely to surprise him with a trip.
I have not been to an anime convention in so long and I miss cosplaying so much! This would be a great way to get back to it!!!
Listen, this looks weird and amazing so of course I want in!
I went last year and met so many great people! I would love to be able to meet up with so many old and new friends again this year too!! Portland is amazing and Kumoricon is such a brilliant place to meet people I actually have things in common with.
I am a children’s book author but I’ve never been to an Anime event before and I would love to take a friend.
I would love to take my daughter! She is a big fan.
Kumoricon is always a good time! Would love the opportunity to visit again. 🙂
I would love to win tickets to take my daughter. She will graduate this year and loves all things anime and cosplay. It would be such a fun mother daughter experience before she moves onto adulthood and college.
My daughter is going to lose her mind over this event! I sure hope we can pull it off. I cant wait to see the joy on her face if we get to go to this cool event! She is an amazing Anime artist who is obsessed! So cool!
Hoping I can balance work, school, and still have time to work on shin kingdom cosplay (haven’t started yet).
One of my best friends and I are huge fan of some different animes, and have always wanted to go to a convention. Realistically due some medical stuff for my friend, an income stuff for both of us. It has been really hard to have or save the money for stuff like this. I think it would be awesome to be able to do something like this and give them a really nice experience that would last a lifetime. They have been my rock and I would love to be able to have the opportunity to be able to gift bestie was something like this.
i hear word that 2026 is the year to go if you’ve never been and I’ve never been
I’m so passionate about community and how creative everyone can be. Anime, along with music has always been an outlet for me, and it would just be amazing to be able to go. Financially it’s just not doable for me.
I would love to win because this is one of the few things one of my teens and I could do together and really enjoy.
I used to go to all sorts of Cons when i was in my teens and 20’s and they and I love to bounce cosplay ideas off eachother.
It has been a tough year for my little sister and I we are planning to go if we can somehow swing it. She just got divorced and needs a jump back into good community. I know Kumori-con will be a great time! Goodluck to everyone!
One of the few places my teen can be herself and in her cosplay element!
Kumoricon means amazing anime costumes, and all the hot anime and manga storylines! All my artist friends say this is the show to see – this may be my year!
My youngest kid who now is an adult still collects anime would love to take her
I have studied the Japanese language and culture for over 40 years & been super lucky to have hosted Japanese students every summer while my mom taught english to the group. Learning from our Japanese homestay students and reading all the great comics direct from Japan like Dragonball Z and the like began a passion that never got old. In fact the opposite. Now having kids of my own whom are fascinated by EVERYTHING of Japan I would be thrilled to experience this with my oldest. So exciting!
It would be my first ever con! I’ve been wanting to go for years, but I never had enough money for tickets.
I would love to win this for my friend and I. This is her 1st celebrated Birthday out as a trans woman. Neither of us can afford tickets on our own. We have never been to an Anime convention. She has low vision, and cartoons and anime are the only movies and shows she can see. This would be a really special gift for her.
Haven’t been to a con in forever & would love to go to one with my partner who hasn’t been to one before ! ^__^
To be able to take my son to his first con.
Just to have an authentic adventure with my wife who is just starting to get into the culture!
My husband and I would love the opportunity to visit and see what it’s all about! Thank you!
I’ve always loved Kumo and this year, I ended up becoming homeless and all of my money was used to help fix my life, so tickets weren’t in the budget. A lot of my friends who are long distance will be attending and I’d adore seeing them again. As a disabled person, November can be pretty rainy and sitting outside in a wheelchair isn’t ideal for me 🙁
I’d love to see my friends and enjoy this convention again this year!
I am new to Portland!! I would love to attend this con!! I would absolutely dress up!! Even though I’m 50, I love to dress in cos. ❤️
I went to the very first few Kumoricon events and I haven’t been for many years. It would be delightful to go again.
Conventions always look really fun and my friend and I always binge anime episodes on the chances our schedules align (currently on apothecary diaries, so hyped to start season 3), so it’d be cool to attend a community event about anime together and have fun.
Would love to win the tickets to attend! It will be our first time going, and would love to support local artists, see events, and enjoy the atmosphere my husband and I love.
Wow I’d really like to go, yes please.
I never really had the means to go to convention before for a multitude of reasons. one being I just simply couldn’t afford tickets due being broke my whole life.
now that I have friends and the urge to actually go outside to express myself I would like to go with them. but again, pay check to pay check. I have no means of realistically affording it.
It’ll be my first time attending one here in the US and I’m pumped to be able to experience it!
It’s been over 10 years since I’ve been and i’d love to go back and see what it’s like at the convention center!
Ive only been to kumoricon once and I’d love to go again!
To go to my first one after moving to the area
This is my favorite convention to attend when I can.
Would love to take my daughter!
I’d love to take my daughter who didn’t get to go last year because she was in the hospital.
Oh my daughter would absolutely love to go!! And of course me too!
OMG. My partner would lose their mind if we were able to go. They are from Japan and haven’t been home in over a decade. Also they are an anime freak.
Super excited for the musical guests! Would love to get to see them perform!
Would be my sons first con! Would be great to take him
It’s been quite a few years since I properly went to Kumo, and honestly I would like to go again. I haven’t really been cosplaying since 2020, and I find myself missing it more and more. The tickets would definitely put a spark back in my step!
My boyfriend and I would have so much fun!
ive never been
It’s a family event my 3 boys haven’t been to. Had to forgo RCCC 2026 due to unexpected medical expenses
It’ll be our first time going and we’re celebrating our engagement and my birthday!!! It would lovely to see all the art vendors too!! <3
My daughter and I would live to go
My 10 year old autistic daughter has found her community amongst the geek world! She loves cosplay, jpop/kpop, manga, anime and Nintendo! She just performed at her first lip lyncing competition at MochiConPop in Puyallup WA! She won judges choice! Next is cosplay competition! We live in Seattle and would love to drive to Portland for the weekend and celebrate this Con!
Kum on, I need to go uwu hehe!!
One of my best friends took me to my first Kumoricon last year and it was such a core memory for both of us 🥹 I would love to go again this year with them and I would especially love to catch the fashion show this year!
This is better than watching the stuff on Netflix, I am sure 😉 I hope to attend as I’ve never been to an event like this before.
This looks ridiculously fun! I can’t wait to watch it.
Both my partner and I have never been to any of these types of events and have always wanted to go! We have many friends that have gone (both in cosplay is not!) and I always love seeing the photos they post! I would love to experience this at least once in my life & it would be a wonderful birthday present ! 😍
What a giving community! I just strolled upon this website recently and think it is so cool how inclusive and giving Portland is to the community. Any who, my partner is obsessed with anime. She actually got me into a few, Dan Da Dan, Jujutsu Kaisen, and we’re starting demon slayer soon. I never grew up watching but she did with her sister. She loves Halloween because she can cosplay her favorite anime characters. Her favorite, which I am sure is a lot of people’s favorite character is Gojo. I mean he’s just elite c’mon. Sorry, I got away from the plot. I think it would be so fun to go to an anime convention. She has never been and has expressed interest in going to one. Thank you for giving back to us, we really appreciate it.
Aleea again. I didn’t check the dates. I will not be in town this weekend unfortunately. Sounds like a blast though and I hope whoever wins has the greatest time!
I want to take my granddaughter to Kumoricon. This would be a first time for both of us. She’s beginning to watch and appreciate animaes. We enjoy spending time together and this would be a great memory.
My husband and I have never gone to a convention together and we’ve always wanted to go to this one. Looks so fun!
Would love the opportunity to go to kumoricon again after 20 years since the last time!
That sounds right up my kids alley
I would finally be able to attend a Con with my partner. 😍
I’d like to go to Kumoricon for the first time, i’ve been wanting to go for years and never had the money to do so, i’d like to plan on it this year or next year. sooner the better. I’ve heard so much about the environment and so many fun stories and experiences by my friends who attend almost every year
This is right around my step daughter’s birthday! She wasn’t able to handle much of comicon without me there, I would love to be able to take her to this! Bsd her thing! And having me there would be far more enjoyable!
My daughter has been a big fan of anime lately so it would be so wonderful to expose her to her first anime con, Kumoricon! This was also my first con I went to back then
I need Kumoricon because my wallet is currently cosplaying as a tragic backstory, and this is my chance at a character development arc. 😂🎌🖤 I want to spend a weekend surrounded by anime, incredible cosplay, Japanese culture, and people who understand that fictional characters have absolutely ruined our standards for real life. 💀✨ Plus, imagine the plot twist of actually winning tickets instead of just watching everyone else’s convention highlights like an NPC. 😭😂 Consider this my audition for the universe’s next lucky main character. LET ME HAVE MY ANIME ARC! 🫡🔥🎟️
I’d love to go because I haven’t gone into long and I’d love to see what’s new!
My boyfriend just moved in from California, I’d love to take him. He’s never been to a convention, but his mom and I have gushed about our con/cosplay experiences to each other. I haven’t cosplayed in a long time but I really want to get back into it (and drag my boyfriend into couples cosplays 🙂↕️😈)
My son is super into anime and he would love to go to this! This sounds like so much fun! 😸
I’d love to take my husband. We’ve never been to a con due to prices and I believe he deserves something fun.
I would love to try and win extra tickets for my friends to go! I want to cosplay with them and have a great time! #helluva #ADC fun!
I I have not been in a few years this would be amazing to be able to get into this finally again
Amazing would be so fun to go
Looks like an absolute blast for people watching and seeing all of the creative energy.
I’d love to see the cosplay and my daughter would LOVE this. Thanks!
I just wanna take my teen who would love this. Sadly we are so broke but they have been working so hard and I’d love to take them.
I’d love to attend with my partner because I’ve had a really tough year with chronic illness and going through surgery. This would mean a lot!
I’d love to go with my partner and go to all of the events!
I’d love to win because I’d love to take my daughter. I think she would really love the cosplay and the dealer hall.
My best friend of 14 years grew up loving Anime. I recently got into it and am trying to connect with her on her interests and would love to surprise her!
I’ve wanted to go to an anime convention since I was a tween, but I was never able to go–this one looks like it’d be a really fun first!
I’ve never gone (because I can’t afford it) and would love love love an opportunity to be surrounded by fellow anime & manga lovers. ❤️
my teenager has been so helpful in the house lately and this would be a dream come true for her and i to connect and for me to observe her in her natural habitat!
I’d love to win so that my friend and I can go this year! We went often as kids but it’s been near a decade since we’ve last attended, mostly due to costs. If we won, we’d have an excuse to pull the old cosplays out of the closet!
I’ve been on medical lockdown for weeks and would love to get out of the house with my kid for something fun we both enjoy! We’d have a blast!
I would love to bring my daughter!
OH MAN I haven’t been to kumo in over 10 years. It’d be great nostalgia and a perfect way for me to ease back to conventions after having a good bit of bad experiences that left a bit sour in my mouth
I took my daughter to her first Kumoricon when she was a newborn and would love to take her again 19 years later!
Kumoricon would be fun for my kids to attend! Thanks for the opportunity to win tickets
I would like to attend because I look forward to exploring Artist Alley and supporting the amazing talent that makes our local community so special.
I want to go with my neice and bond over our love of cosplay! One of the days I’m bringing 90s realness with my homemade Bride of Chucky cosplay and I’m excited to see what my neice goes as this year!
My husband and I would have a blast going together!
I haven’t been to kumoricon since I was a high schooler living up in Seattle, I took a Dart bus down to Portland just to go! I’d love to go again
WOuld love to join my son for this! He goes to a similar Con in Chicago to meet up with his friends each year, but he should see what PDX has to offer!
Never been to something like this. This would be a new experience I’d be looking forward to.
Kumoricon was the first con i ever attended back when i was a freshman in high school! Its now been over a decade since I’ve been to a con but i would love to go again and relive being a teen again!
To support my son’s interests, embarrass him in public, and pretend I know what everyone’s cosplaying as.
I would love to be able to take my 12 year old daughter! She loves dressing up in anime costumes and we don’t get to do a lot of things like this together and I think she would have SO much fun! 💗
It’s my wife’s birthday and the event actually falls on her birthday. She really wants to dress all of our friends up as someone from One Piece. It was her favorite anime as a kid.
I’d love to be able to cosplay, and see the amazing cosplay at the con! I also love to support our local artists and bring love to the community!
There is so much to learn from the Japanese culture and I’ve never been to any con. I would bring my son who would be delighted.
I used to work at one of the Starbucks next to the convention center and it’s the closest I’ve gotten to going to a convention. I could never afford to go, or I’d make plans with someone and something would happen to make the plans fall apart. But during my years at Starbucks, it was impossible to get those days off. I asked for us to be allowed to dress up for work shifts during the conventions. It was so much fun.
Since then I’ve become a makeup artist. I want to go even more now. It’s just always a bit out of reach!
Wow this would be so awesome to win. I never have a reason to go to Portland and this con sounds so cool!
I’d love to bring my nieces with me for their first ever Comic-Con
My wife has only been once, back in 2011, and I’d love the chance to take her again. We now have two kids, and between the cost of babysitting and a night out, quality time together can be hard to make happen. She’s always putting our family first and rarely treats herself, so I try to find opportunities to make her feel special and appreciated. Winning would mean a chance to enjoy some time together and give her a night she wouldn’t usually choose to spend on herself.
I’ve never met any Vtubers before, neither have I ever been to an anime convention. Would be a unique experience either way.
im on a teachers budget and a weekend away to nerd out sounds incredible! i can also buy some plushies for my classroom that meet the interests of my learners 🙂
Long time anime fan here!
I’d love to bring family and experience the con together!
I would live to go with my adult son who also loves anime so we can enjoy the experience together!
Cowboy bebop ftw!
I’d love to win these tickets to check out my first formal con. I’m a huge anime fan and really into fandom culture, so going to a con would be awesome.
I would love to take my 8 year old daughter who is really getting into anime and Japanese culture. I grew up in the 90s with some of the best anime. Ive personally never been to an anime convention and this would be awesome to enjoy with my kiddo.
I’m a long time fan of anime, VNs, and manga, and I’d love to get the chance to cosplay, support local artists, and connect with other anime fans.
It’s my birthday on November 11th and I used to go to kumoricon for 9 years in a row from 2011 but haven’t been able to go since covid. 2020 would’ve been my 10th year in a row and I miss it there so much.
Would be wonderful to attend
As former VP of the anime club, I’d kill to go!
i would love to take my best friend to their first convention!
I’d love to go because I’ve never been to a con but have been watching anime for 15 years! I’d take my boyfriend who also hasn’t been to one 🙂 and I would cosplay something from Elden ring
It’s Kumoricon! Let’s go!!!
I can’t afford to go otherwise. Broke bitches need to have fun too.
Would love to surprise my son with this. 😀 Thanks!
My hubby could use a joyous distraction right now. This would be amazing.
Well I haven’t had the chance to attend since covid happened and it better awesome if I could go again
Maybe I’ll learn something.
I am so excited to attend this Kumoricon this year! Due to scheduling, I have yet to be able to attend, but this year aligns! Can’t wait to check out all of the incredible art!
I would love the experience. 😊
I want to learn more about Japanese culture in the historical monsters panel, supernatural cat panel, holiday traditions, kumihimo crafting and more!
I would love to surprise my boyfriend with this. He would be over the moon! Thank you for the chance.
My son and I absolutely love anime and would any excuse to be surrounded by other anime fans and to compare theories with them.
My daughter would love this. She was sick with the flu and didn’t get to partake this year in Halloween. She has a full on Madoka outfit
I volunteered at Kumoricon in 2003 as a teen wearing my first ever cosplay! I met my absolute best friend in the whole world there, it was fate ❤️ My husband has never been to an anime con, I would love for this to be his first one
I would love to attend to see all the cool art and costumes!
My daughter would love to go, she went a few yrs ago and hasn’t had a chance since.
Very much hoping to visit this con for the first time. Would be a wonderful opportunity and experience for me and my little one. Cant really afford much fun outings these days so let’s go!
Would love to bring my tween who loves anime. We often can’t afford to go to these types of events.
I haven’t been to a con for years and years, when I used to go to Comicon in San Diego. Now that I have teens that love anime, and Japanese culture, I would LOVE to bring them to this! Thank you!
I love Kumoricon! I would be delighted to attend this year after I have been unable to go for the last few times due to devastating financial troubles. My friends would love to spend time with me in the happiest convention on Mother Earth.
Id love to see all the artist!!!
My daughter is a seamstress and makes Cosplay dresses!!!! It’s also my birthday weekend and I would be honored to be chosen and be able to take my kiddo. We LOVE Anime in our house!!
We are time travelers and have been told our mission will take place at Kumori Con this year. The fate of the world depends on us being there. However we were sent here without sufficient funds. The Earth and all her lowly inhabitants will suffer endlessly should we not complete this mission. We beseech you for assistance. All is not yet lost!
My partner and I have been wanting to go to a convention as Snufkin and Moomintroll, and we were planning to go to kumoricon this year, but we recently discovered we can’t afford tickets. We have never been to a con together before, and we really want to be able to do so.
