Cosplayers who were not selected to be country representatives are very welcome to attend the convention — for free! Simply pre-register with AFA 09 and show up in costume during the con; if your costume passes the inspection you will be presented with a festival ticket absolutely free!
AFA09 will be held on the 21st and 22nd of November at Singapore’s Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre (Halls 403 – 404). This year’s highlight is the I Love Anisong concert featuring Shokotan, MAY’N, Mizuki Ichiro, Fukuyama Yoshiki, and Hatsune Miku.

I might be in Singapore on November 16-18 for business. I’m hoping I could move it to 21-24 instead. I didn’t know that pre-registered cosplayers will get free passes! ^^ I’ll prepare for that~
