SUIT UP FOR STOCKHOLM
Heyo Contestants!
The Grand Major 2026 is coming up, and the Arena needs more than the sixteen competing teams. It needs a crowd that looks the part, and Contestants that are not afraid to shine. We have seen your passion, online and in person last year so this time we're hosting our very own THE FINALS Cosplay Showcase at DreamHack Stockholm. Built or bought, we want to see your Contestant on stage, the Sponsors are watching so let’s see who can take their breath away.
Maybe you've spent months building a full Heavy set. Maybe you're finishing a Light loadout the night before. Whichever one you are going for, there's a chance that you can get on stage! Here's how it works, and everything you need to know.
GENERAL INFORMATION
WHEN: DreamHack Stockholm, November 27
WHERE: On the same stage as The Grand Major 2026
You will get to walk on stage and showcase your cosplay in front of the whole audience!
Remember, this is not a craftsmanship contest, only the vibes matter. We will also have a professional photographer taking pictures of every Contestant walking on stage to immortalize your creations.
THE SHOW
WHAT IT IS: One stage, one category. Just be yourself and step into the spotlight
WHO CAN ENTER: Anyone can apply, but spots are limited. Make sure to read the rules before applying!
HOW TO SIGN UP
DEADLINE: Sign up by 20th of November 5pm CET
Important Note: You'll need a DreamHack badge to get into the venue. Get your tickets!
RULES OF THE ARENA
In THE FINALS, you can level a building with a well-placed C4. At DreamHack, please don't.
The Arena has its own rules, and in order to participate you have to comply with Dreamhacks’ Festival Rules, as well as their Cosplay Competitions Rules.
THE PRIZES
No vault to steal, no cashout to defend. Just you, your creation and the audience. Impress them and you could win some merch! Every Contestant participating in the event will also receive a participation Diploma and Multibucks.
We managed to get in a quick word with Scotty.
Scotty: “Come as whoever you like, folks! Although, if there are six Junes and no Scottys, we’re going to have a conversation.”
GOOD TO KNOW
For questions please reach out to community@embark-studios.com
The cosplay lounge in the T-wing will have changing rooms and a repair station
Haven't gotten a ticket yet? DreamHack is also offering 10% off on tickets with code "EmbarkCosplay”!
ONE MORE SHOW
Sixteen teams will fight for The Throne to become the winners of The Grand Major 2026. The rest of us get to dress the part and steal the show. It is now time for you to lock-in, sign-up for the contest, and show everyone your best creations!
SEE YOU IN STOCKHOLM CONTESTANTS!
