Thousands of characters came to life at the Melbourne Oz Comic Con 2025 on the weekend.
Taking place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre in South Wharf, this year’s event was a truly memorable experience.
From 9am Saturday and Sunday, the venue filled with thousands of cosplayers in their striking and creative costumes.
Whether you’re a diehard sci-fi lover, animation addict or cosplay enthusiast, Oz Comic Con Melbourne promised something for everyone.
Cosplay remains a highlight of the Oz Comic Con experience, and Melbourne again hosted the renowned Oz Comic Con Championships of Cosplay — one of Australia’s most esteemed cosplay competitions.
Participants also vied for a generous $1500 cash prize and had the coveted opportunity to be immortalised in Oz Comic Con’s Hall of Fame.
Enthusiasts of all skill levels were invited to celebrate the art of cosplay through dedicated spaces for photo shoots, stage showcases, and community-building activities that showcase creativity, craftsmanship and camaraderie.
Audible also invited fans to test their knowledge of beloved Sci-Fi and Fantasy titles, including Harry Potter and The Hunger Games, in an immersive, escape room-style experience.
Through a series of audio and interactive challenges, participants were asked to engage with themed props and clues to unlock the secrets of the Audible Secret Library.
The convention centre is also known for hosting other exciting events such as The Animaga Expo and the PAX Aus Convention.
