Filipina cosplay artist Ming Miho was declared the Grand Prix winner of the competition for her original song and cosplay video that addresses the problem of marine waste and pollution in the oceans.

Another cosplayer from the Philippines, Kami No Ryoiki, took home the Natsuki Hanae’s Award for his Isaac Netero cosplay from the anime, Hunter x Hunter.

Ryoiki received the special prize from esteemed voice actor and judge Natsuki Hanae who praised the Filipino cosplayer’s use of recycled materials for the costume.
