Button Bash 2026 People's Choice winner!

MJ's fully committed cosplay of Warang from Avatar captured the hearts of everyone at Button Bash.

Congratulations on this amazing display. Not only did this cosplay turn heads, it embodied our desire to see our attendees express themselves fully.

The Button Bash 2026 DIY competition was our fiercest yet! With competitors working weeks in advance to sew, stick, solidify their embodiment of their chosen characters. But in the end, there can only be one winner! CONGRATULATIONS TO

Thank You!

You showed us the power of community with how you showed up for Button Bash 2026. We saw insane combos, wholesome side quests and the building of future clans.

You were there to witness the crowning our gaming Kings of 2026 for Blur, Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1. With us you saw the dawn of a new era of cosplay in Zimbabwe.

See you at Otakukon Anime Festival 2026
