Also appearing is Omar Francia\, who is widely known for his work on Star Wars as well as Doom Patrol\, Mass Effect and the critically acclaimed Volition. And Sergio Cariello\, who is known for Deathstroke\, Batman\, the Avengers and The Action Bible. \nIn addition\, award-winning guest cosplayers will host panel discussions\, which includes a session on Saturday for first-time convention goers called “Comic Con 101\,” and a session on Sunday for novice and intermediate cosplayers to hone their skills called “Cosplay Q&A: Ask the Experts.” \n“We want people who are unfamiliar with comic conventions to feel welcome\, join in on the fun\, and meet the best cosplayers in Florida\,” said Dewey Caruthers\, noting that all of the cosplay guests have been featured in Florida Cosplay Digital Magazine.  \nIncluded in the convention schedule are cosplay contests each day\, which will be judged by the guest cosplayers. Saturday’s cosplay contest is titled “craftsmanship\,” with the following categories and prizes: best in show with a $200 award\, master $150 award\, journeyman $100\, and novice $50. Immediately following the contest is a panel discussion with the winners\, which includes analysis by the guest cosplayers. And Sunday’s cosplay contest is “runway”\, and includes categories for best in show\, best anime\, best comic\, best group\, and best youth – all of whom will receive appropriately unusual trophies. \nThe convention will also feature anime activities and science fiction programming. For example\, Sailor Moon anime activities include “Sailor Moon Jeopardy” and “Sailor Moon Death Match\,” and Star Wars science fiction programming will feature light saber training. \nMoreover\, there are panel discussions on a wide range of geek topics. For instance\, there will be two panels on the paranormal and ghosts\, with one focusing on the phenomenon in Tampa Bay and the other specific to spirits in St. Petersburg. And there will be panels on anime and comics that feature the guest voice actors and artists.
