The radiance of Prisma Saga continues with the flare of Anime and Cosplay eXpo 2026: Radiant Ruby on July 18–19, 2026, at Function Rooms 4–5 of the SMX Convention Center Manila in Pasay City.
A brilliant continuation of the first two events in the series this year, the spark of Radiant Ruby calls to passionate fans from a wide range of fandoms—from anime and gaming to cosplay and photography.
Come and explore over 4,250 square meters of event space illuminated by a stunning lineup of famous cosplay stars and performers at All-Star Avenue, and strike a dazzling pose at the Photography Area. Browse more than 150 exhibit booths and shops featuring fan-made collectibles, official merchandise, and many other exciting loot items, including bids starting at just one peso during the Cosplay Auction.
Witness the event stage erupt with exhilarating competitions, starting with the battle of anime knowledge in Don’t Skip Intro! Test your instincts and guess what the community picked as the best in Frenemy Feud!
Immerse yourself in the fast-paced competition of Cosplay Contenders. Show off your singing skills at Cosplay Karaoke Encore for a chance to qualify for the Cosplay Karaoke Cup, and watch outstanding performances at Cosplay’s Got Talent, where the winning act could become the opening performance for the biggest stage at Cosplay Mania 2026.
The excitement continues with the search for the next champion in the GICOF Philippine Qualifiers, where competitors will battle for the opportunity to represent the Philippines at the GICOF Finals in Bucheon, South Korea.
Taking the spotlight this year is world-renowned Thai cosplayer CMYK.cosplay, recognized for his exceptional talent, including winning the Grand Prize at the 2023 Gyeonggi International Cosplay Festival (GICOF). Fans can purchase his official merchandise and participate in an autograph signing and meet-and-greet session.
