Unlike AFA\u2019s flagship November event \u2014 which centres on big-stage concerts and official brand experiences \u2014 CSF puts the spotlight squarely on creators: artists, cosplayers, illustrators, and content makers who form the backbone of the ACG community in Singapore and across the region.<\/p>\n<p>CSF26 takes over <strong>Suntec Singapore Convention &amp; Exhibition Centre, Halls 403\u2013405<\/strong>, on the weekend of 11\u201312 July 2026.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s On at CSF26<\/h2>\n<p>The festival is built around four core pillars, each catering to a different part of the creator and fan community.<\/p>\n<h3>Creators Hub<\/h3>\n<p>Independent artists and illustrators take over a dedicated exhibition zone, giving fans direct access to original ACG-inspired artwork, prints, and merchandise. If you\u2019ve ever wanted to buy directly from the artist rather than a reseller, this is the place.<\/p>\n<h3>Cosplay Hub<\/h3>\n<p>Cosplayers from Singapore and across the region showcase their work on a dedicated stage. The headline event is the <strong>Cosplay Singles Competition<\/strong>, where contestants display their costume craftsmanship and performance for a judging panel \u2014 with <strong>cash prizes<\/strong> on the line. Cosplay applications are open now (more details below).<\/p>\n<h3>Creators Lab<\/h3>\n<p>This is the knowledge-sharing heart of CSF: experienced creators lead workshops and panel sessions covering everything from illustration technique and character design to growing an audience online. Whether you\u2019re a beginner or looking to level up, there\u2019s something here.<\/p>\n<h3>Stage Performances<\/h3>\n<p>Live acts and performances round out the programme throughout both days, keeping the energy high on the main stage.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/csf26-creators-super-fest-floor-map.png?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"CSF26 Creators Super Fest Singapore 2026 floor map Suntec\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Creators Super Fest \/ Anime Festival Asia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Cosplay Hub: Applications Are Open Now<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to compete or display your cosplay at CSF26, you need to apply \u2014 and the window is open right now.
