One of the enjoyable activities of the convention is showing off your cosplay and having your photo taken. Better still is getting together with a group of others who enjoy the same series as you. Check out this year’s photo shoot schedule and make plans to be part of the photo fun. Cosplayers and cosplay enthusiasts alike are welcome. Make new friends and meet up with friends from past Anime Iowa’s to show off this year’s cosplay creations and make some digital memories.
