1) Tell us a few words about your team, its history and activities! When and how did the team start organizing events? What led you to organizing events? Why did you choose Korinthos for your events? What type of events are they and what themes are they about? Are those themes based on the organizers’ personal interests, and if so, when did you start taking an interest in each of them?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Korinthos Cosplay<\/span><\/strong> was founded in 2015. We are the first Cosplay community in Korinthos and throughout the prefecture of Korinthos in general. But at the same time we the second ones to appear in the Peloponnese province. The first Cosplay community in the Peloponnese province goes to Kalamata, which organized a Cosplay event there, a few years earlier, in 2011 ( by Kuroi Hana<\/strong><\/a> ). The reason we’ve chosen Korinthos was and is the following. Since Cosplay events were taking place  all over the country, why not try organizing such an event in our city too, something that would be completely new for the city’s residents which they had never seen before? And so it happened. People came, they liked it a lot, they enjoyed it. And of course we met Korinthos’ Cosplayers who made their appearance. But not only Korinthos’ Cosplayers were present, but also Cosplayers from Athens and Volos. The 1st Cosplay Korinthos<\/strong><\/a> took place in 2015 and the 2nd Cosplay Korinthos<\/strong><\/a> in 2016. All the events we organized or participated at in Korinthos, Athens and Crete, are related to Cosplay. Cosplay events with a general theme, but also with specific themes.<\/p>\n

2) How much effort, time and money does it usually take to set up an event? What is the usual preparation plan that you follow?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Lots of effort, time and money daily. Having to invest all your day’s free time to go out on the spot to find sponsors as soon as you finish from work. You’ll definitely have to spend money out of your pocket, because you may have miscalculated something and at that moment you won’t be able to do otherwise. As for the preparation plan, we find the venue, then we look for sponsors and then we set a date for the event.<\/p>\n

3) How did you feel during your first event and how after its end? Describe this experience to us.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Naturally there was a lot of stress throughout the event. But I was very happy the event went very well and people liked it too. It’s really a very beautiful experience to be happy that your event went very well and people enjoyed it.<\/p>\n

4) What was the most difficult event you organized until now? What defines it as such?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
I don’t remember any of the events being difficult to organize, to tell you the truth. Of course, all events had and still have their own different, but pleasant, fatigue that results from organizing them.<\/p>\n

5) Are you satisfied with the people’s response to your events all those years, as well as with the number of Cosplays attending?<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Yes and no. There have been some events where people’s response was reduced, but the response from Cosplayers even more so. I know, no one is required to attend any event. But there’s no excuse after the end of each event for any Cosplayer to say that he didn’t attend, because there was an entrance fee. While in fact it was announced everywhere that the entry for Cosplayers would be free. That’s pure nonsense and twaddle.<\/p>\n
