This competition determines the world's best cosplay performance in video work. It is a new form of cosplay enjoyment that spreads through video,
offering a different way to showcase cosplay than on-stage performances.
Being held as a different competition from the World Cosplay Summit every August,
the winning team in the online streaming format will also be invited to the World Cosplay Summit.

Watch some works presented in the previously known as "Video Division," conducted in 2021 and 2022.
