Since 2023, Illustris Models has been actively working alongside conventions to help run and grow their cosplay competitions by sponsoring prizes and offering custom trophies. From working with two events in 2023, Illustris has expanded to working with 11 different events (in 3 different countries!) in 2025 offering services ranging from gift certificates, physical prizes (such as our Cosplay Companions), show pieces and custom trophies and medals for cosplay competitions, esports tournaments and longstanding ceremonial trophies for events to use year after year.

For all show pieces, custom trophies and custom medals, the client is required to cover material costs and a percentage of the labour costs. The remaining portion of the cost can be subsidised by sponsorship entitlements such as table space, competition naming rights, articles/press releases, etc.

All custom design work is quoted on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us directly if you're interested in commissioning custom trophies, medals or show pieces for your event!
