The moment you have been waiting for has arrived.

With 60 entries, more than 3,000 voters and two internationally famous cosplayers, the votes are in and we are proud to announce the winners of azcentral's first ever Kings & Queens of Cosplay Contest.

See all of the entries here.

Between traveling to Japan and the Ottawa Comiccon, Jessica Nigri has officially named Tia Dworshak with her cosplay of a 'Night Elf Druid' as her top choice.

Lindsay Elyse, after painstakingly agonizing over her choice saying "MAN this is going to be hard!!" when first seeing the gallery, has selected Song Ja Park with her cosplay of Blink from 'X-men Days of Future Past.'

Lastly, the public cried out in massive response and the people's choice award goes to Jessica Overby with her cosplay of 'Snowbound Ahri.'

Thank you to each and every cosplayer who participated. We look forward to next year. And stay tuned for a gallery of many of your fantastic entries.

Keep an eye out the week of Phoenix Comicon, May 28-31, for the release of the winners' photos on azcentral.com after their professional photo shoot with David Kadlubowski.
