Top 10 NA Cosplayers

Last year I posted a list of the Top Cosplayers in North America. Then I was looking at Facebook and Twitter numbers, now I've added in Instagram. The results are published below.

Here is a look at this list as of June 1, 2015.

Name	Where	Facebook Rank	2014 Rank
Jessica Nigri	Phoenix	1	1
Yaya Han	Georgia	2	2
Holly Wolf	Toronto, CAN	3	-
Nicole Marie Jean	Boston	4	4
Meg Turney	Austin	5	-
Liz Kats	L.A.	6	6
Kristen Hughey	South Carolina	7	5
Ani-Mia	Washington	8	6
Lindsay Elyse	Arizona	9	-
Stella Chuu	New York	10	10

For every one Twitter follower, the average Cosplayer has 4.6 Facebook Followers.

Monica Lee	Georgia	6	4
Anna Faith	Florida	7	-
Angie Griffin	Bakersfield	8	-

The new factor is Instagram, last year I didn't have this on the list, but it definitely seems to be a social media powerhouse. The average Cosplayer has 3.1x as many Facebook followers as they have Instagram followers.

Name	Where	Instagram Rank
Jessica Nigri	Phoenix	1
Anna Faith	Georgia	2
Lindsay Elyse	Arizona	3
Meg Turney	Austin	4
Yaya Han	Atlanta	5
Vampy Bitme	San Jose	6

Christine H McConnell	Los Angeles	8
Holly Wolf	Toronto, CAN	9

Once you put it all together things shift, but the same people are involved.

Ani-Mia	8	15	16	13.0

What other traceable factors could be included in such a ranking? All of these cosplayers travel and do a great job of promoting our medium, and they do lots of conventions. That's why I started the list in the first place, to help decide who our local convention should invite.
