JUDGE 2
Tajana Štasni
is a Croatian cosplayer and judge with more than seventeen years of experience, that is also known to her friends as Taja Aždaja. Her love for cosplay started very early, back in her high school days when she dared to present herself on Sferakon in 2000 in the costume of Amidala from Star Wars. That’s when the cosplay story began. From Star Wars themed costumes to costumes from the Tolkien universe. It is almost impossible to count all the costumes she had sewn for others, some for cosplay, some for LARP, themed parties and even weddings. She also worked as a costume designer on films ad series: “La femme musketeer“, “Egon, the Northwest Wind“, etc.
