Outside of the gaming competitions, DreamHack Dallas hosted a $3,000 Cosplay Championship on the event's main stage. Halo cosplayer ODSTSax, who wears ODST armor and plays saxophone, was a fan favorite. You can see more cosplay from DreamHack in the video below.
I got to walk the stage in the @DreamHack #DHDallas cosplay contest with Stella from @FamilytheGathe1 to show off my new Nissa, Who Shakes the World costume! Thanks again to @AirBubbles and @Erinsartstuff for the creation of it! @DHCosplay @DreamHackMagic #DHMTG pic.twitter.com/PM9Ou39ZXZ

DreamHack Dallas also hosted a concert on Saturday night featuring the metal bands Veil of Maya and Wage War. Members of Wage War walked the halls of the show, too, and even helped out with the Cosplay Championship. From the looks of the photos below, it appeared to be a rockin' good time.
