The Six Sixteen Cosplay No-Prize

Red Six Sixteen Cosplay No-Prize ribbons were given out to people at Dragon Con 2026 who were doing Marvel cosplays or wearing fun Marvel t-shirts. If you got one, congrats! You’re a no-prize winner!

A no-prize is a fake prize. There is literally no prize. The no-prize has a rich tradition in Marvel Comics history. Stan Lee created the idea of the no-prize for Marvel readers who wrote letters explaining away continuity errors. The cosplay no-prize ribbon is my way of honoring the tradition while having a little fun at Dragon Con.
