DerpCon Winner - Singapore


Singapore chose it's winners for DerpCon recently and the winners are lucky Randi (ranisashark) aged 22 and she will be taking her friend Terryin (terrxtard) aged 18.

The initial entry that Singapore had to do was create a superhero power and costume and submit it with a picture or video via Instagram with the hashtag #987derpconsg. After this 20 entries were shortlisted for mall auditions at the mall called VivoCity.

At the mall auditions Randi explains to me "We had 1 minute to explain our superhero power through either a skit,dance,song or anything to impress the judges who were 987fm radio DJs. We also had to be dressed in our superhero costumes that we had created."


Randi then explains to me what her and her friends superhero costumes inspiration was: "We went with a space themed costume, which we handmade ourselves. We became the 'Galactic Defenders' as we were inspired by the photos of nebula the band were posting before the announcement of DerpCon and also everyday heroes such as astronauts and the police."

For their actual costume, Randi told me; "We had the idea of using jetpacks instead of capes for our superheros as it went with the space theme. I then also designed a NASA inspired 5SOS logo for our costumes as well."

"For our mall audition we put on a short sketch, and somehow we made it to the top 3!" You can really see how much effort the girls have put in to their costumes!!


After this round the top 3 entrants were selected for the final which was a Q&A round. The question that was asked was "In what year was 5SOS formed?"

"I got the question correct and the other 2 girls did not get it right so I won!" Randi explains.


She also tells me "It feels so surreal, I am still in awe that I have won!"

Congratulations to the girls once again, have an amazing time at DerpCon! :D
