## Contestants

[edit]

Like in the previous seasons, the sixth season included 10 contestants. Children had until 20 November 2021 to send ProSieben drawings of costumes they would like to see for season 6. One mask from the submissions would appear as a costume in season six. The production chose the drawing of 10-year-old Emma, who had painted the Brilli mask.[10] The most labor-intensive costume was the Dornteufel with 1000 hours of work,[11] the easiest was the Seestern.[12] In the second episode on 26 March 2022, Galax'Sis could not appear because the celebrity in this character was sick with COVID-19.[13]
