Kitacon and Minami updates

Article by Kat Black (Del) posted Saturday 20th March 2010

Spring is here and the con season is starting to get into full swing. As such we have a few updates from the early conventions of the year - Kitacon and Minamicon.

With Kitacon just around the corner a lot of you will no doubt be frantically sewing. In your panic though, don't forget to register for their events - the masquerade, the cosplay competition and Kita's Got Talent. The deadline for Kita's got talent is Wednesday 24th March, whilst the masquerade submission deadline is 11am on Saturday 27th. Register now and don't miss out! All the information and the registration forms for the events can be found on the cosplay section of their website.

For those of you heading to Minamicon in April, the masquerade registrations have now opened! If you want to pre-register before the event, online registration will be open until midday Saturday 17th April. For any questions or queries, drop an email through to the team at cosplay16@minamicon.org.uk.

Due to popular demand both of these events are sold out so if you haven't got a ticket I'm afraid you'll need to wait for the next one. Don't worry about being left without an event to plan for though, May Expo is just around the corner...

Amecon 2010 registrations open this Monday!

Article by Tom Phillips (drowned_panda) posted Saturday 13th February 2010

Registrations for the biggest UK anime convention of 2010 - Amecon - open this Monday (15th February).

Held at Keele University near Newcastle-under-Lyme, the convention will run from 13th - 15th August with a capacity of 1000+. Onsite accommodation will be available to book upon registering.

For those who have not been to Amecon before, I thoroughly recommend attending. It is a weekend of pure anime joy from panels, guests, screenings, dealers and some of the best parties you will ever go to! Cosplay is also huge at Amecon, with the vast majority of attendees wearing it and then strutting their stuff at the always popular masquerade. The final night also plays host to a formal Cosplay Ball, which is a great way to round off the weekend.

For those of you who have been before, you know it'll be awesome!

I'm sure you all join me on Monday in registering for the event on their website here - http://www.amecon.org.uk
