The Eirtakon committee has announced the return of our hugely sucessful Bring N Buy zone, first introduced at Eirtakon 07 MK II last November.

The rules are simple enough - If you have stuff to sell and think you can fill a table with it, get in touch with us! You will have to register at the front desk (this is simply so we know how much space we need) and you will also be subject to the same rules as the traders which are:

1 - No Bootlegs! All merchandise must me officially licensed products, we will be willing to make exceptions for fan works but they must be approved first.

Eirtakon 08 is pleased to announce our first annual Anime Music Video (AMV) Competition! The competition will run as part of Eirtakon 08, to be held in The Hub in Dublin City University on the weekend of November 14th-16th.

AMVs are a popular form of fan work that involves taking scenes from anime and editing them together and setting them to music, providing the perfect setting for anime fans to show how in tune they are with their favourite shows!
