ARCHCon aims to provide an opportunity for hobbyists to engage in their hobbies together and to stir up interest in such hobbies. The first convention was held in Ayala Center two years ago; the second at SM. This year's event includes the following:

1. Hobbies Exhibition— Hobbies-related goods will be presented by sponsors.
2. Tournaments— Hobbyist tournaments will be held, like Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon, VS Cards and Mageknights. Cash and trophies will be awarded.
3. Comics Exhibition— Local comics will be presented by creators.
4. Costume Contests— Cosplays— two age categories, two cash prizes per category (for Male and for Female) —will be held.
5. Animes Exhibition— Current popular (and potentially popular) animes and anime music videos will be shown.
6. PlayStation 2 Games— Fighting video console games, where everyone will take turns challenging each other, will be provided.
7. Drawing Contests— Competitions in pencilling characters from comic-books or animes will be held.
8. Raffle— Door prizes will be given.

There will be a small entrance fee (amount will not be stated here), which will be used for charitable causes.

SLICK! will join the event, selling its comics at a discount (amount will...aw, you guessed it).

Posters announcing the event and its details will be distributed to schools in Metro Cebu soon.

SHS-J is located at Gen. Maxilom Ave. in Metro Cebu.

P.S.: I posted first, Johnny A, haha!

kung mag cosplay ko, charge ghapon o entrance?

It is my understanding that all visitors, contestants or not, are not exempted from this small entrance charge. If you want to know how much, just send me a private message, as stating it publicly is a violation to this part of the forums.

The fee may change, though, but I'll keep you updated.

Thanks.

Feast!

ABOUT THE COSPLAY

SHS-J is a Catholic school-- characters, costumes, the manner of acting out, the language and whatnot related to the cosplay will expectedly be regulated. As with other educational institutions, the school has its own dress code for all visitors to observe, cosplayer or not.

Please be guided accordingly.

Yes, I forgot to inform you that this year's convention will be held on school grounds.

Thank you.

True, true, if titillating cosplays are the only fun cosplays, this cosplay might not be fun.

Thanks.

Thanks, man.

The club moderator, Sir Michael Abello, is a friend of John Amor, who is also an alumni of SHS-J. John's busy making the poster for the event with other former SuKoL members. In fact, former SuKoL members are supervising the events.

SLICK! will be conducting basic drawing tutorials (as well as help supervise the drawing contests), as a rehearsal for Toyphilia this December.

Hey, maybe you can sell some books you like to sell at our booth?

Feast!

@HbH: Pwede? How much of the proceeds should go to charity? Biblical tithe? Okay ra ko I need the money to buy a drawing table. I don't have a comfortable spot at home to draw.
