A CELEBRATION OF FANDOM & CREATIVITY
AN EVENT THAT CELEBRATES THE ISLAND’S POP CULTURE
Comic conventions have become a cultural phenomenon across the globe, and fans of all things pop culture celebrate them in numbers. Cyprus is no exception and the annual Comic Con event, held in Nicosia, has expanded each subsequent year, growing in popularity, and becoming a global event. The event has successfully created a platform for local and international creators to feature their work with ever-increasing numbers of guests, panels, workshops, and activities.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF CYPRUS COMIC CON
The event aims to celebrate comic culture and foster a community amongst enthusiasts in Cyprus. The very first Cyprus Comic Con event was launched in 2014 and began as a modest affair in comparison to the event held today. Over the years, it has significantly grown in scope and popularity, attracting not just local attendees, but also international guests and exhibitors. Cyprus Comic Con has become known for its inclusiveness, welcoming a diverse audience and highlighting local talent alongside renowned international figures in the comic and entertainment industry.
VARIOUS ACTIVITIES
There will also be several tournaments and competitions, with some offering prizes. Participants can dress up as any character from a sci-fi film or an anime character during the event and some will be allowed to perform on stage. There will also be a chance to connect with local board game creators, artists, and hobbyists, who will be readily available in their popup booths, featuring their latest designs and creations. Visitors will also be encouraged to try their hand at a variety of classic games that include limit break gaming. The convention also includes a film festival and pro wrestling and the artist alleys and creative corridor will be featuring the latest works by several artisans and creators. Photo opportunities and book signings, with a host of special guests, will also be available, as well as tabletop games, hobby workshops, and a kid’s zone. The live stage will be offering the Mediterranean Cosplay Championship and Cosplay Masquerade, as well as live music and a food and drink festival is going to be held in the event’s foreground.
