The contest contains both German dubs and original Japanese voices. Genres will range from the girly Shoujos up to bloody Horrors. The team with the most points is the winner.

 

Set of rules and how it works

You think you know your favorite Anime well? Then you can prove it here in our “Character Quiz” and guess your characters via their voices.

What is this exactly?

So what’s this all about? Really simple: You have to guess the character and the Anime just from hearing the voices. Is it impossible? No. We want to test your sense of hearing and if you know your favorite Anime well enough.

 

Ok got it and how does this work?

You will compete in a team of two. Since the places are limited, please rush ASAP to the information table and sign up. You can ether sign up as a team or in case of single sign ups we will throw the singles into a team. The process is really simple. You will hear a scene from an Anime and you have to guess which character is speaking and which Anime it is. You can choose from 4 different choices. For each right answer you will get a point.

One side thinks at black and white lace-dresses, gothic make-up, Harajuku and the Jingu Bashi. The other rather at dresses with cute motives, pastel colored wigs and cake slices on their head.
This panel will show you where this image of Lolita comes from. Like this you get an overview of all the different styles of Lolita, where the style comes from, what defines it and how it changed over the years. Of course you can expect some advices for new styles and for shopping.
The panel is for everyone, newcomers in the scene but also for the veterans. If you have question we make sure to answer them as good as we can.

If you ask Otto and Ottilie for some highlights in the Japanese cuisine, they will most likely name Sushi, Ramen or Takoyaki. But besides the famous fish and noodle dishes, Japan has a long and blooming tradition in making marvelous sweets and candies. And exactly about these “wagashi” we want to give you a better understanding.

Here you will learn about the history of these tiny edible artworks, their main ingredients and different ways of cooking., their “patrons” and their tragic story, what influence the western traditions of baking on these sweets had, what a bakery looks like in Japan (not any different than Ströck, Anker etc. here!) and learn more about some of the most famous variations of the wagashi.
We also will briefly talk about some of the companies who produce the “modern” sweets of Japan like Pokky and Co. you will also learn where you can buy those here in Vienna or for some how to make them at home by yourself.

After the presentation we will have some samples for tasting (only limited supplies).

For a good cause!
The AniNite Charity Tombola

Again this year and already for the 6th time there will be a large charity raffle again at AniNite where you can win lots of great prizes and the entire proceeds will be donated for a good cause.

Since the raffle is extremely popular at the AniNite and though we do have hundreds of prizes for you, our experience shows that we are sold out pretty fast (usually early afternoon at Saturday). So do not wait too long to buy yourself a raffle ticket and get yours on Friday or Saturday morning!

As always those raffle tickets will be 1 euro each and be from various categories (Instant wins: Mangas, books, plushies, DVDs, video games etc.; as well as big time raffle tickets for the big raffle with the valuable main prizes on stage on Sunday).

Our prizes are sponsored by companies and by many private donors, which we would like to thank at this point especially!!

The proceeds of the raffle will be donated entirely to the charity, ie organizations working for people, animals and our environment. What exactly will be is not yet known at the current time, so you are invited to make suggestions! If you project any particularly important or you will find it particularly worthy of support, then let us know!

And as far as it goes for the Aninite: Buy lots of tickets, win awesome prizes and do something good with it!

!!ATTENTION!! The raffle will be held on saturday and sunday this year!


If you want to gift us some prizes we will gladly accept this of course! We accept almost everything that is related to manga/japan/fandom in any way and still in an acceptable condition. You can contact us on animexx.de via ENS to “Akabeko” or write a mail to – if you are living in vienna we will also come to you and fetch the stuff! If you are living in any other federal state or in another country you can bring us the prizes on friday or saturday morning directly to the raffle booth. Thank you to all generous donators! :)

Theme: “When Worlds collide”

Groups:

  1. Puristen: You like to make photos, but you are unsure about your post-production-skills? Then this is the perfect group for you.
  2. Effekthascher: You know about RAW, Gradient, Layers, the Repair-tool and the many more ways how digital editing can supplement your photos? In this case you should enter in this group. All edits are only meant to supplement the original photo.
  3. EXTRA: The EXTRA-group is for all participants who want to go all-out in their edits. Show everyone what you can! Digital editing is explicitly welcome.

Rules:

General rules:

Every participant can only enter one photo into the contest.

Obscene, racist, discriminating, pornographic or out of scale violent photos are excluded from participation.

At least one cosplayer has to be clearly visible on the submission.

The participant agrees, that AniManga Austria is allowed to use the photo in context to AniNite and similar events in any media.

The submission must be at least 2000 x 3000 pixels, in JPG – format and without any visible or invisible watermark. (They will be properly labeled when used.)

In entering the contest, the participant agrees to:
  • Having read and understood the rules, and agreeing to them.
  • Having produced the photo himself/herself.
  • Having the submission explicitly made for this contest.
  • Not publishing the submission prior to the end of the contest.
  • Having all the rights for the submitted photo. (stock-material is forbidden)
  • Sending the unaltered original photo (directly out-of-cam, in JPG or RAW) in addition to the submission.
There are some additional rules for the different groups of the contest:
Puristen:
  • You are allowed to edit your photo in all ways, you could also be making in-camera. (Global effect-filters, contrast, cropping, …)
  • No further editing is allowed.
Effekthascher:
  • Post-processing is allowed. However, elements used in the post-processing must be originally produced.
EXTRA:
  • Post-processing is allowed. Elements used in the post-processing must be either originally produced or public domain and/or royalty-free. When using stock-material, the original creator of the material has to be credited.

Necessary information for entering the contest:

“In which group do you want to participate?”
“Who is on the photo?” (Which character, from which anime and which cosplayer(s))
“Who made the photo?” (Real name, pen-name and contact information)
“How does this photo relate to the contest-theme?” (Please describe the scene)

In order to making it easier for the jury to rate your effort in the post-production, it can be helpful to send screenshots of the different steps in the editing.

ATTENTION: Breaking the rules will result in disqualification from the contest!

How are the submissions rated?

The jury consists of one (cosplay-)photographer, one cosplayer one muggle (neither cosplayer nor photographer).

There will also be a referee in case of a draw.

The submissions are sent to the jury members for their personal rating without any information about the author. The jury members will then rate the photos independently. The jury-members will then have a discussion where they will inform the others about their ratings and the winners of the individual groups are decided.

There are different emphases, depending on the group you are entering the contest.
  • Puristen:
    The most important factor in this group is, how well the photo suits the theme and the composition of the scene.
  • Effekthascher:
    Additionally to the realization of the theme, the editing also influences the rating though the main focus lies on the quality of unedited photo.
  • Extra:
    The photos submitted in the Extra-group are judged on the basis of the finished photo. The quality of the post-production is equally important to the composition and how well the photo suits the theme.
A last reminder:

Please don’t break the rules. It would be a pity if I have to disqualify you, after you’ve invested time and money into your photo. In the case of small and easily corrected breaches, in submissions well before the end of the contest, I will try to contact you, in order to give you a chance to correct it.

The submissions, including all relevant attachments must be timely submitted to .

Please use a file-hoster (e.g. Dropbox, wetransfer, …) for large attachements.

Deadline is set to 31.07.15
extended until 16.08. 2015 23:59 Uhr, Local time Vienna.

If you have any questions regarding the contest, please do not hesitate to contact me by means of private messages, e-mail or by posting your question in the official facebook-group “CosplayFotoWettbewerb Aninite 2015″.

I wish you best of luck and fun,
Felix, aka. FHotografix

  • Which focal length is right for me?
  • How does an SLR camera and how is it structured?
  • How is an image made?
