Date and Time
Date: 15 & 16 August 2009
Time: 10am - 7pm
I'm pretty sure most asks us about the event date. Due to the current world economy recession, we're playing safe by delaying the event further so that we have more time to approach sponsors and organize more fund-raising events ( yes, we do fund-raising events. EMiNA is a poor club ya know. Lol ). We tried our best to avoid having the same date with CosFest and fasting month. Look at the bright side, you have more time to prepare that killer costume or watever you're planning on ^_^. Anyway, we're really sorry about date if it upsets you T_T.
Don't worry, we are just trying to stick with our "we don't organize sucky event" committee motto. With more time, we'll be able to organize the event better than before ^_^.
Please don't kill us T_T
Venue
Venue: To be Announced
Yes, we realize that our event was too big to be held in the same exam hall ( what can we say? free venue is very... tempting ~ ) This time, say goodbye to "overcrowdedness", "lack-of-oxygen", "i-can't-feel-the-aircond" and "I-CAN'T-MOVE!!" as we will organize this event in a bigger hall. Don't worry, we know you cosplayers hate shopping complexes XD.
With bigger hall, we'll be able to cater our growing crowd. More space for everything too ( and we can finally fit in moar art/doujin booths. ).
We'll announce the venue soon.
Update
Moar Information
We finally launched the website, loaded with precious information! Visit http://whatisgacc.com
I hope you guys enjoyed our April Fool joke ( if you missed it, you can still visit it at http://ninjinnews.com ) Also, we released a Teaser Video in celebration of the newly launched website! Click here to view it.
SUGGEST!
We want YOUR SUGGESTION to make YOUR EVENT better. Visit http://icanhas.whatisgacc.com and drop us your suggestions. We will try our best to cater your NEEDS. ^_^
NEW Cosplay Competition Format!
Take note that we have a new Cosplay Competition format called "Multi Cosplayer Competition". Some characters are best to go on stage as a duo or couple, now this is your chance! You're no longer alone on stage now.
You only can join either one, you can't join both.
Update
Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga Attack
A special performance by the GACC committee: the 10 minutes long Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga performance. Get involved in this massive sing-a-long session.
Dance Madness Fest
Due to popular demand, we are proud to announce our latest Stage Entertainment agenda: Dance Madness Fest.
Our special volunteers will start the dance session on the stage while we will turn the entire floor into a dance floor on second day ( between S&M cosplay competition and result announcement ). Everyone's invited into this madness.
The dance are as follows in order:
- Hare Hare Yukai ( opening )
- Cirno's Perfect Maths Class
- Love and Joy
- Caramelldansen ( finale )
More information will be revealed soon on 1st May 2009 @ whatisgacc.com, including on how to be part of the special volunteers.
More dances will be added to the list soon
Update
Venue Update
In the spirit of keeping the event free to encourage the participation of non-ACG goers to GACC, the GACC Committee has decided to keep the event in the same venue as the previous events.
Exam Hall + Extension Library, Multimedia University Melaka Campus.
We are holding strong to our tradition not to charge anyone to fulfill their curiosity of the happenings inside the hall, while also giving everyone the freedom to come and go as they please without security checks.
For GACC2009, the Extension Library ( building connected next to Exam Hall ) will be available as it was back in GACC2006.
Although currently it's confirmed to be in the Exam Hall, the GACC Committee are still looking for suitable alternate venue that could perfectly host GACC2009 and it's Chibi Matsuri event.
Taiko no Tatsujin Competition
Yes, you read that right. The hot rumor ever since GACC2008 came to live. GACC2009 is proud to announce the first Taiko no Tatsujin competition in any ACG events in Malaysia. Yeap, we will be bring the Taiko machine to our venue just for this special occasion!
Time to show off that 1337skill0rz of your drumming.
Touhou: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody Tournament
For fun sake, we are introducing a 2nd Doujin Game tournament - Touhou: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody. A versus fighting spin-off of the popular Touhou Project series. Oh, it's soo going to be fun watching you guys at this. >:D
New Doujin Booth Concept
This year we are implementing an experimental concept for doujin booth. Instead of renting out booth, we are renting out spaces.
This will increase the space efficiency of the limited space in the hall and at the same time increase the number of doujin circle participation. Hopefully this method will encourage collaborations between doujin circles.
However, due to the limited space, we are implementing strict approval and not implementing "first come first serve basis". Approval depends on the items you're selling, and level of collaboration. We will also balance the type of items being sold.
Doujin circles are free to do whatever they want with the space. Partition boards are provided and tables are optional for free. Make your own mini-exhibition if you want to.
Space renters are allowed to enter the hall during pre-event night for booth setups ( the committees will be working overnight till next morning, so take your time ). This will ensure that you have enough time to work with you booth and ensuring everything is ready by 10am.
More details and registration will be announced, soon.
Bear in mind that this method is still experimental and feedbacks are highly required to ensure that this method works fine. You can also discuss it with us at gacc2009@gmail.com.
AMV Competition
Let loose that video editting skills of yours.
The challenge is to make an Anime Music Video which is less than 5 minutes long. The scoring will be based on editing method used ( 50% ) and entertainment value ( 50% ).
Registration details will be announced soon.
The dateline for video submission is 1st of August 2009.
PSP Lan Zone
Nothing big but worth to be announced, we are setting up a PSP Lan Zone for those PSP fanboys. A game of Monster Hunter anyone?
The GACC Grand Freeze
The GACC Committee has given a green light to a suggestion from icanhas.whatisgacc.com - The Grand Freeze.
The information will be released to Comic Fiesta forumers only and will not be announced anywhere else including our website. The GACC Security squad will be helping out to ensure the freeze goes smoothly.
Special Guest from Japan
Despite random rumors flying around, we are proud to be clarify that we are NOT having 'Hatsune Miku' as our special guest from Japan. The Hatsune Miku on the site, on the GACClite tshirt, and Hatsune Miku song used for DaiCon teaser that were made by the GACC committee are just coincidental. Really. I hope that clears out everything
