GAMMA.CON is a not-for-profit event organised and run by a dedicated group of volunteers known as the Team GAMMA.CON. Team GAMMA.CON is focused on supporting the local and interstate anime and gamer community. This includes the promotion of independent and grass-roots designers, developers and producers.
The 2018 festival will be held on the 4th – 5th of August at the Canberra Exhibition Park.
GAMMA.CON SCI-FI AND FANTASY STORY COMPETITION Supported by ACT Writers Centre
Writing a sci-fi or fantasy story could win you $150!
Long before movies, TV and video games, we got our fix of super humans, fantasy settings and terrifying monsters through the magic of the written word. Fantasy and Sci-Fi novels created the first pop-culture fans and these genres have endured to this day.
GAMMA.CON, with the support of the ACT Writers Centre, are showing respect to the wonders of ink on paper with the GAMMA.CON Sci-fi and Fantasy Story Competition!
