Auckland Zinefest: 24 Hour Zine Challenge

Join us for our annual 24 Hour Zine Challenge!

This event is the perfect chance to dive into zinemaking with all the fun of being around other creatives, and only a little bit of time pressure!
Gather your ideas, grab some snacks, and get ready to create your very own zine from scratch in just 24 hours!

To join the challenge, just register and fill in our form via Eventfinda.

HOW IT WORKS:
1. ZINE GENRES & TOPICS DRAWN
At the library, the challenge will be explained.
Then, zine genres and topics will be drawn before the challenge starts from 2:30pm.

2. CHALLENGE STARTS @ 3PM
The challenge kicks off at the library and online. Zine planning and making begins using the genre and topic you drew.

3. THE MAKING IS ON!
If you're at the library, materials and a workspace will be provided for zinemaking until it closes at 5pm. Feel free to take your zine home with you to continue working on them after this time.

If you're participating online, you can keep in touch via Discord in the challenge chat to get feedback or ideas from others.

On Sunday, the zinemaking space will be open from 10:30am until the end of the challenge at 3pm.

4. FINISHING THE CHALLENGE
After 24 hours, the challenge ends at 3pm, where all zines must be submitted.
You can submit your zine by dropping it off to the Auckland Zinefest team at the library, or by sending us a digital scan/copy of your zine via email.

All zines that make it to the finish line will be entered into Auckland Zinefest's Best of the Fest competition where one will win 'Best 24 Hour Zine'! The winner will be announced at the Auckland Zinefest Closing Party on Saturday 31st of August.
