KFF is a volunteer-run, community-centric expo-style event celebrating cosplay, pop-art, performance, and more.
After successful events in 2021 and 2022, we are back for round three. The following are our overarching goals for the event:
- Promote local talent, businesses and beautiful Christchurch City;
- Champion inclusivity, represent the diversity in our community and maintain low barriers to entry;
- Grow our community, inspire our attendees, and help fans from all walks of life make real connections.
Whats on the menu for this KFF event?
- A packed stage program featuring talents and skills across our community,
- An art and craft market where you can peruse an eclectic collection of handmade fandom goods,
- A photo wall for capturing your cosplay in action
What else do we need?
We are on the hunt for the following!
Cosplayers to attend - obviously!
A team of volunteers to help plan and co-ordinate the event on the day
Photographers and videographers to capture every moment
Passionate speakers, panelists and workshop leaders in the industry (design, arts, gaming, photography)
Performers of any kind
Artists, makers, and creators of nerdy goods to table in our mini artist alley
Local businesses who want to showcase at the event
If you're interested in participating in any of the above, give us a follow at @kowhaifanfest on instagram, tiktok and facebook, where we will be posting all the deets about how to get involved. We can only accept people on a volunteer basis, but we aim to make it a fun experience and collaborate with you on your goals too.
