FANDOM 2017: Lankan Geeks; Assemble
View(s):Call on your silent or colourfully deafening geek at FANDOM 2017, a day of ‘magic and madness’ organised by The Rotaract Club of CFPS Law School. The carnival is scheduled to be held on Nov. 19, at the Royal College Primary Grounds, from 1:30 p.m. onwards. The event kicks off, with the first ever ‘Muggle Quidditch Cup’ in Sri Lanka followed by the mysterious ‘Sphinx Trials’ and Junk Cosplay Wars. Teams of seven can register prior to the carnival to participate in the games.
Alongside these exciting challenges, the event will host food stalls, merchandise stalls and even game stalls to enhance the carnival atmosphere. Spectators will be entertained with live DJ music and a live orchestra playing a series of tracks from well-known fandoms. Further, the public has the option to cosplay as their favorite characters and model on the ramps. Engage in LARPing sessions and relive the days of one’s favorite fantasy characters and meet other kindred spirits.
The evening promises rewards at an awards ceremony; followed by an after party complete with DJ music. “The project not only intends to facilitate the growth of the budding geek culture in Sri Lanka, but also help the community at large with the proceeds collected from it,” a statement from the organisers said.
To immerse one’s self in the magic of Harry Potter and Naruto, and more FANDOM 2017 will be the place to be and release one’s inner geek from within.
