Showing #2: Karaoke Night

This week, we will begin previewing the season’s new anime! We will spend this Friday and the next sampling several new series before sending out a survey to determine which anime we’ll follow for the rest of the term.

Warm up your vocal cords: this week’s activity is one of the club’s all-time favorites- Karaoke Night! To ensure that everyone gets a chance to sing, we will be using a simple queuing system on the chalkboard and limiting each person to one or two songs until everyone has had a turn. All skill levels are accepted; you do NOT need to be a professional to participate! Need a partner (or partners) to sing a certain song with you? Try asking on our Facebook Group!

5:00 – 6:30 : Fall Season Anime Previews
6:30 – 7:00 : Dinner Break

Term 1 Art Contest: Anthropomorphism

Anthropomorphism is the theme of our first art contest and is defined as “attribution of human form or other characteristics to anything other than a human being”. Meaning, this art contest is centred around the idea of making non-human forms more human-like!

The rules for this art contest are simple:

  1. You may submit multiple entries.
  2. Entries can be any medium: Black-and-white, sketched, digital, etc.
  3. All submissions must be completely original. This means no content from any anime, manga or any other copyrighted material (i.e Gijinkas from Digimon, Pokemon, etc.)
  4. Entries can depict any object of your choice in human form (e.g. a cellphone shown as a girl), but it must be tasteful meaning no nudity, sexuality, gore, etc.

The winner will be decided based upon two criteria: Creative design and skill.

The deadline to submit is the showing on November 22nd. Submissions can be emailed directly to us at info@ubcani.com or given to us at any of our events until the deadline.

The UBC Anime Club executive team reserves all rights to disqualify submissions at their discretion if any of the above requirements are not met.
