Press and Media Registration
Writing an article about the sub-cultures of anime and cosplay is best done at AnimeCon, the longest running Dutch anime convention.
Members of the Nederlandse Vereniging van Journalisten can get a free Press badge through the V.I.P. line at the registration desk during the festival. Please do bring your NVJ-Perskaart. Members of comparable international organizations are advised to contact us in advance so we can check your credentials. If comparable, we will grant you a free Press badge in advance which you can also pick up during the festival at the registration desk. We do not have a comparable arrangement for freelance photographers without press credentials.
To sign up, fill in our contact form through the button below. We will process your application as soon as possible and inform you per email. Make sure you've read the house rules. We ask that all visitors, including press, apply for a bag permit as we generally do not allow large bags in several areas of the festival. Applying can be done via mail when signing up or at the festival's registration desk.

Gerwin Derks
Gerwin has been working as an amateur photographer for the past 18 years. For the past 9 years he has been working as a staff member of the photography and media department at the J-POP Foundation. This means that you can easily see him walking around on the AnimeCon floor with his camera, to shoot cool pictures for us, which you will then see reflected on our website and/or social media. And if you are now also a fan of VR Chat, Gerwin has also specialized in social VR photography for the past 2 years.

Nico Janssen
The first time AnimeCon was organized in the Broodfabriek, the permanent photographers of AnimeCon were unfortunately not available, but luckily Nico Jansen was our savior (photographer) in need.
Nico's photographic passion is about people. Real people who really enjoy; he therefore focuses on parties, conferences, weddings and, more recently, stock and commercial photography. He is based on authenticity and liveliness.
