What is Pressplaycon?

Anime and gaming have been a huge social influence in community leisure. It extends back to generations from the early 80s until now. It is perhaps the main influence that does not define a person’s skin, culture, sex, or religion. In today’s society where racism and fascism are slowly impacting societal work and lifestyle, it is pertinent to sway people’s mindset from all the negativity and simply have them focus on what matters most in life, which is enjoying human fellowship and the interests we share together. 

“Press Play!” is a fundraising event hosted by John F. Kennedy High School. All funds will go to its respective clubs and organizations to meet their goals for the school year. Businesses or companies may participate by becoming sponsors for the event. Sponsorship includes the following; monetary or prize donation. If companies choose monetary sponsorship, they can have the option to sell items during the event. This sponsorship will reserve a booth area for them to display products, services, or advertisement concerning their business or company. If companies choose prize sponsorship, they will have a booth area strictly reserved for them for displaying purposes. However, they are not given the option to sell. Most of the time, it may involve non-profits or Facebook groups who promote their causes. The prizes will be use as incentives for gaming tournaments held at the event. 

The convention primarily consists of the following; Cosplay costume contest, live art competition, anime and gaming art displays, interactive photo op zone, food and item sales at discounted prices, hourly gaming tournaments, and trivia games. Dependent on sponsors, the activities can expand even further. People may dress up as their favorite anime or gaming character. However, because this is a school function, costumes must be tasteful. Guests who come to the convention showing sexually explicit attire, vulgarity, inappropriate propaganda, or simply for the sake of stupidity and daringness will be asked to leave and escorted out. But, with all that said, keep in mind that the convention should be family-friendly and is meant to gather people to enjoy their favorite past time anime and gaming influences, as well as have fun with the company of others. So, if you’re ready to join us, then “PRESS PLAY!” and let the games begin!!
