Animaga returns to its home city for 2026, and we are preparing to welcome the journalists and photographers who document the highlights of our community. While Media Pass applications are not yet live, we invite you to start preparing your portfolios for our return to the MCEC.

Every year, Animaga serves as a collection of unforgettable experiences. From detailed cosplay builds and emotional reunions to the discovery of new works in the Artist Alley, these moments define our event. The media team plays a crucial role in preserving these memories and sharing the atmosphere of the convention with a global audience.

Whether you focus on photography, videography, or journalism, this is your chance to document the MCEC experience from the inside. We look forward to seeing how you help bring the Melbourne event to life for fans everywhere.
