Animaga media passes
For the first time ever, Animaga is coming to Sydney, and Media & Creator applications are now officially open for this landmark event at ICC Sydney.
Every year, Animaga becomes a living collection of unforgettable moments. From breathtaking cosplay reveals and emotional reunions between friends, to bustling artist alley discoveries, spontaneous fan meetups, and once-in-a-lifetime shots you simply had to witness in person — these are the stories that define Animaga. Behind the lens, the microphone, and the notepad, it is our media team that preserves those moments and shares them with the world.
Animaga Sydney 2026 will unite anime, gaming, cosplay, artists, performances, special guests, and fan culture on a massive scale. We are inviting photographers, videographers, journalists, streamers, bloggers, and content creators to join us in documenting this historic Sydney debut from the inside.
If you create content around anime, gaming, cosplay, and fandom culture, this is your opportunity to become part of Animaga’s story and help introduce Sydney’s first Animaga to audiences across Australia and beyond.
