What scares you the most?

Are you afraid of your own shadow?

What about the dark and twisted creature that lurks in the most corrupt parts of your imagination?

We want to see it!

The Worst Nightmare Art competition is an open medium competition with two age categories:

 You can draw, sculpt, paint, photograph and create anything that your dark mind can think of. All entries must be submitted by e-mail to convention@the-arcade.ie.

Your e-mail should include three photographs/scans of the object, your name, age, date of birth and a title of the piece you submitted. By sending the e-mail you agree that the work submitted is entirely your own.

 Only  the work of artists who are attending the convention will be displayed and judged for a prize.

 All work must be submitted by 8th July!

ArcadeCon can’t run on its own, and to date, we’ve had a fantastic team of gamers, Otaku, geeks, fanboys and girls driving the con to be one of the biggest and most successful conventions in Ireland.

However, there is only so much a handful of us can do and we need your help to make sure that the weekend goes off without a hitch, that everyone enjoys themselves and that the most fun is had by all who attend.
