There is no theme but at least 51% of the stuff on your table should be zines. If however you want to dress up in say a spooky way we will wholeheartedly support you and may see what we can cook up in the zinefest cauldron.

• * Perzine
• * Comedy
• * Trans
• * Te Ao Māori
• * Info
• * Poetry
• * Comics
• * Political

Prizes will be awarded at the official Zinefest After Party, more deets to come
