Before you pack down for epic.TWO don't forget to print your barcode for the LAN. This helps to speed up the check-in process as we can just scan your barcode sheet rather than working out the right spelling for your nickname!

To print your barcode go to My Account -> Event Bookings and you'll see the option there.

Also remember that if don't look clearly over 18 you will be asked to prove your age so that you can use the bar facilities at the LAN, so make sure you bring some sort of approved ID to the event.

Not long now, see you all on Thurs!

We're on a roll here! Our next mini competition for epic.TWO is called "Capture the LAN" and this one is for you budding photographers out there!

This one is quite simple, all you have to do is take a photograph and submit it to a folder on the FTP at the LAN. The photograph has to be something that captures the atmosphere of an epic.LAN and sums it up in one single image.

So this one wont be judged on who has the biggest camera, but more about who snaps that moment that just captures what epic.LAN is all about! Once again, we'll find a prize for the winner and show off some of the best entries in our gallery. Closing will be 12noon on the Sunday of epic.TWO.

Here's a chance for you to show off your creative skills at epic.TWO!

At some point on Friday at epic.TWO we will be making an announcement and releasing a number of media files for you to work with to create a short video about that announcement. There will then be 24 hours in which to make and submit a video (max 3mins) which will then be shown and judged during the quiz on Saturday night.

The winner of this competition will win one of the prizes from our event sponsors!

Watch out on the friday of epic.TWO for more details!
