Euskal Encounter 12 international Demoscene presentation

What is Euskal Encounter 12?

You may have heard about Euskal Party, if so it's the same party but we changed the name last year. :-)

Euskal is a party held yearly in the Basque Country (northern Spain, besides France). This year it is the 12th time we have a Euskal.

Euskal started as an Amiga scene party and opened to PC in its third edition. Time has changed things a lot and currently it isn't a scene-only party, but demoscene is a key part of it. Last year we had more than 500 people interested in demoscene, including almost all active spanish sceners and demogroups.

We think that it is important to share a party with non-sceners, both to show the demoscene creativity outside and to get new people interested in the scene.

These are some demogroups that attended last year:

  • BoaH
  • Dust Inc
  • Fuzzion
  • Iguana
  • Level 64
  • Mankind
  • Network
  • rgba
  • Software Failure
  • Spöntz
  • Stravaganza
  • Threepixels
  • The Lords Of The Bits - TLOTB

As you can see, some of them were nominated for Scene.org Awards 2002 and 2003.
