TICKETS & SHIRTS
Help us plan, buy now!

🎟️ Evoke is powered by you - the sooner you grab your ticket, the easier it is for us to make this year’s edition the best it can be. Your early support helps us plan, prep, and sleep at night knowing that people are coming. So if you can, help us out by visiting our ticket shop!

👕For the first time, we are also offering T-Shirt preorders! Ordering your shirt now means no more disappointment of finding out that your size has been sold out while you were waiting for your turn in the queue. We won’t spoil the design, but you know it will be rad (and printed and designed locally, right here in Köln-Kalk)!

Get Ready for 💃 Los Pat Moritas 🪩👾!

Deliciously combining Latin and Video Game music, Nahuel, aka Los Pat Moritas, is coming to Evoke with a Gameboy, a heart full of love and the intention of bringing people together through musical moments of joyful connection.

💖 Consider this an invitation to freshen up on your finest (and dorkiest) moves - they all are welcome on our Dancefloor!✨

Livecoding meets AMIIIGAA! This year, we’re proudly presenting world‘s first Copper Showdown - and we want you to show us what you can do with it!

Brought to life by mop2 of Akronyme Analogiker, Copper Showdown follows a well-established routine: You compete on stage against others (and the clock!), with a DJ providing the soundtrack to the battle. Once the clock runs out, our visitors get to vote and decide who will be our first Copper Champion! (Yes, there will be a shiny trophy🏆)

The best part? Copper is for everyone! No Amiga, or prior knowledge required. All you need to do to discover you new passion is to download the tool and examples from our website and see for yourself!

Interested? Check out the information on the website (and there's even a Discord!)

Copper Showdown! Awesome! <3 I am so looking forward to Evoke :)

Evoke invit by Ozan/TEK :)

Evoken geht immer !

One man, one modular rack and oh so many cables: Demoscene, meet WEDER!
Originating from Hamburg he is taking on the journey to Evoke to bless us with his signature sound. Expect intricate rhythms in a symbiosis of digital and organic soundscapes, raw energy and pure love emitting from every note.

Can’t wait to be there.

Have just booked flights & hotel. Great to visit Evoke again! :)

Man, the visual identity for Evoke is rough.

(psyched to be there!)

And we're psyched to see you again very very soon! :)



Reminder for our friends far away that while we'd much more prefer to see you in person, we accept remote entries in the One Screen ANSI/ASCII and 3D Scene compos and would love to see your creations on our Bigscreen!
To submit your entry you can simply use the form linked in the respective compo rules section on the website. The deadline is 13th of August.

May the last minute inspiration find you all!

⚠️COMPO MACHINE UPDATE⚠️

Our compo machine got a beefy upgrade and will now feature a RTX 6000 gfx card.
PC sceners - make it purr!😻

(To save you some research: Yes, that's the same model Revision uses.)

Full compo specs (and other helpful information) here.

Our invitation is UP and so are our spirits! Much much love to the team, thank you so much for surprising us at Nordlicht 🧡

And now to the jumpscare part:

PSA: EVOKE IS IN 17 DAYS. GO MAKE A DEMO.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!

🎆 Yes, you read that right: We're announcing A DRONE SHOW!

In collaboration with LANG AG and Kulturhof Kalk e.V., we’re thrilled to bring you an airborne light spectacle on Friday Night.

Don't miss this magic moment. See you outside!

Then I hope there's at least one drone-entry in the Wild-compo! ;o)

Two weeks to go! Do you feel the deadline jitters yet? (We do.)
While we count the days, here are a few things you can do now to take care of your future self:

🎟️ Get your ticket and shirt now! 👕
Our shirts always sell out fast – if you want to make sure that your size will be waiting for you at the infodesk, buy now! As an additional bonus for speedrunners, we will have a separate queue at the infodesk for those who have prepaid their t-shirt. It will be faster!

Important: The deadline for ordering shirts is Tuesday, August 5th.

📖 Read the compo rules!
Check out this year's Tracked Music theme, the Pixel Graphics palette🎨 and take note of our strict No AI (and we mean it) policy.
Questions? Shoot us a mail, or ask us in our discord channel over at the Demoscene Server!

And most importantly...

🎉 Have Fun!
Yeah, we know: Deadlines are creping closer, but don't forget to take care of yourself to nurture your creativity. You can do it!

It may sound like pedantry, but I don't think so: What is exactly "AI inspired"? I find this term very vague. Most of us agree that AI generated art is not art. But being *inspired* by AI generated art is neither wrong nor possible to detect or filter out. Some AI images are really interesting or outright good. How is it wrong to get inspiration from them? And what is inspiration in the first place?

it basically means: "don't upload slop. if you're in doubt whether it's allowed or not, reach out and show us your technique."

why is that 2 smaller??!?!!?!? it hurts my typographic ocd!

I think that's called... typography?
