Best of the Fest 2022

Best of the Fest celebrates the art of making zines.

Auckland Zinefest stallholders were invited to submit their new works into the categories:

  • Best Visual Art Zine

  • Best Design Zine

  • Best Photography Zine

  • Best Political/Activist Zine

  • Best Narrative Zine

  • Best Comic

  • Best Mini Zine

  • Best of the Fest Overall

Our panel of judges were blown away by the zine submissions. Winners of their respective categories won prizes and ultimate bragging rights.

Thank you to all the talented zinemakers who submitted their works. All the zines submitted for Best of the Fest have been donated to the Auckland Libraries zine collection.
