The 2019 Rand Show has announced that it will host the Fornite Gaming Tournament and Dance Off, with R100 000 in prizes up for grabs.

“We have purposely re-injected on trend content into the experience, to appeal to a wider range of visitors. Gaming is an extremely important part of youth and even family culture now,” explained the organisers in a press release.

According to the announcement, the Gaming Pavilion will be “an immersive environment of gaming, cosplay and dance”.

Potential players can register online for the tournament starting 25 February.

Cosplay competitions in beginner, intermediate and experienced levels will also be held during the course of the event.
