 Overload (the Doujin Overload) was set up based on conversations in the Auckland doujin community about helping local artists showcase and sell their work, specifically inspired by the Comiket in Japan.The convention has run as a single-day event every year apart from 2011 when it took place over two days.Aside from the sale of artists' work, it includes a comic competition (from 2012), an art exhibition (since 2012) and cosplay competition (since 2010).
