Friends

At the end of the day, it’s about being with your friends – old and new. Talking, laughing and enjoying yourself. We have visitors from all around the world, and you should not be afraid of arriving without knowing anyone — at the end of the event it’s not unlikely you’ve made friends for life.

features_tents

At one with nature – sort of

At Solskogen, it is customary to sleep in tents. There is nothing quite like that grassy field combined with computers and all-round awesomeness. It’s also possible to sleep inside the venue, should you be hindered from bringing your own tent. You can also bring your pimped out caravan or camper-van!

features_compos

Awesome competitions

In the evenings there are compos – really awesome compos! Battle it out with your friends and foes in everything from graphics, music, demos, size-coding and more.

features_soccer

Soccer tournament

The soccer tournament has become a not-to-be-missed event during Solskogen. Get your team together and show us what’s what! See mom, it’s not just about computers!

features_concerts

Concerts

With hard beats and bass, the concerts at Solskogen are not to be missed! We’ve always had great acts and bands performing and this year will be no exception. Lineup will be announced shortly!

features_bbq

Free BBQ for everyone

We’ve always been proud of our free BBQ feast on Saturday during the party, before the compo-night begins. It’s been a fixed feature since our first event in 2002. This year is no different – sponsored by ARM Multimedia Processing Division for the 5th year in a row — we love you!

Why should I come to Solskogen?

Solskogen is an awesome demo party, and the only one held during the summer in Norway. We’ve been around since 2002 (that’s right, this year is our 10-year anniversary!) and we are hosting a wide range of competitions for all the active platforms, such as the Commodore 64, Atari, Amiga and PC. You don’t have to be an active demoscener to attend – anyone interested in creative uses of computers are welcome!

Where? How?

It takes place in Ås, just 30 minutes outside of Oslo, the capital of Norway. At the location you can bring your tent to sleep among the stars (we have a large soccer field attached to the party place) or you can sleep inside. Showering and toilet facilities are of course on-site.

I’m still not entirely convinced..

Need further incentives? Okay - free BBQ for everyone! That’s right: everyone who attends the party will not only get to hang out with awesome people for a weekend during the summer, but you’ll also get to attend the free BBQ feast we host on the Saturday during the party — the BBQ even features vegetarian options and dessert!

Awesomesauce, I’m so in!
