Azerbaijani Anime Convention, (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan Anime Konvensiyası), or simply AzeCON, is an annual anime convention held in Azerbaijan. It is the first and only anime convention in Azerbaijan.[1] The main goal of the convention is to bring together all of the anime, manga/comics and modern Japanese culture fans in Azerbaijan. There were six AzeCONs held since its debut.

The convention was intended to be held twice a year, in summer and winter, but at the end, it became annual. Anime conventional entertainments include: karaoke, just dance, treasure hunting, stage show, Japanese anime café, video games, animanga-themed stands, cosplay competition, and photo sessions.[1] A cosplay contest is held in two nominations, individual and team.[2] The mascot of the convention is a female anime character called "Ayna".[3]
