2009 was our fifth event. We received some really positive feedback and many valuable comments. Our first round of improvements are a direct result from listening to what you had to say immediately after the convention.
No More Registration Computers We thought we were being high-tech but they ended up slowing down the registration process as people figured out the three-step process. (Will Call was extra happy they didn't have to register.) Next year in the lobby, walk up; buy your badge; done.
Credit Cards Accepted Remember those registration computers? They'll be tied to PayPal and can be used to make payment on-site using any major debit or credit card.
Super Hero Sunday Expanded! Villain and Hero categories with Adult and Child groups. Everybody can now play in this full-fledged event.
New Costume Contest Category #1 Robots and Mechs have swept the Sci-Fi category for years. They now have their own category, allowing us to award MORE winners!
New Costume Contest Category #2 Costumers who spend hours hand sewing their costume may not be given their due since sewing is so easilly overlooked amongst the crafted costumers. Contestents of any category may hop over into the "Hand Sewn" category if their costume has not been constructed using a sewing machine. A qualifying judge will inspect costumes in this category to verify eligibility. Any costume which fails qualification may be entered into any other appropriate category.
