Hey everyone! Updates started rolling out pretty early this year and we don’t want you to miss out if you weren’t looking for them! Here are some reminders for upcoming deadlines!

Staff Applications:

Join the Ohayocon Staff and discover just how amazing it can be on the other side of the veil– every year our staffers pull together a show that thousands enjoy from thin air and we want you to be part of the magic trick! Staffers get a room for the weekend (shared with up to four others), a shirt, a special staff badge, 2 meals a day, exclusive meet-n-greets with guests and so much more! We’re looking for individuals who want to throw a great party, prioritize the fun of attendees, and have a pretty good customer service face.

Applications extended to Halloween (eek!), read more and APPLY HERE!

AMV League:

Once again we’re hosting the illustrious Vitamin H to run our AMV competition! Join the AMV League and duke it out on the battlefield of Adobe Premiere (or Vegas… or Final Cut… or Windows Movie Maker… or whatever it is you plan on making your AMV in…).

Applications close January 2nd, APPLY HERE!

Panelist Applications:

Are you an expert geek? A notorious nerd? You can shine at Ohayocon! We depend on volunteer panelists to discuss anime- and geek-related topics and be the first source of entertainment our attendees turn to. We’re looking for the best in local panelists and can’t wait to see what you have to offer.

Applications to be a panelist at Ohayocon 2019 close on Halloween (spooky!), APPLY HERE!

Attention campers!

The Ohayocon Road Team is heading to Acen this weekend to kick off this year’s pre-reg extravaganza! Yeah, you read that right! This year we’re not opening the flood gates in September like years before, this year we’re opening them in May! Betcha didn’t see that one coming, did you? You can invest in your 2019 weekend pass in person there or wait for the 21st when we’ll be opening sales online.

Head over to the admission and pricing page to see the deets and check out the super-cute camp-flavored graphic our art team whipped up for you guys!

Oh, and you thought we would open registration without dangling something shiny in front of your face? Think again; we’ve got six whole shiny things to dangle, baby! The first batch of Ohayocon 2019 guests is ready to view! We’re bringing back fan favorites and adding some impressive new names to the list.
