Three months to go! Here’s a big update.
Hi there! It’s Oct. 1, only about three months until Ohayocon 20, and we want to let you know what’s happening. Here’s some news:
Registration
- Our $50 pre-registered weekend badge deal ends Oct. 19, 2019, after which the price jumps up to $55 (plus the service fee). If you haven’t registered, take advantage of this opportunity and register by Oct. 19!
Panels
- Panelists, the deadline for submissions is Oct. 31, 2019. No exceptions! Read all the details and apply within.
Cosplay
- The Cosplay Expo Craftsmanship, Performance, and Judge applications are available now and due Dec. 31, 2019 for priority consideration. You can also reminisce about last year’s winners.
- If you want to be a cosplay photoshoot captain, be sure to apply by Nov. 30, 2019!
Gaming
- Want to take on Ohio’s best PC gamers? Tournament signups are available now! We’re offering: League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics (one of the first Teamfight Tactics tournaments in the history of anime conventions), Overwatch, and CS:GO! The registration deadline is Oct. 31, 2019, so sign up today! (We’re still working on our console tournament offerings.)
- DMs, submit your Game Event Application and join the fun!
- We’ve updated the Indie Gaming Showcase page so you can see all the exciting new (and returning!) independently designed games we’re featuring this Ohayocon.
Special Guests
- We have already announced some special guests for the Fan Guests, Voice Actors, and Industry Speakers categories. These are not all of them, of course, so be sure you’re subscribed to our Facebook and Twitter feeds, as well as our email update list (sign up below or to the left, depending on where you’re reading this).
Volunteering
- Our new staff application is still available, as is the Kohai Program application, if you want to join us. The new staff application is due Oct. 15, 2019 for priority consideration; there is no deadline for the Kohai Program application.
- On that note, we want to announce a new, shorter staff service-hour quota option: for only 15 hours of scheduled work (compared to the standard 25), you will receive every benefit offered to staff except for lodging. If you’re in the Columbus area, or already have a room with your friends, this is a great way to help and still have plenty of time to enjoy your favorite Ohayocon activities! Let’s work together.
And that’s it! We invite you to follow us on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on all things Ohayocon. We also have an email update list: sign up below or to the left (depending on where you’re reading this). As always, you can browse our Frequently Asked Questions page and access our contact form from there. See you soon!
Best weekend deal ends Sept. 19!
Weekend Badges for Ohayocon 20 are just $45 now, but you have to pre-register by Sept. 19! After that, the price jumps to $50. This is the best deal we offer for a weekend full of entertaining contests, games, panels, anime screenings, and so much more. Visit our registration page and get your badge, and we’ll see you in January!
(Psst! Don’t forget, if you want to volunteer or join staff, we’re still accepting applications!)
