VidUKon 2016 Scholarship

Scholarship

Once again, VidUKon will be offering a scholarship! Even though the con is held in the UK, we like to think of it as a European event. The scholarship has been funded by donation and is intended to offer support to one fan, who is not a UK resident and who has not been to the con before, to attend. This includes an Attending membership, Saturday Night Dinner Ticket and accommodation on the basis of sharing a room with one other person. Preference will be given to European residents. Please check out the website to see whether you are eligible and to nominate yourself or others. We are also accepting further donations to the fund if you would like to contribute, and this will go towards travel costs for the recipient.

You can also donate to the scholarship fund through the scholarship page, if you'd like to; you don't have to donate to the fund to nominate someone, and you don't have to nominate someone to donate. The scholarship funds are kept seperate from the convention funds, and will never be used to fund the con itself; if no-one accepts the scholarship, then the money will be rolled forward to fund a scholarship for next year. In the event that there is no next con, the scholarship fund will be donated to an international charity.

Auctions

There's just under four days left in the auction - there's still some time to grab yourself a vid from one (or more) of the six lovely vidders who're sacrificing themselves for our cause - metaphorically, not literally. Don't leave bidding to the last minute unless you love tension and are willing to risk losing out...
