[vidukonnews]

 

Greetings everyone!

Preparations for Vidukon 2018 are in full swing. 2018’s convention will take place on the 15th, 16th and 17th of June, at the Future Inn Hotel, Cardiff Bay.

As usual, there’ll be a festive discount available for those who want to get their attending registrations nice and early. Early registration is open from December 22 until December 28. Using the discount code FESTIVE17, you’ll be able to get a 5% discount on the £39.99 attending membership between these dates.

If you’re interested in making a vidshow, running a panel, or organising other content we haven’t yet thought of, now is the time to get thinking about it! Vidshow and panel submissions are now open. Vidshow and panel submissions will remain open until the end of March 5. Look out for more detailed information and an ideas post soon.

Scholarship applications/nominations are also now open for European applicants outside the UK. The VidUKon Scholarship is funded by donations and intended to offer support to one fan who is Non-UK-resident, has not been to the con in the past and would like to attend. For more information, or to nominate yourself or somebody else (self-nominations are encouraged!), take a look here:

All nominations (European, UK & international) will close on Sunday April 1 and the scholarship will be awarded by April 9 to allow the recipient sufficient time to make travel arrangements. If there has been no interest from international fans by the March 19 the scholarship will be made available to UK residents.

Keep an eye out in the next few weeks for announcements about the auction, room bookings, and more.
