What’s coming up at VidUKon 2020?

[vidukonnews]

 This year’s entirely online VidUKon is just six weeks away! Join us live from your screen for an entire weekend of fandom fun, socialising, and all the vids! Registrations close on Sunday 24 May, and the price to register is £19.99.

We’ll be releasing a full schedule very soon, but in the meantime, here’s an idea of what you can look forward to:

• A brand new online con platform, so that you can conveniently access all programming from one handy location. (We’re also hoping to include some extra bells and whistles, like the ability to experience some parts of the con in line with your own timezone - more information coming soon!
• A dedicated Discord hangout space to socialise with your fellow attendees
• Panels! Including the return by popular demand of in-depth analysis of favourite vids!
• Activities, like our regular quiz and our first ever totally-online, who-knows-what-the-heck-will-happen group vidding workshop! Join a team to be part of creating what will surely be a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
• And of course, streaming vidshows! Watch along at home and join others in each vidshow’s chat to discuss and squee during the show. 

Vidshows coming up this year include a 2010 retrospective, a look at recruiter vids, a celebration of C-dramas, an entire vidshow of Jewish dancing, and more! Plus of course regular shows like Vidder’s Choice, The Best of Festivids and the Saturday night Premieres showcase!

Here are the dates to remember:

Sunday 10 May - deadline for both Premieres (open to absolutely anyone who has a brand-new unseen vid to show off) and Vidder’s Choice (open to all registered members to showcase a back-catalogue vid). More information can be found HERE.

Sunday 24 May - deadline to register for the convention

Fri-Sun 12-14 June - VidUKon 2020! The con’s home timezone is BST (UK time), and things will likely be kicking off on the Friday late afternoon/evening!
