vidukon_cardiff | VidUKon 2021

With VidUKon only a few months away, we have a few pieces of news to share!

First of all, we’ve come to the decision that this year’s con will, like last year, be online only. Although the vaccine programme in the UK is proceeding well, it’s still not at all clear whether large gatherings will be safe for everyone by June, and even less certain how easy it will be for our attendees from mainland Europe to make their way to Cardiff. Rather than wait to make a last-minute decision, we have decided to run an all-online con again this year. All being well, in 2022 we will run a hybrid con, both in-person and online, so that as many people as possible can enjoy it.

Online con memberships for this year will shortly go on sale at £10 each. Memberships will be available right up until the con weekend. We’re also pleased to announce that this year we are offering a number of online scholarships - if you would like to attend the virtual con but you are unable to afford the membership cost, please get in touch with us at vidukon [at] gmail [dot] com to find out more about this. (You do not need to disclose anything about your personal circumstances in order to qualify for an online scholarship.)

We will also shortly be putting out a call for content suggestions for this year’s con. If you’d like to VJ a vidshow, run a panel, or if you have another idea, watch this space for more information!

As always, we’ll be looking for brand new, never-before-seen vids for our Premieres show. This year’s Premieres deadline is Sunday 9 May - stay tuned nearer the time to find out how to send us your vids!

We hope to see you all online on June 11-13!
