Hi all!

Just a quick clarification on this year's Themed Premieres Vid Show, Creation.

We want to take as broad a view of the theme as possible, so for example, both destruction and decay can be encompassed as part of the creation (and creative!) process. Hopefully this will make for an exciting range of vids! This means you can make a vid with a creation or creative theme, the ciiiiiiiiircle of life, decay, destruction, rebirth, and more we haven't thought of! We can't wait to see what you come up with, and really can't stress enough how much we encourage you to think outside the box, so long as you can link your idea back to the box somehow. (If you are worried whether an idea fits the brief, feel free to drop a member of the concom a line, or chat it over with fellow vidders.)

What it says on the tin -- the VidUKon 2023 schedule is now available on Conline. If you can't see it, you might need to sign in and/or register. For Cardiff attendees who need info for travel, the con starts at 2PM UK time (UTC+1) on Friday 9 June and ends around 5:30PM on Sunday 11 June.

With the con just three months away, we’re preparing for a weekend jam-packed with vids, panels, activities and socialising! The full schedule will be released closer to the con, but we can now share some news about what you can expect to find in it.

First of all, vidshows! Our vidshows for this year will be:

2013 Retrospective (such_heights)
Antagonism (fray_adjacent) (This year's themed submission show following on from last year's Blorbo!)
A Moment In The Sun (evewithanapple)
Embodiment (frayadjacent)
Eurovision (condnsdmlk)
Festivids (findmeinthealps)
How do you love? Like a fist, like a knife (nu_breed)
In the spotlight (findmeinthealps)
Kick Drum Beating in My Chest Again (FairestCat)
Premieres (charloween)
Vidders Choice (brokenmnemonic)

Look out soon for VJs calling for vid suggestions and possibly premieres.

We’ll also have panels including:

Anatomy of a Vid
Aspects of Aspect Ratio
Women Behind the Camera
Year in Vidding

A major update - this year we’re trying something new with the group vidding workshop! The workshop is a big part of the VidUKon experience, but our new hybrid format presents some additional challenges compared to a fully offline or fully online workshop.

So this year, we’re taking the workshop back online, moving it to a pre-con challenge with a longer timeframe, and making some other changes that we hope will retain the chaotic spirit of the workshop while making both running it and participating in it a bit simpler. Watch this space for more detail soon.

And finally, we’ve chosen a theme for this year’s vidder-submitted themed show! The theme is Antagonism. Whether it’s nemeses, enemies to lovers, villains or feuds, we want your vids all about hostility, rivalry, contention and opposition.

More details coming soon on exactly how to submit. The deadline will be May 6. Premieres are particularly encouraged but back-catalogue vids are very welcome too.

Here’s those deadlines again:

May 1 - Vidder’s Choice submissions
May 6 - Premieres submissions, Antagonism submissions, deadline for in-person registration
May 25 - deadline for online registration if you would like a physical conbook or Premieres memory stick
June 9-11 - con weekend!

Programming suggestions for VidUKon 2023 are now open! We will be accepting submissions until February 25th 2023.


Please submit your content suggestions, whether for shows, panels, or something else, in this handy dandy google form. Most fields are not mandatory, so if you only have a vid show idea but not a panel or vice versa, that’s fine. Multiple ideas, if you have them, are encouraged, but please be advised that in the (very likely) event of more programming than hours in the con weekend, we will probably only accept one programming item per person. (We do ask that if you have multiple ideas, please submit them individually, just to make our lives a bit easier.)


We’re looking for your ideas for vid shows and panels you’d like to run, and if you have an idea for something new that’s not quite either of those things, we’d love to hear that too.


As ever, we welcome programming ideas from first-time VJs and panellists as well as from veterans - if you’d like to give it a try but you’re not sure where to start, please get in touch! We’re happy to chat it through with you. You’re also very welcome to VJ as a pair or a group.


As the con has grown, so has the number of programming submissions. In the likely event that we have too many programme items to choose from, we will emphasise items that form a coherent and complementary programme, as well as trying to give new VJs and panellists a chance to shine. 


We will endeavour to let submitters know whether their item has been selected as soon as possible after the deadline, to allow plenty of time to prepare.


Premieres


As usual, we are seeking brand new, never-before-seen vids for our Saturday night Premieres show.


Anyone with a VidUKon 2023 membership, whether online or Cardiff, can submit a vid. Vids can be any fandom, theme, or style, and there is no minimum level of experience required.


The only requirement is that the vid be completely new, showing for the first time at the con. This means that once you submit it to us, you cannot release it online or show it at any other convention until after the Premieres show on Saturday night of the con. After that you can release the vid as usual. We also ask for one vid for Premieres per vidder.


The deadline for Premieres submissions is May 6th. More information on submitting your vid will be provided nearer the time.


Themed Submission Vidshow


Following the success of last year’s themed submission vidshow, Blorbo From My Show, we’re doing another one! Premieres are encouraged but vids from your back catalogue are welcome.


The theme for this year is yet to be chosen - the concom will be making a decision shortly, but in the meantime we welcome suggestions from the floor! Please comment on this post if you have an idea for a theme.


Vidders Choice


Vidders with a VIdUKon 2023 membership can also submit one of their back-catalogue vids for the Vidder’s Choice show, as in previous years. The deadline for Vidder’s Choice is May 1st, so start having a think about which of your vids you’d like to show off this year!

The eagle-eyed among you may have already spotted that this year's VidUKon schedule is now viewable!

Starting at 2pm BST on Friday, we've got programming to take you all the way through to Sunday evening! For vidshows, you can watch live, or watch in a later timezone that fits with your schedule, and catch up later on demand if you miss anything. We've also got panels, an icebreaker quiz and the now-legendary group vidding workshop.

Registration is open now if you'd like to join us on 11-13 June!

Hi folks! This year [personal profile] sisabet and I are running programming, please feel free to hit us up with questions!

Off the back of the news that we’re back online this year, we’re delighted to announce that we’re open for programming suggestions until March 21st 2021!

In a slight change of pace from previous years, please submit your content suggestions via this Google Form. You don’t need to submit every kind of content suggestion listed, just whatever ideas you have, and multiple ideas, if you have them, are encouraged! (We do ask that if you have multiple ideas, please submit them individually, just to make our lives a bit easier.)

We’re looking for your ideas for vidshows and panels you’d like to run, and if you have an idea for something new that’s not quite either of those things, we’d love to hear that too.

As ever, we welcome programming ideas from first-time VJs and panellists as well as from veterans - if you’d like to give it a try but you’re not sure where to start, please get in touch! We’re happy to chat it through with you.

You’re also very welcome to VJ as a pair or a group.

In the event that we have too many programme items to choose from we will emphasize items that form a coherent and complementary programme, as well as trying to give new VJs and panellists a chance to shine.

Premieres

As usual, we are seeking brand new, never-before-seen vids for our Saturday night Premieres show.

All vidders are invited and encouraged to submit premieres, whether or not they are attending the con. Vids can be any fandom, theme, or style, and there is no minimum level of experience required.

The only requirement is that the vid be completely new, showing for the first time at the con. This means that once you submit it to us, you cannot release it online or show it at any other convention until after the Premieres show on Saturday night of the con. After that you can release the vid as usual.

The deadline for Premieres submissions is May 9th. We’ll give fuller instructions on how to submit closer to the time.

Vidders Choice

Vidders with a con membership can also submit one of their back-catalogue vids for the Vidder’s Choice show, as in previous years. The deadline for Vidder’s Choice is May 1st, so start having a think about which of your vids you’d like to show off this year!
