Are you premiering a vid at VidUKon 2022? Would you like to share this vid on AO3 after the premiere? Would you like to avoid the mad scramble of posting your vid quickly after the show when all you want is to chat with people about all the cool vids you just watched?

Introducing: the unrevealed AO3 VidUKon 2022 premieres collection!

And, ETA, also introducing the unrevealed AO3 VidUKon 2022 themed vidshow premieres collection -- follow the link or read below for more info.

As part of your premiere submission, we invite you to create a work on AO3 for your vid and post it to the collection. The collection is unrevealed, which means that your work will not be shown to anyone even if you post it – it will show as a “Mystery Work” similar to Festivids and Yuletide. After the premieres show, VidUKon concom will reveal this collection, meaning that your vid will then be visible to AO3 users without you needing to do anything to make that happen.

Posting to the collection is perfectly voluntary! You do not need to create an AO3 post, or add it to the collection, for your vid submission to be complete. It’s meant as a support for vidders to take advantage of or not at your own discretion.

If you do decide to post to the collection, please note the following:

  1. The collection is moderated. Depending on concom availability, it will take a while for your vid to get approved and properly added to the collection. The reason we’ve set it to being moderated is that we want to make sure that only VidUKon 2022 premieres end up in it. There are no other criteria the post or the vid need to fulfill to be approved.

  2. When you post, make very sure to add your vid to the collection before you hit “Post”! Otherwise the vid will be posted like a normal work and your subscribers will be notified, effectively premiering the vid prematurely. You can add the vid to the collection in the posting form, or by posting using the “Post to Collection” button on the collection’s main page.

  3. The collection will be revealed after the show in the con’s time zone, i.e. Cardiff. This means that the reveal might happen slightly before or during the show in another, later time zone.

  4. If you’re premiering a vid in the themed “Blorbo from My Show” vidshow, please watch this space to learn how we’re going to handle the reveal of those premieres. The decision depends on the schedule, which will not be finalized until after programming submissions have closed. (They’re still open, by the way, just in case you have ideas!)

    ETA: We now have a separate collection for all premieres showing in one of the themed vidshows -- this includes "Blorbo From My Show" as well as all other shows other than the Premieres show. The collection will be revealed after the con finishes on June 12 (Cardiff Time). You can add your themed vidshow premiere to the Themed Vidshow Premieres Collection here!


Happy vidding!

Vid Submissions Are Open!

As some of you may have already spotted, we have opened up vid submissions! Here’s a quick how-to for vidders who want to submit to our various 2022 shows.

Registered Vidders

As a registered attendee (Cardiff or Conline), you can submit to Premieres, Vidder’s Choice, and the "Blorbo From My Show" themed vidshow. For more info on the shows please see the respective announcement posts. To submit your vid, please:

  1. Go to your dashboard and, in the "Submit Videos" tab, click to add your vid to the respective show. Fill in all required information and click "Save". Voila, your vid has been submitted to Conline!

    Note on IVDB: If your vid is not yet in Conline’s IVDB (Internet Vid Database), you’ll have to add it using the "add to database" link in the vid submission form. This will be the case for all premieres, as well as all non-premiere vids that haven’t had a chance yet to end up in this database.

    How to add vids to IVDB is fairly self-explanatory after you click on the link. Please try to use the suggested tags for all fields where they exist (Conline will suggest them to you as you type). If you need to create new tags, try to follow the IVDB tagging guidelines wherever possible. They are very long. There is no need to read the whole thing, just pick out the bit that’s relevant to the tag you want to create. If you’re having trouble, ping us on Discord or send us an email, we’re happy to help.

  2. Very important second step! After submitting through Conline, please upload a hardcopy of your vid on the Vid Upload page. The upload links will take you to a Mega site where you can drop your file in to upload. Please make sure to name your vid as specified on the Vid Upload page!

  3. Edited to add a completely optional third step for premieres: add your premiere to the AO3 premieres collection! (Follow the link for more info.)


Unregistered Vidders

Even if you aren’t planning to attend and haven’t registered to VidUKon, you can submit a premiere. To submit a premiere as an unregistered vidder, please do the following:

  1. Upload a hardcopy of your vid on the Vid Upload page to Premieres.
  2. Email vidukon@gmail.com with the following information:
    • the title of your vid
    • all vidders who contributed to making it (i.e. you and potential co-vidders)
    • all sources (movie/TV show/etc.) that you used
    • the audio including title and artist you used
    • an unpassworded streaming link to your vid (i.e. an unlisted YouTube link or similar)


As an unregistered vidder, you cannot submit to Vidder’s Choice or the themed vidshow. Edited to add: You can submit your vid to the AO3 premieres collection, if you wish to do so.

All vid submissions are final! Only submit a vid you are happy to show at the con as-is. There is no option to edit your submission after it’s gone through. If you do have to adjust something, please do so by emailing us at vidukon@gmail.com with your request.

We look forward to your vids! Happy vidding!

Registration for VidUKon 2022 is open!

We are excited to announce that registration for VidUKon 2022 is officially open!

You can register as attending in-person (£55) or for the virtual (£15) VidUKon. Like the last two years, Virtual VidUKon will have full vidshows on ConLine with Discord chat and access to panels, and at least one member of ConCom will be attending virtually. Anyone who registers for the in-person con can also access the virtual con, e.g. from their hotel room. We are fully committed to making this a hybrid event.

A bit more info -- please read this before registering.

  • Here are our COVID-19 policy, our harassment policy, and our FAQ. 
  • Please note that as part of our COVID policy, we have a in-person cap of 30 attendees, which until recently was the upper limit permitted by Wales. If permitted and requested we might raise this cap to 35, but no higher. For reference, pre-pandemic we usually had around 30 in-person attendees (31 in 2019).
  • The deadline for in-person registration is 7 May.
  • We are seeking volunteer moderators for the virtual con. Mods will have their virtual registration fee waived. If you are interested in modding, please hold off on registering and get in touch with us by emailing vidukon@gmail.com. If you've already registered but would like to mod, please let us know.
  • Registration includes the option to express interest in joining the quiz and the vidding workshop. This is not binding, and if you like you will have the option of requesting teammates on the vidding workshop later on.
  • Payment is included in registration -- if you don't get a payment page then it could be your adblocker.
  • In-person attendees will be able to reserve rooms at the Futures Inn hotel in Cardiff (the usual venue) at a reduced rate -- watch this space.
  • Remember that the call for programming is out! Send us your ideas for vidshows, panels, and other fun con content. - If you have any questions, please contact us at vidukon@gmail.com.

Register for VidUKon 2022 here!

(If you're not logged in to conline, you might need to log in and then return to that link to register.)

If you register as an online attendee and wish to receive a programme etc, please send us your mailing address here.
