VividCon 2008 Challenge Theme - Fuck you!
This was originally a vidshow suggestion, "Fuck you, FOX!" focused on all the shows FOX has cancelled before their
time. It got such a great reception that the attendees of VVC 2007 immediately asked for it to be this year's
Challenge theme. The interpretation, as always, is up to the vidder!
The Club Vivid Challenge - Club Vivid vids are due no later than May 1st!
The VividCon Vid Auction is now closed! Thanks to all the bidders and vidders!

Vividcon Scholarship Nominations/Donations - Do you know someone in "vid fandom" who's never been to Vividcon? Someone who'd like to come, but would need some hard cash assistance to get here? The Vividcon Scholarship Program was created to bring Mohammed to the Mountain. Click for details on nominating someone and/or making a donation to the scholarship fund.
VividCon Convention Video Database - Contains listings for most vids shown at past VividCons, searchable by title/creator/vidshow/source.
VividCon is intended for anyone who enjoys fannish vids - watching them,
talking about them, or making them. As interest in vids has grown, cons
have been accommodating longer vidshows and adding vid-watching and vid-making
panels to their schedules, yet there never seems to be enough time to discuss
all the different facets of vids in depth.
VividCon aims to fill that vacancy. We welcome all vid genres: gen, adult, het,
slash, anime, experimental... If you like vids, you want to be at this con.
We have a dedicated vidshow room and vidshows going throughout the
convention, as well as a mix of panels for both vidders and vid-watchers,
for both newer and more advanced vidders. And as well as our Saturday-night
premieres vidshow, we will once again be having our Friday night dance party,
Club Vivid. In
addition, the VividCon vid library has a wide range of vid tapes available,
including complete tapes of previous vidshows from the con, that attendees
can sign out to watch in their own rooms (and every room in the hotel has
its own VCR).
We'll shortly be asking for nominations for this year's panel and vidshow
concepts here on this site and on the vividcon@yahoogroups.com mailing list.
Please join up and give us your input!
VividCon is an equal opportunity con. Our goal is to give vidders and vid fans
a place where they can share and see a wide range of vids. We do not judge or
discriminate against vids for genre, sexual orientation, source, fandom, age, technique, or even if we think they're in poor taste or badly made.
Because adult material is accepted, VividCon is intended for adults only, and
attendees must be over 18. Please be aware that you may, and most likely will, see such
material in various vidshows and panels. You may also (horrors!) see vids that you
don't like. It's all part of the deal.
Boring legalese: the concom officially reserves the right to not show any
vid for any reason whatsoever. In practice, we will actually only use
this to avoid showing vids that we think are going to create serious liability
issues for us, and if we do have to use it (we've never had to so far), we will
discuss our concerns privately with the vidder first. |
