Millennicon 2011 is rapidly approaching and we're getting all our itty bitty ducks in a row. Today we did the great big art check-in (o'doom), with about fifteen or so boxes to go thru. I sent an email to everyone we checked in, reporting on their status. If you've sent art and didn't get an email it hasn't reached us yet. I'll be checking the mail box tomorrow afternoon. |

| Millennicon 2011 Reminder |
[Feb. 9th, 2011|07:10 pm] |
This is just a reminder that Millennicon 2011 is coming up REAL soon now. I still have 7 3x4 standing panels, 11 3x3 wall panels and 6.5 tables left for reservation.
They can go fast in the last weeks before the con. Get your reservation in now, before someone snatches 'em up before you! |

At this point, we don't have the correct files up on the website. I've nudged our webmaster on that. However, my email contact remains the same and I'll be glad to send you the files you need that way. |

| Millennicon 2010 Postwork |
[Mar. 22nd, 2010|10:52 am] |
| [ | mood |
| |  exhausted | ] |
I've returned from a surprisingly steampunk'd Millennicon. (And no, I wouldn't say we're going steampunk permanently, just that it was big this year.)
I'll report on it later and I don't have the numbers yet, but I will say that sales were down by around $700. The Charity Auction had similar problems. Of course, the economy still sucks for a lot of us, so I wasn't really surprised.
Today's my rest day but tomorrow I'll be working on getting the packages back out the door and into the artists' hands. Checks come afterwards, once I have the postage added in. |

Today is the last day when art is supposed to arrive and we have everything but two mail-in artists checked in. One of those artists are last minute and I'll be crossing my fingers (when I'm not getting ready for the show) that her work makes it to me in time. The other will hopefully show up today.
If the walk-in art is even half as good as what my crew and I saw yesterday during check-in, we have a beautiful show.
We are also full. I can no longer accept reservations, even for walk-ins, as of last night.
More reports will be coming in as needed. I should have internet access during the con and will be keeping an eye on my email over the weekend. |

| Millennicon 2010 Guidelines |
[Dec. 7th, 2009|02:09 pm] |
MILLENNICON 24
March 19-21, 2010
ART SHOW GUIDELINES
Theme: We would like to display artwork with a science fiction, fantasy, fannish or science related theme or subject. 2D, 3D, Digital, Textiles etc. are all welcome.
Fees: The hanging fee is 25 cents per piece. The art show will take a 10% commission on all sales. This fee structure has allowed the art show to break even in the past and helps cover the cost of forms, correspondence and hanging panels.
Awards: We will be giving awards for the “Best of Show” as judged by the show attendees, as well as awards for the best print/reproduction, 3D and original in SF, Fantasy, Humor and Horror.
Mail-in: We will be accepting mail-in art. Indicate that you will be shipping your artwork when you request bid sheets. We are known for our rapid return of un-sold art and for quick payment of artists, usually within a week after the convention.
Auction: We have one auction on Saturday night. Three bids are required for a piece to go to auction. Pieces with no more than two bids when the art show closes Saturday will be sold to the highest bidder on the bid sheet. Pieces not sold by close of show on Saturday will be available for sale at Quick Sale Price on Sunday.
Ratings: We reserve the right to remove, or not include, any art that we feel may violate local standards. Artists whose art is not shown for this reason will not be charged a hanging fee for the piece in question. If you have concerns regarding a piece of art you’d like to send, please check with us to clarify. (Important note! We are in Hamilton County, Ohio, an area well known for its narrow rules on public displays. Their blue laws concerning nudity are such that Millennicon will not display art that shows female nipples or male/female frontal crotch. Nor will we display work that shows the obvious sex act. This is to protect the con from litigation and not because the convention itself has any issues with the subject matter.)
General Information
1. Whether you are mailing in art or bringing it in person, please reserve your space ahead of time. Any art without a previous reservation will be displayed only if there is space to do so. Note that we no longer require a hanging fee in order to put you in the queue.
2. Your art will be hung based on the following criteria;
a) Your place in the reservation queue.
b) How much space you reserved ahead of time.
c) Whether your hanging fee and return postage (if applicable) has been received.
d) Whether your art was received prior to the deadline (in the case of mail-in artists only.)
Any submissions that don't follow the above guidelines will be hung as space is available.
3. We will accept only one copy of a given print for hanging. Any extra copies of a print will not be charged a hanging fee. We reserve the right to determine what constitutes a second copy of a given print. (Note: We will accept bookmarks or the like carrying an image already being showed, but please take care not to overload our system.)
Schedule
March 1, 2010:
Last day to request Control/Bid Sheets via standard Mail. Please note the due date for mail-in artists, as this may not give you enough time to get the art to us.
March 15, 2010:
All Mail-In art must be in by this date. Art arriving after this date will be moved to the back of the queue.
March 19th to 21st, 2010:
Day of show. Walk-in art accepted only.
