online Coeur d'con
august 21, 22, 23, 2020
Dear Coeur d’Con Friends,
In light of the current concerns about COVID-19 in our community and around the world, we have decided to take Coeur d’Con 2020 online. We care about each and every one of you, and we want to help you stay as safe as possible. We also want to continue celebrating the connections, that your unique geeky passions inspire, the best that we can. With all this in mind, the Coeur d’Con Team has been brainstorming ways to make Online Coeur d’Con as safe and as fun as possible.
Some of the ways that we can still connect and have fun will be through online fan art, cosplay contests, and panels. (More information about the changes to our contest submission forms will be coming soon.)
We also want to give extra support to our local vendors and artists. We realize that a lot of people are financially hurting at this time. We’re hoping to provide a special online version of our vendor and artist booths (for anyone who can provide an online shopping experience). The table fee is being waived, as well. We’ll be contacting our current vendor and artist applicants with more information in early July.
We’ve also decided to expand the days that Online Coeur d’Con will be offered to August 21-23, 2020. We hope that gives you time to experience Online Coeur d’Con to the fullest at your own pace without overwhelming you with screen time.
We realize that this announcement may be disappointing. We are doing our best to provide a little bit of what makes Coeur d’Con awesome, while keeping you as safe as possible.
We’re all in this together. Stay healthy. Stay safe. Stay hopeful.
❤️ Coeur d’Con Team
