Madicon is the Science Fiction and Fantasy convention of Harrisonburg, VA.

Join us as we celebrate 20 years of Madicon; March 11-13, 2011 at the Festival Conference Center on the campus of James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA.

Wanted: Artists!

My helpers and I have been compiling a list of artists to contact about the Art Show and Sale for this year — I’m hoping to have a big show — and for the artists’ sake, I hope we see bigger sales. More importantly, we want you, our con-goers, to get in on the act. Are you an artist? Is your material suitable for show at a Science Fiction/Fantasy Convention?

You should be a part of the Art Show and Sale!

In the next few days I intend to get the rules for the Art Show and submissions up on the page under the FAQ. I’m still hammering out a few details because I want the show to be a pleasure for everyone, buyers and sellers alike. Keep watching the page, and consider sending in your work. We’d love to have you be a part of Madicon 20.

The Madicon 20 flier is now up on the Forms page.

Print them out, give them to your friends, your relatives, your local bookstore… We have a great Con shaping up for 2011 and we want everyone to be there. So, let them know now. Friends don’t let friends miss Madicon.

Now that school is over for the semester I am happy to be back to writing Madicon updates…

And I am very excited to report Katherine Kurtz, the author of the Deryni novels, and many others, has agreed to be an Author Guest of Honor at Madicon. Check out the Guests page for more information.

Two Events

Returning for a second year, after how much fun it was, Madicon is playing host to another Battletech Pink Slip tournament.

And we have our first panel announcement, Emily Iekel, a member of the Science Fiction/Fantasy Guild here at JMU will be running a panel on Music in Fantasy.

Find out more about these events on our Panels and Tournaments pages.

Much more to come, keep checking back with us.

Two guests to announce, in fact. Joining us for Madicon 20, we have Brain Glass, an alumnus of JMU and long-time Art Director for the Exalted line from White Wolf.

I am also very pleased to announce, Rob Balder will be joining us and bringing Filk back to Madicon 20. Having Rob Balder here is exciting as he brings, not only the funny music, but Erfworld and PartiallyClips webcomic fun as well!

Head on over to the Guests page for more information.

I am happy to announce that C.S. Friedman will be joining us as an Author Guest of Honor at Madicon 20!
