You may enter a trailer, but the content must be 90% focused on music.

You can still register online, you just missed out on the discounted rate and you’ll have to wait until the day of the con to get your badge. Registering online will save you from waiting in the slower line of people filling out the form the day of the convention. You are still very welcome to volunteer, as well.

So these are the only four categories you are having? If that is the case is it possible to enter a trailer?

@Izzy The AMV form is being a little bit troublesome at the moment. It should be in whatever format you have, but if it doesn’t submit, try adding links to download your video in the appropriate box. If it still doesn’t work, email me your submission information and a download link at sales@natsucon.org

@Spieg NatsuCon has not been privvy to “Whose Line Is It Anime?” in years past, and currently no plans are underway to host it in 2011, but we are not against the idea in future years. Pleased to meet you as well. Hope to see you at NatsuCon!

@Mitch Being a staffer requires a significant time commitment not asked of volunteers. In order to staff, you must attend pre-convention meetings, prepare for the convention in advance, and be willing to devote a few hours a week for convention work. Unlike Volunteering, staff get to see a bigger picture of the convention and how it comes together. Staff may also be on-call at the convention for longer hours than volunteers, and are expected to focus their efforts on their jobs above attending the convention.

To staff you’ll be required to have reliable transport, internet access, be at least 18 years old, and be willing to cooperate with other staffers. Competencies we would look for include good decision-making ability, strong teamwork and leadership, enthusiasm and energy, as well as good communication skills. Staffers do not receive pay, and most are hard-working college students who take time out of their week to work on the convention. In return for hard work, staffers are fed, and in some situations accommodated by NatsuCon, and they do not have to pay for badges. It’s not for everyone, but most of those who do staff find it addicting.

The deadline to pre-register will be August 5th, pre-reg prices increase July 8th, and you can register at the convention all three days.

Hope I answered your questions Mitch!
