cosplay
At Sugoicon, we continue to try new twists on old favorites, and the Cosplay is no exception! If you're nervous about the idea of getting up onstage, have no worries on that score -- there is no stage! Instead, we'll have a friendly and informal reception, cosplayers mingling with congoers, with judging quietly going off on the side. All the prizes are based on costume quality, so you don't need to have a skit ready... but hamming it up for the crowd never hurts, ne?

workshops
From the screen to your hands, learn the skills of anime from the experts! We can teach you everything from how to paint a cel to how to assemble a good music video, or just sit down and be dazzled by the instructors' skills.

artist alley
Sugoicon's Artist Alley is a place where inspiring artists can come to show off what they can do. There is no charge for the table space, but this year we are going to require pre-registration of the space, due to high demand. At this point, we are no longer accepting requests for reservations, and are making final confirmations to those who have requested spaces up to this point. Please contact Lara Smith with any questions.

video gaming
You may know the game, but you don't know your enemy. Aside from a variety of console games, we have a DDR Extreme arcade game this year, with time for beginners as well as master dancers. Join our tournaments and find out how good you really are!

table-top gaming
Speaking of games, there will be a Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament at the convention. More details will be available at the convention.
This year we will have an CCG/RPG gaming room open during the entire convention, with gaming supplies for any and all who would like to play Yugioh, Magic the Gathering, Marvel/DC Vs or any other game in either casual open gaming or if requested draft/swiss tournaments.  

panels
Anime has given us some wild plots, but some stories can only be drawn from life. Come on in and listen to our guests tell you how they came to be anime professionals, have discussions with other fans of your favorite shows, or learn more about aspects of Japanese culture!

karaoke
While you're showing off your costume, show off your voice! Along with our Friday night free-for-all karaoke, we'll also have a chance for you to display your talents in style at the cosplay reception on Saturday. Make sure to bring your song and be ready to put your heart into it!

dance
Bringing new meaning to the term "otaku-funk", our dance on Saturday night is the perfect way to release the day's energy! We've got the best in anime soundtracks mixed with the most eclectic club hits. You never know what you might hear or who you'll see!

video rooms
Sometimes, you remember a show you'd like to share with a friend, but can't find it. Or, you want to try out a show before buying it. We have the solution! The best of the past, present, and future of anime will be on display full-time. Settle in with a few dozen friends and get to the point of our hobby - the shows!

music video contest
Like great songs, anime can be exciting, sad, romantic, and funny. If you're a fan who likes to combine the two, we want to see your work! We'll have specific rules up soon. Join our contest and give your artistry a live audience! Rules and guidelines can be found at the following link: http://www.oddrscores.com/SugoiCon/amv_rules.html
