Baltimore Convention Center
Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Workshops generally incorporate audience participation in a non-trivial way. For example, one workshop meant to teach painting would likely involve the audience using paints and receiving instruction and feedback. Or how to play the game Go while having audience members play along as they learn the rules.
Not sure if you submission qualifies as a Workshop? No problem! Submit the form as a workshop, and if the reviewing staff determines it would be better suited as a panel, we'll pass it along to the appropriate parties.
Workshops Submissions
- Applications are no longer being accepted for Otakon 2013.
18+ Workshops:
- 18+ content is anything that contains graphic, sexual, overly violent or obscene material which would be unsuitable for minors.
- If you are unsure of whether the content of your workshop is 18+, it probably is.
Please err on the side of caution. - Otakon is a family event. Therefore, workshops containing 18+ content will be scheduled late in the evening, generally between the hours of 10PM and 2AM.
- If a workshop submitted as 'not 18+' is found to contain 18+ material, Otakon staff reserve the right to shut down the workshop in progress. A workshop shut down while in progress will not be considered successfully run and may lead to denial of membership reimbursements and future workshop submissions.
Workshop Presenter Compensation:
Presenters of successful workshops will generally qualify for a post-convention membership reimbursement. There is a limit of 3 compensated or reimbursed presenters per workshop. This would comprise of the primary presenter and two assistants. NOTE: anyone receiving membership compensation must actively assist in the running of your workshop. If it is found that a compensated member did not participate, you may be denied membership reimbursements and your future workshop submissions will be denied. You are welcome to have more presenters in your workshop, however, only 3 will receive compensated or reimbursed memberships to Otakon 2013.
