BronyCon is working on a very special video project to play at our convention this summer, and we need help from you—our attendees and supporters! How would you like to use your face to help promote BronyCon to the world while being a part of something awesome in the process?
All you need to do is send us a video of yourself talking about why you love BronyCon and what makes the convention special to you. Whether you have attended every BronyCon event to date, or this coming summer will be your first BronyCon, we want to hear why you are so passionate about our convention.
We have fans of all ages and backgrounds coming to BronyCon from around the globe. This project will demonstrate what can drive thousands of people from such a diverse crowd to come together in a massive celebration of a single TV show and its community. Get creative, be original and show us why you are BronyCon’s number one fan!
There are only three requirements: your video entry must be uploaded to YouTube, must not have any background music, and must include answers to at least two of the following questions:
“Why do you want to come to BronyCon?”
“What does BronyCon mean to you?”
“What are you most excited about for BronyCon?”
“How did you react when you found out you were going to BronyCon?”
Send your submissions to videos@bronycon.org. The deadline for all entries is April 19.

The Serious News
As other convention announcements have gone and by, we have been hearing antsy feelings toward s them. As a first time convention, we want to assure attendees that they will have a great time with as little hiccups as possible, thus as we have been reviewing our financial status, we have come to a decision to ensure the quality of this event will be of the highest caliber. We are going to become from a two day to a one day event.
We understand this will receive mixed reactions, but we want our event to be as fun as possible while avoiding as many financial complications as possible. We believe by making a one day con, we can have jam packed day of Brony goodness rather than a diluted two day while making sure con necessities are payed off. This convention is our responsibility, which is why we want to make sure we can show provide a successful con to all fans!
Speaking of which, we still have positions open for the following:
Public Relations Assistant
Vendor Supervisor
Event Supervisor
If you are interested in applying to any of them, please shoot us an email with a copy of your resumé explaining what you have worked on in relations to the position.
