Norwescon 36

Norwescon 36 will be March 28-31, 2013. Our theme this year is “Save the World!” Ecologically friendly science, superheroes fending off the dastardly schemes of some villain, wizards and heroes defending the downtrodden against the forces of evil, how future technologies will keep our habitats safe for us all (both here on Earth and beyond these blue skies), how alien invasions have been defeated by everything from everyday microbes to warriors standing firm…there’s a lot to play with, and we’re sure you’ll have plenty of ideas to keep you busy over the next year!

Our Guests of Honor are Catherine Asaro (Writer), Lee Moyer (Artist), Edward Tenner (Science), Gardner Dozois (Special), Terry Brooks (Norwescon Grand Master), and Baen Books (Spotlight Publisher).

No matter your age or interest, Norwescon strives to make sure there is always something appealing to do over the four days of the convention. Our programming department schedules hundreds of hours of panel programming covering a myriad of subjects. Whether you’re looking for writer’s workshops, costuming tips, artistic creativity, musical concerts, or filmmaking experience, you’ll find it here!

We also feature a number of special events over the course of the weekend. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night each feature a DJ’d dance in the grand ballrooms with pop and fan favorites old and new, or you can kick back with our midnight movies. Open and scheduled gaming runs throughout the weekend. Try to get the drop on your friends during our Lazer Tag games. Friday features the 18-and-over Fannish Fetish Fashion Show. And, of course, there’s the Masquerade, complete with Children’s Masquerade.

Arts, artists, and artistry of all kinds are also large part of Norwescon. You’ll find plenty to tease the eyes (and tempt your pocketbook) from our many exhibitors in the Art Show, down Artists’ Alley, and in our Dealers’ Room.
