Hello Norwescon ConCom members! Election season for Norwescon 36 (2013) continues!
The next Norwescon meeting (March 17) will be your last chance to nominate candidates for the offices of Chairman (Chair) and Vice-Chairman (Vice-Chair) and for the two slots on the GOH Selection Committee (GOH Committee). And it will be your last opportunity to question them!
(Information on the positions, their requirements and responsibilities are at the end of this post.)
Good news! We’ve just added two more hotels to our list of hotels close to the convention with special deals for Norwescon attendees. That brings us up to your choice of six hotels within a mile of the convention hotel, just in case you didn’t get rooms on-site!
Norwescon has a number of rooms set aside in the room block for convention professionals. Several of these rooms are left over and we are making them available to convention members on a first come, first serve basis.
Hello Norwescon ConCom members! It’s election season again — for Norwescon 36 (2013)!

Would you like to help plan, organize, and create the Pacific Northwest’s premier science-fiction and fantasy convention? January’s Norwescon 35 planning meeting will be held Saturday, January 7th, 2012.
Norwescon 35, in conjunction with the DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport, is pleased to announce that Maxi’s Lounge will be open Friday and Saturday nights for the exclusive use of Norwescon 35 attendees.
The Norwescon room block has been sold out since early November — but if you missed out on staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Seattle Airport, this doesn’t mean you won’t be able to stay close to the convention! In addition to the already announced Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center, Norwescon has made arrangements with three other nearby hotels.
Norwescon wouldn’t be what it is today without all of you wonderful fans helping to spread the word — and trust us, that’s very appreciated! To that end, then…here’s this year’s flyer!
A change is coming in the way we reserve rooms for Norwescon. It is a significant change for our members but we believe it will help us make more convention rooms available for our members at the cheaper convention rate.
Norwescon 35 is pleased to offer our annual Guest of Honor Awards Banquet on April 5th, 2012, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM in Grand Ballroom 2. This is a great way for our members to start off the convention by wining and dining with our Guests of Honor. Ticket and menu information can be found on the Banquet page.
Author Rudy Rucker mentions winning the Philip K. Dick Award in 1989 in this excerpt on io9 from his recently published autobiography, Nested Scrolls.
For the third year running, Norwescon is proud to co-sponsor the EMP Museum’s Science Fiction and Fantasy Short Film Festival (or SFFSFF for short).
We’ve just received an update from the Hilton Seattle Airport and Conference Center with some special incentives for Norwescon attendees!
As of yesterday morning, the Norwescon room block at the DoubleTree hotel is sold out. Never fear, however! We are in the process of working with other hotels in the area, and will be updating the hotel page with information as we receive it.
We’ve just posted the Single Pattern Contest info and rules!
Still thinking about reserving a suite for parties or larger get-togethers during Norwescon 35? Don’t put it off for long! Suites are reserving fast — right now, all Lakeside and Presidential suites are _sold out_! Parlor and Family suites are still available.
The Norwescon Program Book is distributed to 3,000+ members during the convention each year. This approximately 75 page document is produced on high-gloss paper in color and black and white and features information about our Guests of Honor, panelists, pros, the programming schedule for the convention, artwork and more. Ad space is available in the Norwescon 35 Program Book.
