Morphicon: "The Food Chain": May 5-7, 2006
Radisson Columbus-Worthington, OH
http://www.morphicon.org/2006/
Honoring: Candy and Ryan DeWalt, and Bill Holbrook
In this issue:
Morphicon 2006 Deadlines
Important deadlines for 2006 are as follows:
* Free Patron Membership Contest: February 15, 2006
Our art contest ends in under two months, and there are very few entries
so far. Entries must be line-art, and fit "The Food Chain" theme. All
entries must be emailed or postmarked by 2/15. One winner will be
selected for the free Patron Membership, and their artwork will go on
the convention t-shirt. The runners-up will see their artwork in the
2006 conbook. For all submissions and queries, send email to:
goodies AT morphicon.org
* Registration: March 1st, 2006 (early reg = save $10!)
Pre-registration is the same as last year ($30), but the cost of a
registration at the door is increasing. If you wish to register for
Morphicon early (and save $10), you have to do it by the deadline. We
will not accept mail-in forms or online registrations postmarked after
March 1st. For more:
http://www.morphicon.org/2006/register.htm
Remember, Hypertrophe level memberships are only available through early
registration.
* Dealer's Registration: As soon as tables sell out.
Want to be a dealer? It's pretty cheap to do so at Morphicon. But you'll
need to act fast to secure your table, because our dealer’s room is
nearly full. You’ll also need information on getting a seller’s permit
in Ohio. Email dealers AT
morphicon.org for more information if you're thinking about being a
dealer. We can help you get set up.
* Other Conbook Submissions: March 1st, 2006
Any submissions for the conbook that are not appropriate for the t-shirt
contest (i.e. poetry, stories, advertisements, or grayscale art) must
also be received by March 1st. Submissions and requests for information,
advertisment rates, or flyer swaps with our convention can be handled
through: publications
AT morphicon.org
* Hotel Reservations: April 19th, 2006
Hotel rooms must be reserved by April 19th, but we recommend you do it
sooner than later. After the deadline the room block will no longer be
held. To reserve a room, call the Radisson directly at 614-436-0700, or
fax them at 614-436-5318. You may also call the central office at
1-800-333-3333. You must ask for the Morphicon room rate (room block
MO-503) to get the discount rate.
Reserving a room helps reduce costs for the con and makes it easier
for us to provide you with quality services.

Sponsorship Levels
Sponsors, for an extra $15, will get two signed color prints and a nifty
collectible sponsor button, as well as an invitation to the high-class
“I Scream Antisocial” event.
Patrons, for an extra $55, will get everything the Sponsors get, and
more: a Morphicon 2005 t-shirt with the winning entry printed on the
front, admission to the catered Guest of Honor dinner, preferred seating
at Morphicon events, yet another special lunch, and an extra collectible
print.
Hypertrophes are fantastic individuals who donate $200 or more to
Morphicon for a given year, before the early registration deadline of
March 1st. In addition to all of the benefits of Patron, you’ll receive
a truly gianormous laminated conbadge, credit and kudos in the conbook
(with your own bio), a second limited edition button, a special gift
from each of our GoH’s, and a secret surprise!

Looking to Get Involved at
the Con?
Our convention doesn't work without your involvement. Here are some
areas where we'd love to have a paw.
Charity: Please help us raise money for
Ferrets
Unlimited! We need your art and memorabilia donations for our
charity art auction and raffle. The goods you donate will make the con
more fun and help save some furry lives. Send an email to
charity AT morphicon.org
if you're so inclined. The animals thank you!
Performance: Join one of the few judged furry masquerades out there. We
accept suits that may have won awards at other conventions, and our
masque has three levels of experience. If you're thinking of taking the
plunge, send email to
masquerade AT morphicon.org for more information.
Also, our infamous Furry Variety Show could always use some volunteers
for pre-scripted performances. We'll find a place for you, so if you’re
curious, send email to
varietyshow AT morphicon.org today (adults only).
As always, feel
free to visit http://www.morphicon.org/ for up-to-date
information on what's happening at the convention. We'll see you in May!
