While you cannot apply to enter the Dance Competition as both a solo dancer and as part of a group, you are welcome to apply for both Dance Competition and Beatdrop Beatdown entry - one does not affect the chance of you being selected for the other.

See you on the dance floor!

To enter the events, use the following forms:

Dance Competition, Solo Performance: forms.gle/uWjmhdbTpUP5...

Dance Competition, Group Performance: forms.gle/PZgDNgBc4CRZ...

Beatdrop Beatdown: forms.gle/yN6NSD2kdijN...

Applications close at the end of Tuesday December 2nd!

This year our Dance Competition is offering a contest for group performances as well as solo dancers! Due to capacity those dancing in groups cannot also appear as solo performers, so choose carefully.

Rules and guidance for both events is available here: drive.google.com/file/d/1xtOU...

As always, you'll be invited to donate some or all of the proceeds to our charity, please give generously!

If you have any questions, please reach out to our friendly Art Auction team at the address below and they will be happy to assist you! Good luck with your sale!

You'll need to agree to our Art Auction Terms & Conditions, which will be shown as part of the pre-registration process and also in the Art Auction room at the convention. Remember, pre-registration is not "first come, first served" so take the time to read them carefully.

Items can also be registered at the convention during the Friday Auction Registration slot, but we highly recommend pre-registering to ensure we have space to display your item. Pre-registered items should also be brought to the Friday registration session to be put on display.

In the meantime, we are still open for applications for new volunteers to join our Events team until October 31st - see our earlier announcement post for details on how to apply!

During this process all proposals will be locked and cannot be edited. If you need to change anything in your proposal, either reach out to the Events team mailbox at the address below or speak with your Events team contact if one reaches out to you.

Ultimately, everyone who has made a pitch via our events system will receive an email informing them if their pitch has been accepted. We anticipate that these will be sent by mid-December at the latest. As always, we will try to fit as many of your proposals as we can!

Our Events team is now reviewing each proposal and may reach out to understand more about certain events as they work to assess each pitch, determine what is plausible to run, and how they may fit in the schedule. Don't worry if you don't hear from them immediately, though!

Applications for events and DJ sets are via our dedicated system at events.scotiacon.org.uk/scotiacon-20... and if you have any questions you can get in touch with the Events team at the address below - but be quick!

Applications will be open until October 31st, but we'll review applications as they come in. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to have a chat with us about the role to see if it's a good fit for you. We're looking forward to adding a number of you to our team this year!

If you're interested in either of these roles and would like to help us put on a shindig this year, please send us an email to the address below to apply. Please write a bit about yourself, what you like about the role you're applying for, and why you'd be great at it.

We're also looking for Shift Leads who, in addition to the above, will provide leadership and a point of escalation for the Events team during shifts at the convention. This is a more senior role which will carry more responsibility so tangible relevant experience will be needed.

We're a diverse team, but we'd definitely like volunteers for this role to have the following:
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- The ability to manage multiple tasks and keep calm under pressure

Here's what you'll be doing with the Events team:
- Vetting and curating event proposals
- Helping construct our schedule
- Liaising with event runners before and at our event
- Coordinating events at con and solving issues
- Managing our ticket system to log requests & decisions

Hey there! Everything looks good from our end but drop our Events team at the email above and they will help you out in getting your event safely pitched in the system.

Given the number of applications received, we anticipate applicants will hear back no later than the end of October, but if we can complete reviews earlier than this then this may be sooner. If you have any questions in the meantime, email our Den team at the address below.
