    Sac Brony Expo Registration Opens

    Hello,
    This is Sac Brony Expo coming at you with some awesome announcements!
    For a long time, people have been asking us, “How much is it for presale tickets and vendor’s tables?” Have you checked out our website recently? I think you’ll be in for quite the surprise; we are happy to announce that registration is open for everyone!
    General attendance tickets start at $10, but if you want to get front row seats, cool buttons, and access to a special event we will be holding, you can purchase VIP tickets, which come in two flavors: LVL 1 and LVL 2, each with their own sets of perks.
    As for vendor’s tickets, they start at $30 which comes with two standard passes! There are also VIP options in case any of the vendors want to go off and enjoy the convention.
    Registration for musical performances, events, and showcases for projects are also open! If you’re interested in holding an event at Sac Brony Expo, showing off your mad beats to fellow musicians, or demonstrating how awesome your artwork is, we have a form system set up where you can send us your pieces! If your topic is approved, you’ll have chance to show off at the con!
    The convention’s general etiquette guidelines have been set up and posted, under the “Guidelines” tab on our website. It’s a short list of what we expect out of every attendee at the con, with additional guidelines for people who are registering for a table or performance slot. We want this con to be fun not only for bronies, but families and members of the community as well, so please take the time to familiarize yourself with our our rules!

    With that, we hope to see you all there! Below are the link to the pages:

    BronyCAN Present at FanExpo Vancouver 

    BronyCAN will be in attendance at FanExpo Vancouver, running from April 20 to 21. This will provide an excellent opportunity for fans and attendees to have their questions answered in a one-on-one environment.

    We are encouraging everyone to see us at booth 65 in the Artist Alley. In addition to providing information, the BronyCAN booth will have merchandise and convention passes available. One of the BronyCAN staff artists will be available to commission sketches, proceeds from which will support the convention.


    Announcing BronyCon's Latest Mane Event: Whose Line is it Anypony!



    Fancy yourself a comedian? Want to make a large group of bronies laugh their flanks off at BronyCon this year on stage? Well we have a brand new event for you to try your hoof at this year!

    Welcome to Whose Line is it Anypony! The event where everything is made up and the points don't matter. That's right, the points are just like Trixie trying to take over Ponyville; they just don't matter. We are looking for four crazy ponies to play in our improvisational game show that will be in the Mane hall this summer.

    Do you think you're a funny enough pony to make the crowd laugh? Have the drive and dedication to make this production succeed? Then we're interested in hearing from you! Fill out a casting call application today, as we are only accepting applications through May 10.


    Everfree Northwest PMV Contest 2: Return of the Revenge

    The Everfree Northwest PMV contest is back and it’s better than ever! This year will have not one, but two PMV categories. That’s right ponies, this year we’re doubling up on the categories! That means double the prizes, double the videos, and double the fun!

    The first category and the returning champion is the Pony Music Video! Mix some music with some Friendship is Magic and serve; need I say more? Joining the music video this year is our second category, the non-music Pony Movie Video! Take non-music audio from your favorite source or make your own, and just add some pony! Mash several clips together, do an extended segment, the choice is yours!

    The contest is simple; simply submit a PMV published after Febuary 3rd to Everfree Northwest’s contest email, pmvcontest@everfreenw.com, via download link. This year’s cut-off deadline is June 16th. Submissions will be played during an event in the Crystal Ballroom, followed by a panel announcing our winners. Prizes will be awarded to the best PMVs of the bunch!

    Remember to keep it convention friendly, but aside that, go nuts! Let your creativity and imagination run wild. Create the next great music video, or an awesome comedy sketch. Maybe you should ponify a new movie trailer, or try having our favorite multi-colored equines dance to a funky beat. The choice is yours!

    Be sure to read up on the official contest rules. If you have any questions, need clarification, want to make sure your PMV is adhering to content guidelines, or anything else relating to the PMV contest, please email us at Everfree Northwest at pmvcontest@everfreenw.com
