Information about prices have changed for Jaycon 6! These changes include a fee of $10 for Elizabethtown College students who show their school ID, $20 for pre-registered attendees, and $30 for registration at the door! Other changes include:
Artists Alley table costs:
Dealer’s Room table/booth costs:
The Under 18 Registration Form can now also be filled out before coming to the convention so long as the child is at least 13 years of age or older. Jaycon Super Staffers are trained through the college to be Authorized Adults (AA's). This training allows our staffers to carefully watch and keep younger attendees safe. Although it is still recommended parents supervise their children and attend the convention with them, only children under the age of 13 at the time of Jaycon 6 (April 9th, 2016) will be required to have their parent sign the form at the registration table. We ask parents to highly consider staying with their children during the convention, especially if the child is younger.
The changes to registration are meant to keep Jaycon affordable and hopes to allow more people to come to Jaycon over the years as we expand. The changes in the AADR room costs are meant to keep the Artist Alley and Dealer's Room affordable and cheap in comparison to other cons, but the raised price now includes not only the table or booth, but also the badge for the convention unlike in previous years. This change allows for less confusion and will allow for quicker check-in for Artists and Dealers at Jaycon 6. The change in our Under 18 Registration Form has caused issues in the past and with the new AA training our Super Staffers receive, we believe allowing children 13 years or older to have the form signed before the convention will cut down on the hassle to parents and make registration quicker as well as easier.
If there are questions about any of the changes made to Jaycon 6 from previous years, feel free to Contact Us!
Thanks,
Jaycon Coordinators

Hello fans of Jaycon!
I’m your Art Director and I would like to present prospective Artists and Dealers with an opportunity! Although I take on a fair share of Jaycon related art projects in my position, I like to utilize the talents of different artists to encourage stylistic diversity. This is where you come in!
I would like to start a contest to design badges for the convention. This would require you to design four separate badges: an attendee, staff, guest, and artist/vendor badge. The designs will be voted on and the winner will get free admission, a guaranteed artist or vendor table, and a free Jaycon t-shirt (and I have it from a reliable source that they will be pretty cool this year!). Pretty sweet deal right? If you are interested and want to learn more information, please visit the Badge Art Contest page. I will post all information that is needed for the contest there—including the deadline, rules, dimensions, badge examples from previous years, and the file for the Jaycon logo.
Thank you for your attention, and may the odds be ever in your favor <3
