Panel registration deadline:  July 1st

 (The form at the bottom of the page may still be visible but any submissions sent after this date without prior approval will not be approved) 

​

All panelists must be registered attendees of the convention.

​

Tiny Paws Con would like to celebrate the creative spirit so fertile in the furry fandom with its programming.  We are looking for furs to lead classes involving creativity, particularly instructional or follow-along paws-on crafting of all levels of experience and ability.  We also welcome social gatherings to enjoy crafting, like a Stitch 'n' Kvetch or an open format "here are the supplies to make an item" class.  Crafting for the benefit of others is also encouraged with events to make items like blankets, hats, scarves, and such to be donated to our charities (animal and human).  Do you know the ins and outs of anatomy for artists, how to use sculpting clay without smearing it all over everything, have tips and tricks for working with fake fur, body care for dancers, chopping skills for cooks, how to corral beads and glitter to save you the anguish of a lengthy cleanup, pipe cleaner or wire art, how to make fuzzy animal ears, jewelry making, origami -- even just a simple paper fortune teller -- sock puppets, dreamcatchers, throat singing, simple beads on a string to make a bracelet or necklace, using acrylic paint on wood, how to organize your bookshelves?  Just about anything, really!  :)

​

Do you want to run a panel which doesn't involve creativity?  That's fine too!  We welcome all different types of programming!

​

Before submitting your class/social gathering/panel idea, make sure you will be able to attend the convention.  Failure to attend your presentation without notifying the convention organizers in advance will result in you not being allowed to run events at future cons.

​

Panelists are responsible for providing all equipment and materials for their presentation, unless they have a special arrangement with the Programming Director.  If your class is going to require crafting materials you cannot provide, you must contact the Programming Director to see what arrangements can be made.

​

We do our best to accommodate every submission.  However, we cannot guarantee we will be able to schedule your proposed panel or give you the day/time requested.

​

All programming must be suitable for all audiences.  No adult content is permitted, as well as adult verbal content and the display of adult images.  Classes involving anatomical drawing or similar artistic subjects involving the nude body, if approved for the schedule, must keep the language and subject matter professional and presenters must be aware of the age level of their audience.  Minors attending classes of this nature must introduce themselves to the presenter to make their aware of their presence.
