FLY ME TO THE MOON! - Hat Contest
We had so much fun two years ago with the special Pirate Hat costuming event, we decided to do something similar once again! In keeping with our lunar theme, the special contest this year will be dedicated to all things related to our moon, “Luna…” and how your idea can be best presented on a hat (or some other form of headgear)! There are subjects a-plenty out there, folks; the sky… no, “the heavens” are the limit! To get you started, here are some mind-jigglers: consider lunar phases; there are myriad songs about the moon or with the term “moon” in them; different cultures assigned different names to each month’s full moon (Google it!)… We could go on and on! The judge will be found at “Mare Serenitatis,” waiting to see your creations. Directions to this location and the time period in which the judge will be present will be included in the notice hanging at Registration.
Moon Scavenger Hunt
This self run panel is for those attendees that love to search for nuggets of adventure. All you need is a way to take pictures and pick up a Moon Scavenger hunt sheet found in the Hub and around the convention. Try to find as many items on the list. The more you accomplish the more points your accumulate and on Sunday at the designated time adventures and scores will be told. Fun time will be held by all!
If you have a moon contest for DemiCom 23, please contact us at mooncontests@demicon.org.
