Unfortunately we have had to DOUBLE badge prices from last year. Last year’s badges were FREE. You do the math.
Admittance
——————-
You MUST WEAR FULL CARDBOARD COSTUME to be in our convention. NOT necessary to put much effort into your costume!!!!
Don’t worry!!! Make it sloppy, have fun.
MOAR cardboard is better than just a cardboard hat.
You will feel LAME if you don’t have a full cardboard costume.

We need:
- sponsors
- chief of security
- costume contest coordinator

Cardboard*Con is an unsanctioned event where we meet at some bars and have some drinks. Please observe all rules of the establishments you visit, as we aren’t really even real. We were never here. Like phantoms, we were. POOF! Gone.
NOTE: J-45b cardboard supplies from Copehagen will be unavailable until AFTER this year’s con, so the panel on European cardboard folding techniques has obviously been cancelled. Sorry folks. Write to BRODRENE HARTMANN with your complaints 🙁
