CALICON AWARDS

LARP Organizations get the spotlight


We're happy to announce the first-ever CaliCON Awards, which will be taking place at CaliCON during our annual Open House on October 29th! We're incredibly excited to be able to celebrate the amazing work that our community of creators has been doing, and we hope you will join us for a day of celebration and awards.

Nominate your favorite LARP project in front of the people who know a thing or two about LARPs! Our intention is to encourage everyone to continue to push the boundaries of interactive entertainment by opening our minds, exploring new possibilities, and bringing together a larger community. 

This is a unique opportunity to share your LARP achievements with the whole LARPing community. You as a player can nominate your LARP organization in one of six categories: Best siege engine; Best Quest Item; Best NPC Larp Costume; Best Monster; Best Special Effects; and Best Youth Initiative.

To do so follow the links below and fill out the forms.
