Greetings All,

Here are the winners of the Name the con contest. After two rounds in the selection process the winners are...

Grand Prize Winner

Fur the 'More - Submitted by Dofain - We think this is  delphine here on FA

1st Prize - Furthermore - Submitted by Marisa Cotilletta
2nd Prize - Charm City Furcon - Submitted by Greg Stotler
3rd Prize - Baltimore FurFest - Submitted by  SEGY

Unfortunately, even if Fur the 'More had not won the contest, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place names either couldnt be used or had to be modified.

Furthermore is trademarked by a brewing company, FurCon is trademarked by Further Confusion in California, and FurFest is trademarked by Midwest FurFest. So we would have had to figure out a modification that would have worked had they won. Irregardless, they were all great names, as were most of the names that were submitted for the contest. We will be trying to get in touch with each of the winners in the near future to arrange for their prizes. Congratulations to everyone.

Well, now that we have the contest wrapped up, and the convention has a name, we feel like we can finally move forward.

First and foremost, I would like everyone to know that I (  kitdrago ) am the Con-Chair of the convention. Our staff includes  razor_wulff  skippyfox  shymatsi  irime  kibayoukai and  indigoangelcat as well as others who we are still pending on invites.

I hope that no one was put off by us withholding the name of the staff members starting this up. We decided as we were gathering up the initial information and getting ourselves lined up that we did not want to release anyones names as staff until we were certain that we were going to move forward with this project.

Ideally, you can come check out our website at http://www.furthemore.org which we are in the process of building up, you can watch us furthemore on FA, and we will have other presences in the near future.

We are looking for artists who might be interested in donating artwork for the convention, including Mascot/Logo (which were thinking should be a Raven), banners, Tshirt Ideas, website header art, and program book art. The benefits are that you will be credited on the website, FA, and in the conbook. You will have the distinction of being involved in the founding processes of the convention.

Questions / comments / suggestions can be sent to questions [at] furthemore.org - Staff and volunteer applications will go online on the website when we are ready to accept them. If you are particularily interested in a staff position listed as OPEN on our FA Page or website, you can email us to discuss it.


All of us sincerely look forward to getting this convention going, and we really hope you are as excited to attend it as we are to put it together.
