Writers! ConStellation is seeking original unpublished science fiction and fantasy stories (5,000 words or less) and poetry (up to three poems) for our annual writers content. Winners will receive a free weekend registration to ConStellation 11 in Lincoln on April 8-10, 2022, and a gift card. Winning works will also be published on our website and/or our con program book. Winners will also be invited to read their works at a special reading-room panel. UPDATE: The contest is now closed to submissions. Good luck to all entrants!

We are planning to hold an event this year, and barring a flair up from covid (or something else), we will be doing so April 8-10th.

Our theme this year is "Fandom is Family".

At this time we are expecting to have everyone in attendance wear a mask.  Additionally we plan to at least following all local, state and federal guidance in reference to the pandemic.

Looking forward to seeing the community again.

Hello, Constellation! I'm thinking about you all in what's turning out to be another strange year, but I hope one where we can all start to uncurl and get our feet back under us. The weather is finally turning spring-like here in Colorado and I can't wait to get out and enjoy it!

The kickoff event will have a live dealers room from 1-3:00 pm on Sat, April 17th.

Come take a look and see if you find something you can't live without.

This event will take place via zoom, with a separate breakout room for each dealer.  (We will post the zoom invite info on Saturday on the ConStellation Online 2021 page.)

If you are a dealer and are interested, get in contact with us and we will work with you.

Would you like to present something (live or pre-recorded) at one of the ConStellation Online 2021 events?  If so, then fill out this form to let us know:  https://forms.gle/FCh93ddsw37xc45y6

There are many possibilities to take part:

We will be having a writers contest this year, as part of our Online 2021 event.  Here are the rules, that are also available on the Online 2021 event details site.

Note the submission deadline has been extended to June 20th.

Join us for ConStellation Online 2021 starting on April 17th with Opening Ceremonies and other events during this kick-off weekend, plus additional events throughout the year.

This will replace the in person convention for 2021, due to ongoing concerns surrounding the COVID pandemic.

We have a virtual space for convention related content opening on Oct 17th.  Below you will find information that may be helpful for participating.

We also have the 2020 con t-shirts with art work from Bob Hall available for $15 + $5 for shipping.  We still have some of these shirts, and if we have your size, you are welcome to purchase it.  

Dealers

We were able to move forward with our writers contest, and we are proud to share two winning poems and two winning stories. Poets and authors will be honored -- and their works featured -- when we next convene ConStellation in person. In the meantime, please sit back and enjoy these outstanding works of science fiction and fantasy.

We have discussed the options that we have available, and the only option that we felt is responsible to the community is to cancel the convention scheduled for April 17-19th. 

We are discussing with the hotel the possibility of rescheduling to sometime in July or August, we will post an update when we have more information about this.
