We are contemplating moving our event dates to May 2015 instead of September 2015 and we want to see what y'all would think! We feel that it may be a better time of year for everyone of all ages as far as being able to attend goes, but what do you think?
We want to give a big thank you to everyone who attended BronyFanFair this past weekend!!
Without you guys there would be no convention and we want to think each and everyone of you from the bottom of our hearts. We are truly grateful.
If you have any thing you want to comment on, rather it be something you really liked that you would like us to try and do again next year, or something you had a problem with, I invite you you send us an ask on here.
We want BronyFanFair 2015 to be nothing but fun all around!

Tentative floor map for Brony Fan Fair 2014. Please make note of Registration’s location! Signs will be posted to direct attendees.
Thank you everyone for waiting! We’re excited to make the first draft of our schedule of events public for everyone to view! Lots of fun panels and events to be had, including our signature Sing Along and Whooves Line is it Anyway panels! If you haven’t noticed already, we’re also big on promoting the art of cosplay so don’t be afraid to stop by one of our cosplay panels to learn more from our veteran cosplayers.
Attendees over the age of 18 will be pleased to see an increase of mature panels for our late night programming (after the youngin’s have gone to bed). Our Guests Uncensored is back for its third year and we have no idea what will be discussed or even what will happen (part of the fun!).
You can view the schedule here.
We also want to add a special thank you to everyone who submitted a panel this year. Without your help, making this convention extra fun would be super difficult. If you haven’t already received an email about the acceptance of your panel, expect one from our events coordinator, John Baird, soon!
We’re excited to announce that we’ve added divisions to our costume contest: a Children’s Divison, an Open Division, and an Advanced Division. This decision was made in an effort to provide a fair chance of competition for our participants of all skill levels. In accordance, we’ve also added a few more prizes to adjust for our new format, including a framed undedicated autograph from Tabitha St. Germain, the voice actress of Rarity and Princess Luna, straight from our chairman’s personal collection.
While we left the rules have mostly unchanged, participants in the Children’s division can participate without the 70% self-made rule applying to them. Additionally, all children 13 and under will receive a participation prize. For our Open Division, we replaced Best in Show with Best in Open Division, but our other awards will remain the same as past years. However, for our higher skill level craftsmen/craftswomen, we’ve implemented the Advanced division, where the stakes are raised as we’ll only be giving out ONE award for this division. However, this award also comes with the opportunity to judge our 2015 contest and Tabitha St. Germain’s autograph, undedicated for the skillful winner of this division.
