Tsukino-Con 2017 Feedback Survey!

Hey!  Hope you’re all doing well, you look great today!

Thank you to everyone who submitted feedback VIA the ask box for me to read at the feedback meeting.  I didn’t make a post about it after the meeting but they did get read, and the response from the other staff was good!

Good enough in fact that I’ve got the go-ahead to setup a more in-depth feedback form Just Click Here! 

It may look a little daunting with so many questions (I actually wanted to have quite a few more but we had to rein it in) but I’d really appreciate it if you could take two minutes to fill it out and let us know what worked or didn’t work so we can fix it for next year!

Especially if there’s any negative feedback!! If you had anything less than a stellar experience please don’t feel guilty for submitting that, that’s exactly the stuff I need to have so I can wave it aggressively in the other staff members faces to make sure that changes happen!

I’ve also included a link on our actual tumblr page to the survey so if you happen to lose this post, you’ll still be able to find the form.  

Thanks a lot for reading, have a good weekend everyone!

THE FULL RULES * These are not yet fully updated on the Tsukino-Con site though they will be within the next few days and I will link that page at that time. In the meantime, this forum post is gospel!

The Tsukino-Con AMV Contest is one of Tsukino-Con’s largest events, airing for about 2-3 hours at the con. The event is a showcase of fan-made music videos submitted directly by creators both local and from all over the world where you, the audience, get to vote on your favourites. The contest is open to anyone—amateurs, professionals, and everyone in between.

The deadline for submissions is: Sunday, February, 5th 2017, at 11:59PM PST.
