Theme Choosing
Themes are chosen at the last meeting of the year before the con. This way we can announce the theme for the following year during closing ceremonies.
All staff may suggest themes for the following year and the suggestions are voted on by the staff present at the meeting. Generally, the staff may vote on as many themes as they want (with a limit of once per theme) until the theme choice is narrowed down to just a few, and then everyone has to vote on their final choice.
Themes are disqualified if the convention has ever used it, or if a nearby convention has used it in the last 10 years or will be using it in an upcoming year (to our knowledge). Additionally, since there is a local annual SteamPunk event, Steampunk is also disqualified as an option.
