Yuricon News: New Contest, SnR, Events and AMVs!

July 30th, 2006

Once again, lots of things to see and do on the Yuricon website!

The Yuri Events Page has been updated. Join us for the Otakon Yuri panel on Friday, August 4 at 9PM in Panel Room 3! This is your big chance to meet most of the Yuricon organizing staff, to ask questions from some of the world’s leading experts on yuri – and don’t leave early. We have a big announcement at the end of the panel that you shouldn’t miss!

Three new chapters of “Saiyuu no Ryouko: The Continuing Adventures of Yuriko” are now online! Visit the SnB/SnR page for updates.

And for Yuriko fans everywhere – it’s time for the 2006 Yuricon Fanfic Contest! This year’s theme is an alternate-universe for Yuri and her friends. Yuriko the cowboy, the space alien, the fish, all’s fair in fanfic. Submissions will be accepted from August 15, so get writing *your* version of Yuriko’s hunky mascot! Check the contest rules.

Speaking of contests – the winners of the 2006 AMV contest – and all the rest of the wonderful contest submissions – are up on Yuri Studios! Check out bakablonde’s yurified version of Appleseed, and Kyanite’s powerful Silent Mobius video – don’t forget to congratulate our winners. Our thanks to everyone who entered – this was a good year for Yuri!

Don’t forget to drop by the Yuricon Shop, where we’ve added new anime, new manga in English and Japanese, new Drama CDs and even a new T-shirt design! Celebrate your love of yuri in style with the spiffy new black “I Love Yuri” tee.
