THE GATHERING 2007 – CALL FOR BIDS
It's time once again for you, the fans, to decide where the next
Gathering of the Gargoyles will take place. If you are interested in
placing a bid for The Gathering 2007, now is the time to assemble your
convention staff and put your proposal together. For complete bidding
rules and guidelines, please visit the Gathering 2007 Bid Information
page at:
http://www.gatheringofthegargoyles.com/g2006/g2007-bids.html
The deadline for bid submissions is March 31, 2006, so please don't
delay! The Gathering 2007 depends on you!
ANTHOLOGY CONTEST:
The Gathering of the Gargoyles is proud to present, once again, an
anthology of all-new and original fan work! Following up on 2004's
Phoenix Gate Anthology and 2005's Eye of Odin Anthology, we're
completing the trilogy with the third infamous artifact in the set…
the Grimorum Arcanorum!
For over a thousand years, this ancient tome has made its way into the
hands of one villain after another and caused untold mischief with its
magic. But where did it come from? Who else has thumbed its fragile
pages over the centuries? What spells and secret lore are contained
within its leather binding?
The time has come to answer some of those questions. And you can help!
The Grimorum Arcanorum Anthology is accepting submissions of stories
and artwork to appear in a limited-edition paperback book that will
debut at the Tenth Annual Gathering of the Gargoyles in Los Angeles,
California.
The deadlines for entries are March 31, 2006 for stories and April 15,
2006 for artwork. For complete rules and guidelines, please visit:
http://www.gatheringofthegargoyles.com/g2006/anthology.html
ART SHOW:
Attention all artists! The Art Show is filling up fast! We have only
a few more display spaces available, and once they are gone we will be
unable to accept any more Art Show registrations. The fee for panel
or table space is only $10, and artists of all ages and abilities are
welcome to participate. For more information, please visit:
http://www.gatheringofthegargoyles.com/g2006/art-show.html
MUSIC VIDEO CONTEST:
Music video showings have a been a popular part of many fan
conventions for a long time. This year, The Gathering of the
Gargoyles again presents an opportunity for the fans to put their
"Gargoyles" music video ideas on tape (or digital media) for other's
enjoyment.
Music videos are much more than just episode footage put to a song. By
taking clips from different scenes and episodes and mixing and timing
them with music, they can do just about anything the creator wants:
highlight certain portions of a series, tell a story through song, or
even parody ideas through wordplay.
The deadline for entries is June 3, 2006. For complete rules and
guidelines, please visit:
http://www.gatheringofthegargoyles.com/g2006/music-vids.html

talks, make presentations or lead discussions on a variety of subjects!
What do you get by being a panelist? Well, there's no money in it … no
limos … probably not a lot of groupies. But how does the envy,
admiration and acclaim of your peers sound? Plus, we'll throw in a
special ribbon to announce your status to everyone at the con! And
maybe some other exclusive treats and goodies as well.
Fan Panels are currently broken down into five Tracks – Writing, Art,
Costuming, Meta-Fandom, and The Gargoyles Universe – each containing a
variety of topics. Most panels will be expected to run for about an

Ideally, we'd like each panel to have from 3-5 presenters, to get some
lively chatter going. Please remember that this is still a working
draft, a tentative list, and the actual panel line up may be changed
between now and con time.
If you see something on there that you are interested in, excited
about, and feel reasonably confident and well qualified to speak on,
by all means contact Christine straightaway and let her know!
It'd also be helpful to know what days you're planning to be at the
con (which runs from Friday through Monday) and by what
name/handle/alias you'll be going.
To become a fan panelist, e-mail Christine at: christine@sabledrake.com
