If you're premiering a vid at this year's con, we have two unrevealed AO3 collections you can add vids to:
Premieres collection (vids premiering in the Premieres show): archiveofourown.org/collections/...
Themed premieres collection (all other premiering vids): archiveofourown.org/collections/...
Submissions deadline for Vidder's Choice, Premieres and the Themed Vidshow (Unfinished Business) is coming up this Sunday, 19 April (23:59 UK time). Find out more here: vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org/71574.html
Also, we now have an AI policy! Check it out: vidukon.org/ai-policy/
btw lovely vidukon vidders vidding for themed premieres: unfinished business; i will be your VJ this year so any questions, requests, thoughts, hmu!
Submissions for Premieres and Unfinished Business are open! You should now see both options when logged in to your Dashboard on the VidUKon site. Deadline is on Sunday, 19 April.
We'd love to see your vids! Find out more about how to submit yours: vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org/71574.html
Reminder that the vidding workshop signups are open! Only saying this because I'd completely forgotten and only just remembered 😅 8 more days to sign up! Deadline for the segment is May 10.
I tried to make the submission flow a bit less confusing! You're still putting in the same amount of data but hopefully you'll be clicking fewer times to get thru it. It has made the flow logic quite complicated so if anything falls over, it's most likely not you! Just ping me/us and we'll fix it 🚑
Submissions for Vidder's Choice are now open! Find out more about how to submit your vids here: vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org/71574.html
Signups are now open for the VidUKon 2026 Group Vidding Workshop! If you want to join in with creating this year's Frankenvid, all the info you need (plus sign-up form) is here: vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org/71244.html
Sign-ups close 20 April.
Our web host will be down for planned maintenance tomorrow morning, meaning the VidUKon site will be offline from about 08:30am UTC (04:30am EDT) to 10:00am UTC (06:00am EDT) on 10 March.
I’m VJing a @vidukon.bsky.social show this year! The concept is space and place and how vidders use physical locations (both internal and external) to explore emotional and psychological affect - if you have vids you would like to recommend please throw my way! (Premieres welcome too)
In-house registrations, whee! This is a new feature so if you encounter breakage as you're registering, feel free to ping me directly! The normal contact channels are of course also available, especially during Europe nighttime when I am not.
Registration is now open for VidUKon 2026! Join us 5-7 June in Birmingham and online for vidshows, panels and socialising.

The theme for this year's Themed Premieres vidshow is Unfinished Business! The submission deadline is Sunday, 19 April.

Discord will soon start requiring age verification to access adult content. Not great news! However, as far as we can tell, this shouldn't affect servers not marked as "adult". This means VidUKon's server, where much of the con's social interaction takes place, will still be accessible without ID.
We've not yet received a lot of programming submissions! If you've ever wanted to run a programming item at VUK, maybe this year is the right time?
We've extended the deadline, so you have another week to submit your programming ideas for VidUKon 2026!
Share your ideas for vidshows, panels or other programming events by Sunday 25 January. Info and submission form can be found over at DW: vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org/69644.html
As an FYI to people thinking about going to VidUKon: I’ve booked my hotel and the rates are much less than the official quote given to concom. Refundable rates for one room with two adults with breakfast were £99-£126 per night for Fri-Mon.
The call for programming for VidUKon 2026 has just gone out! Find out more and read about changes for 2026 here: vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org/69644.html
As with previous years we welcome programming ideas from first-time VJs and panellists as well as veterans and are happy to help!
The next VidUKon will be held in Birmingham 5-7 June 2026. Find out more about the con hotel and the city over at Dreamwidth: vidukon-cardiff.dreamwidth.org/69403.html
Heads up if you ordered a supporter pack: due to printing issues, there's unfortunately been a slight delay in getting them shipped. Packs should go out latest next weekend.
Finally posted my @vidukon.bsky.social premiere vid!
Colors - A vid about Oliver Wolf, Zachary Quinto’s character on the medical drama Brilliant Minds, and the relationships he forms with the people around him.
Even in the dark, there are colours.

I put together an AMV vidshow for this year's VidUKon, featuring some old classics and some new favourites I discovered while doing research for the show. The RGU entry upset at least two people, so you know you're in for a good time. youtu.be/u213hhsAt7c?...
I have some brainpower so I'm going to say something about this vid! I made it for the VidUKon themed premeires show; the theme was Gratuitious Picture of Yourself (GPOY). I'll start with the song -- it is one of my favourites of this decade and I have wanted to vid it since it was released in 2022.
My VidUKon premiere is essentially my master's dissertation, in vid form: Coriolanus (2011) through the lens of "compulsory heterosexuality fucks everything up"
