Events:

Fursuit Meet and Greet
A place to meet the other fursuiters at the convention. We will have some music and games along with an introduction to some of the programming for fursuiters this year. The fursuit staff will also be around to answer any questions you may have.

Fursuit Dance Competition
Back for it’s 4th year! This year, the top three finalist will receive a free FWA t-shirt, and the winner will also receive a free 2012 FWA membership! This is a really fun event to be part of and I would encourage all the fursuiters out there to give a shot at trying out. There will be 2 try-out times for the event, one on Friday and one on Saturday. Come to the tryouts with music in paw or at least a style of music in mind. Please come to the tryouts in fursuit (at least a partial). Keep in mind that every performance will be cut off at 90 seconds! The competition itself will be held on Saturday night.

Fursuit Parade
This year the fursuit parade will start ON TIME. Please show up during the line-up period, and you will receive a free gift if you do. There are a limited number of gifts, but hopefully it will be enough for everyone to get one. If you’re late though, don’t expect any to be left around. This year we are not emphasizing a single-file line; feel free to walk and parade at your own pace, and you are free to interact with the crowds and cameras as much as you want.

Fursuit Games I
Fursuit Games I are meant to be a fun, enjoyable, probably pretty crazy event for fursuiters and spectators. This set of games will be a little less physically intensive then the Olympics,

Fursuit Games II : Olympics
This event is designed to be more physical then Fursuit Games I. For the “Olympic Games,” with medals for the winners! It will be team-based with each team being about 5 fursuiters, depending on how many show up. Feel free to figure out your own team before the competition begins. If you show up without a team, we can find you one to join. Try not to show up late to this event, as once teams are set they probably wont be changed. We should be able to accommodate up to 8 teams. The games will test abilities such as agility, power, cunning, and teamwork.

Fursuit Costume Contest
This event will showcase the best fursuit costumes of the convention. We would love to get as much participation as possible this year so this event can continue to be a mainstay at FWA!  Costumes that are specific to the theme  will be given the highest marks.
