Kōwhai Fan Fest is 100% volunteer run - but the committee only has a certain number of hands! So...
We need
YOU to fill in some key roles that will help us run a smooth, safe day. This could include:
- manning the door (ticketing, re-entry) - a bit boring, but everyone's always happy to see you!
- helping run a 'connection' game - this is something new we're trying this year, we know cosplayers can be a bit introverted, so we are planning some ways for fans to break the ice with each other and join in something fun.
- being a stage assistant - making sure the next performer is ready, and generally assisting the stage manager
- being a 'floater' - this is a role where you can move around freely and enjoy the con, but keeping an eye out for clear aisles, clear emergency exits, safe stalls, and assisting attendees with general queries.
- helping with pack in and out - putting stuff in boxes, boxes in the carpark, and helping put the rooms back to their original state!
We know it's a lot to ask to take time out of your day to help us, so we are super happy to work around how much time you want to volunteer, and what you want to be free to do and see or do! You will be trained on your task and have the support of our volunteer coordinators, and be provided with everything you need to do your job. All you have to do is rock up!
There will be a mandatory online meeting prior to the event to run through the schedule, health and safety, and all tasks required. If you can't make it, there will be a zoom recording available.
Cosplay is ok - but make sure it doesnt obstruct your ability to see / hear / respond to an emergency.
Volunteers will be provided with lunch. We are also happy to provide a written reference on request, or supply contact information to be your referee in the future.
This form will remain open till 31st Dec and we will confirm the schuedle with everyone shortly after that :)
