The Ribbon Hunt Has Begun!
Throughout all three days of MiraiCon, collectible ribbons will be hidden, traded, earned, and discovered across the convention! Some ribbons are incredibly easy to get — others may take a little detective work, participation, or luck to track down. Collect and trade with staff, panelists, guests, volunteers, and fellow attendees, discover hidden gems, and see how many ribbons you can collect by the end of the weekend!
Ribbons are free to collect and are one of the most beloved convention traditions around. The more you explore, interact, and participate, the more ribbons you’ll uncover!
Add some fandom flair to your badge and join the fun with MiraiCon’s official Ribbon Hunt!
Want to create your own ribbon and keep the hunt going? Read below to learn how to order and distribute your own custom convention ribbons through the official MiraiCon Ribbon Program.
Custom badge ribbons are available for guests, vendors, and attendees to design and order in advance. Attendees, vendors, guests, panelists, and fan groups are all welcome to create ribbons and join the fun! Ribbon creators can order custom ribbons through the MiraiCon Ribbon Hunt and distribute them throughout the event however they choose.
Whether you want to reward attendees for visiting your booth, attending your panel, trading, participating in games, or simply spreading some convention chaos — ribbons are a fun way to connect with the community and become part of the hunt!

Ribbon Distribution (How to Obtain)
When submitting a ribbon, creators are encouraged to share how attendees can receive it. This helps make the Ribbon Hunt more interactive and fun for everyone.
Examples may include:
Trading with the creator
Completing a small interaction (e.g., “tell me you stayed hydrated”)
Attending a specific panel or event
While some level of creativity and exclusivity is encouraged, we recommend avoiding restricting ribbons to a single specific day, time, or outfit/cosplay only. Ribbons should remain reasonably attainable throughout the convention so all attendees have a fair opportunity to participate.
