About the event
About the application
Thank you for wanting to be part of AWA 2026!
Acceptance, rejection, and waitlist emails will be sent on a rolling basis.
If you need to reach out to us for anything, please email panels@awa-con.com.
Terms & Conditions
- Panelist and co-host must be at least 16 years old by 11/15/2026
- Directly involve Anime, Manga, or Asian pop culture.
- Don’t involve aggressive physicality. We know that “battle chess” and other such games are super fun, but we don’t have the room or oversight to make sure they run safely. However, panels that are yoga-based, or dance workshops are completely okay and we welcome them, and we might even join in! If you are unsure if your panel is physically aggressive, then please email us at panels@awa-con.com.
- Speed or Blind dating Panels? You can complete a panel submission, but please be mindful of the strict planning of these events. We need to make sure that all attendees are comfortable and safe while in attendance. With that being said, AWA is a large gathering of people with similar interests- Any event could be the place for you to meet new besties!
- Panels for all audience age groups are welcome, just make sure to let us know your panel is 18+ if it is intended for more adult audiences!
- If you have any other questions about this information or the submission form, please send an email to panels@awa-con.com.
