Positions available include: greeters, badge enforcers, security assistance, ticketing assistance, vendor relief team, and volunteer relief team.

Welcome to the UwU Idol Stage!

 

We recognize that not every talent fits into our panels, contests or other events and so we wanted to provide a place for you all to strut your stuff.

 

Dancers, dance groups, singers, magicians, bands, acrobats, martials artists, interactive media and other performers are strongly encouraged (nothing adult themed) to sign up for a spot on stage. The UwU Idol Stage will be running all three days at UwU Con, so here's your chance to get in front of the whole show.

 

Those awarded a performance spot, will be given a day badge for UwU Con for their performance day or a discount to upgrade to a Full Event Badge!

UwU Con welcomes media outlets from Phoenix, AZ, and around the world, and we’re happy to provide approved members of the media with complimentary Media badges. The Media badge application for 2026 is now accepting applicants.

Vendors may purchase a 1 day spot, 2 consecutive day spot, or all 3 days spot. Each spot will be an estimated 6' table with limited additional space, located outside the main entrance under the shaded area of the Mesa Convention Center during the UwU Con October 2-4, 2026.
