Summary: Non-interference might be the ideal, but it’s not proving practical.
VidUKon 2026 Themed Premieres Show!
Feb. 24th, 2026 07:54 pmcondnsdmlk posting in vidukon_cardiffSend us your vids* for sources that left you hanging in some way. Examples include:
- Shows that were cancelled before their time
- Movie endings that felt rushed
- Books that didn’t get their anticipated sequel.
Vids do not have to be about the Unfinished aspect of the source, but we do encourage vidders to consider that in their vids where possible! We also enjoy unexpected interpretations of the prompt – if you’re unsure, please do get in touch with a member of concom or email us at vidukon@gmail.com.
*Please only send us at most one (1) vid for this show! The vid must be a premiere and will be shown in a dedicated vidshow at VidUKon. The submission deadline for this show is Sunday 19 April at 23:59 British Summer Time (UTC+1).

Squidge Images - PLEASE READ!
Feb. 22nd, 2026 10:24 amsquidgestatusThe first update is we have opened up signup access for Squidge Images. Instead of having to leave us a ticket for an image hosting account, we have decided that it's been long enough, and the folks who were abusing image hosting have most likely moved on. So all that is done.
Second, and most important, Squidge Image Hosting will be down starting at 8am Pacific on Sunday, March 1st for an upgrade. Read that again. I say this because we will inevitably get 8,000 tickets asking us why image hosting is down, and when will it be back up again. Seriously. We've seen this with FenRecs.com posts - they are completely ignored and people will log tickets asking when it will be back (later this week, we hope!). This upgrade is important because will be transitioning from on-site hosting of images to remote hosting of images. Oh, and the upgrade should bring video support as well! So if you have videos you need hosting and, like us, hate Youtube, you'll be able to host your videos on Squidge Images.
Again, Squidge Image Hosting will be down starting at 8am Pacific time on Sunday, March 1st for an upgrade. We hope to be fully upgraded and back up within four hours, but we all know technology can be a giant pain sometimes.

VidUKon 2026: 5 to 7 June in Birmingham and Online!
Feb. 22nd, 2026 08:02 pmcondnsdmlk posting in vidukon_cardiffVidUKon 2026 is just over three months away! Here are the essential things to know so far about this year's convention:
First of all, it takes place 5-7 June 2026 in both Birmingham and online. As usual, Friday programming will begin – online and in person – in the afternoon while Thursday evening will include some online-only pre-con programming to kick things off.
If you’d like to attend, we're aiming to open registration by 7 March (barring any unforeseen tech issues) and we'll post more about that right here, so keep an eye out. The deadline to register for in-person attendance is 30 April. Online registration will remain open until pretty close to the con, but if you'd like addons (the conbook + extras) you'll need to register by 15 May.
If you’re joining us in person, you will probably also want to know about hotel room bookings and finding a roommate. We don't have a block on rooms this year, so attendees need to book directly on the hotel website through a travel booking site. We've been told Agoda may have competitive rates, so it's worth checking there too.
The call for programming has closed and we'll be contacting folks who sent through suggestions soon with further steps. The theme for this year's themed show is Unfinished Business. More details here.
Vid submission deadlines
We will have our three usual vidshows that VidUKon attendees can submit a vid to. You can submit up to one vid to each of these shows. The shows are Vidder’s Choice (a vid from your back catalogue), Premieres (a never-before-shown vid), and a show of vids fitting a specific theme. This year's themed vidshow will again be premieres-only. The deadline for all vidshows is 19 April. Please note that vid submissions are not yet open, we will post when they are.
With more updates to come, make sure to keep an eye on our social media – you'll always find the latest updates here on Dreamwidth, plus you can keep tabs on us via Tumblr and Bluesky.
Those dates in chronological order:
7 March – registration opens
19 April – deadline to submit to Vidder’s Choice, Premieres and the themed submissions show
30 April – deadline to register for in-person attendance
15 May – deadline to register for online attendance + addons (conbook, etc)
5-7 June – VidUKon \o/
We hope to see you at this year’s con!
