fanworks> Panel submissions are now open for FanWorks 2022! <
The deadline for panel submissions is Friday, July 15th.
The submission form covers panels for both the online and Chicago cons. If you're attending virtually, your panel(s) will be considered for the online con; if you're attending in Chicago, your panel(s) will be considered for the Chicago con. If you aren't sure yet which con you'll be attending, you can indicate that on the form, and we'll work that out with you if your panel is chosen for the schedule.
You can submit topics without volunteering to moderate them, but panels with volunteer moderators will be given priority when selecting panels. This year, because of the newness of the hybrid format, panels will be chosen by con staff. We'll be selecting panels with the goal of getting an even spread of panels for each of our fanwork tracks, across both parts of the hybrid con (Chicago and online).
The five programming tracks at FanWorks are:
These are just examples of the kinds of things that might fit into each track - not exhaustive lists! If you have an idea for a panel but aren't sure where it fits, take your best guess when filling out the form, and we can take it from there.
We can't do FanWorks without panels, and we can't do panels without you! Any con attendee interested in submitting a panel (or multiple panels) is encouraged to do so. If you have any questions about panel programming, please email fanworksprogramming@gmail.com.

The five programming tracks at FanWorks are:
- Art - drawing, painting, manips, gifs, graphic design, cosplay, textile art, models, jewelry, decor - the track page has many more examples!
- Audio - podfic, podcasts, fan music, filk, fanmixes
- Community - platforms (social media, blogs, discord etc.), events (exchanges, fests, cons), curation (recs, wikis), and broader topics related to fanworks that don't fit a specific track
- Video - fanvids, edits, meta videos, fan filmed content, supercuts
- Writing - fanfic (writing, reading, beta), meta, poetry, zines
