Welcome to the official website for Tigercon 2008!
Tigercon is a FREE one day anime convention that will be taking place November 1 in the University Union on the campus of Towson University
Thanks for coming! Estimated attendance count is over 350. Woot! Special thanks to CAB, Asian Arts and Culture Center, TUGO, everybody in Towson Anime, and all our guests, artists, and volunteers who helped make Tigercon awesome. We heard mostly good things from people on the ground, but if anybody has any particular events you'd kill to keep or, on the flipside, anything we could have done better, shoot an email to our con chair.
Also, a message from our cosplay team...
Due to the fact that not all of the winners were present at the Cosplay Contest announcement, here is a list of the remaining awards:
Best Group/Duo Cosplay:
Sarah and Lucia Bewakici
for their Okami cosplays
Judge's Award - Best Character Portrayal:
Sheldon Zamora-Soon
for his One Piece cosplay
Judge's Award - Best Closet Cosplay:
Mary Keeney
for her Resident Evil 4 cosplay
Judge's Award - Sweet Awesome Details Award:
Luna Truong
for her Vampire Knight cosplay
The judges would like to thank everyone for participating. We saw high-caliber cosplay throughout the day and we regret not being able to give everyone an award of their own. We hope to expand the cosplay programming and to see everyone looking their absolute best next Tigercon.
-DeAnna Tucker, Alex Li, and Carrie Wood

Due to double booking and personal issues, Steve Bennett regrettably has to cancel his appearance at Tigercon. He's really really sorry and he sends his regards. Also, some wording tweaks were made on the events page. Final schedule will be up over the weekend, so look out for that.
We here at Tigercon regret to inform you that due to safety concerns that are totally not our fault, we will not be able to have a dance as planned. However, the good news is that the fine people behind Super Art Fight will be rocking the house instead.
The event page has been updated with the new info, and the Cosplay rules have been overhauled. A registration form is up. Go do that. Thanks!
