A Featured Guest is typically
someone who has worked in or contributed to the Star Trek franchise
or Star Trek fandom in some notable way and whose activity,
participation or contribution is sufficiently noteworthy to warrant
the recognition of a Star Trek convention, the attention of
a paying audience and the exposure that would result from both. Persons
who may qualify for Featured Guest status include (but are certainly
not limited to) the creators, producers, cast and crew members of
certain Star Trek fan films; authors of books or short stories
about Star Trek or set in the Star Trek universe published
by a commercial publisher (i.e., not self-published); hosts of podcasts
that regularly feature guests or topics related to Star Trek;
educators who have taught or presented some type of class, course
or curriculum related to or based on Star Trek in some way;
professional (and in some cases, amateur) costumers, makeup artists,
visual designers or similar experts in other creative fields whose
experience is related to Star Trek in some way; and other persons
with some kind of expertise or special experience related to Star
Trek.
Applicants who are granted Featured Guest status will receive prominent display of their name and head shot on our web site, a complimentary full-weekend membership badge, and at least one time slot on our programming schedule to present an event or activity related to their qualifications. Featured Guests are NOT offered any concession for travel, accomodations, meals or any other expense. If a Featured Guest is interested in a fan table, one such table will be granted at no cost if it is for promotional and display purposes only, or at a nominal fee if the table is to be used for the sale of any merchandise or if any other financial transaction is conducted at the table for any reason whatsoever, including gifts and donations. |

| PLEASE NOTE: A head shot is a required to submit a Featured Guest application. Your head shot should be a recent color photo that clearly shows your entire head and full face, including both eyes. There should also be enough space under your chin for us to place your name. Your head shot should be of just you and not include other people, animals or props. Hats or other forms of headware must not obsure your face; sunglasses, if worn, must not obscure your eyes. Your facial expression should be neutral or smiling; it should not be an unnatural or unusual expression, e.g., screaming. Candid shots of yourself are acceptable if they meet these criteria but traditionally posed portraits are best. Preferred image file formats are JPG or PNG in RGB mode and the file size should not exceed 2 MB. Applications for Featured Guest status may be declined if the submitted image file does not meet these requirements. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
