Volunteer Rewards Program
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. -
Aesop
If the coordinators are the brains behind a convention, then the
volunteers are the blood that helps it to function. The brain cannot run
without blood, just as much that an anime convention can't live without
its volunteers.
With such a large convention, a large number of volunteers is needed to
ensure the success of the event. Volunteering also helps ensure that
there will be an Otakuthon next year, since it takes a lot of hard work
and effort to organize and run a convention, but it becomes a bit less difficult
when more people come and help out.
With a wide range of activities to volunteer for - such as
registration, panels, hosting workshops and even fundraising -
volunteering isn't such a boring task. Every volunteer helps to make a
convention safer and more enjoyable for the convention-goers and less
crazy for the organizers.
Volunteering can also make a difference for your wallet. Registration
reimbursements are being offered this year to those who volunteer their
time to help out. The list below is the rewards system which will be in
place this year.
