The Dance Competition is a fursuit-only event and we're hoping to run a group competition alongside the solo event again in 2027. In contrast, Beatdrop Beatdown offers both a fursuit and non-fursuit bracket. For more information, check out the briefing sheet here: drive.google.com/file/d/1n2_m...

The role won't be limited to purely these types of work and will offer opportunities for more illustrative projects, but we are looking for folks who have experience in them and who find enjoyment in producing these forms of artwork.

Everyone who sent a pitch via our events system will receive an email letting them know the outcome. We’re aiming to have all the outcomes delivered by December and sooner if we can, although we’ll keep you updated if that changes. As always, we’ll try to accommodate as many of your ideas as we can.

@scotiacon.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 6:02 PM

Our Events Team is now reviewing the proposals and working out what we can accommodate within the 2027 programme. We may get in touch if we need some more information or want to discuss something you’ve proposed, so keep an eye on your inbox, but don’t worry if you don’t hear from us straight away.

@scotiacon.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 6:02 PM

Hi folks! Now that event and DJ set submissions have closed, we wanted to give everyone who sent us a proposal an idea of what happens next. First of all, thank you! We’ve had a fantastic response and we’re really looking forward to seeing what we can bring together for next year’s programme.

If you're interested, drop our Con Ops team an email at the address below and let us know what experience you have and why you think you'd be a good fit. Applications will be open until 15th October. Please note that you do not necessarily need management experience for this role.

@scotiacon.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 5:24 PM

This role will help to organise the team, as well as helping to resolve attendee queries onsite in Glasgow, while also serving as a point of escalation. Do you have customer service experience? Are you a natural problem solver? Can you keep calm under pressure? We'd like to hear from you!

@scotiacon.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 5:24 PM

Hi Folks! As Scotiacon continues to grow our team needs to keep pace to make sure we deliver a great experience to our attendees. One of the important ways in which we interact with attendees is through our Con Ops team and we're looking to recruit a new deputy to help keep things running smoothly.
