The First and Best

Cardboard*Con is the first and only science fiction / fantasy convention dedicated to the art of cardboard costuming. Encompassing more than 3 Atlanta downtown hotels, Cardboard*Con expects for its third year to be the best yet. The SECRET of Cardboard*Con is that there really isn't a plan - you have to make it fun all by yourself, using your imagination and your manners.

Back to Basics

Forget about spandex and latex, at Cardboard*Con we've seen that the future of costuming is double-cored with reinforced edges. Our convention is famous for attracting some of the most talented cardboard costumers from around the world. Put down those pinking shears and pick up the duct tape...

No Long Lines!

Cardboard*Con doesn't suffer from the congestion which plagues other volunteer-based mega sci-fi conventions. We save you, the convention-goer, time and money by using the latest crowd-sourcing techniques to maximize your enjoyment. Also: membership is FREE.

2011 Rocked the Box!

If you missed CC2011 you missed a fun time! Our convention crossed paths with the Southeastern Theater Conference (SETC) and we had to share the facilities with them. If you haven't seen the video take a couple of minutes to see what Cardboard*Con is all about!

Sadly, this year was not without controversy, as a schism developed between the cardboard purists and the cardboard decoratists. The purists insist that the most fun can only be had by wearing full cardboard costumes, made from real boxes. The decoratists insist that it's okay to use cardboard for more conventional garments and accessories. We hope that this debate doesn't cloud the 2012 convention.
