Anime
Japanese animation is one of the staples of Starfest and Starcon. The schedule for this convention is posted on the schedules page. Visit the
Denver Anime International website for more information on the group.

The Art of Presenting your Costumes
Making your costume is just the first step. How you wear it and what you do with it when you're on stage for the costume contest is the true test. A so-so costume with an excellent presentation can be a winner on stage. An excellent costume with a bad presentation can be a loser. Learn how to get the most out of your costumes. Presented by the Millennium Costumers Guild. Visit our costume display in the Activities Room or online at http://members.home.net/dragonart4/index/RMCG.html

James Cukr BattleStar Galactica ArtArt Show
We want to encourage all you budding artists to enter the Starcon 2001 Artshow. Past entrants have included James Cukr, whose work is pictured here. The Art Show, Model show, and Demonstrations will all be held in the hotel section of the Events center. No pre-registration for the Art show is necessary, your art work can be entered at any time during the convention. Enter your science fiction, fantasy, portraits, 3-D, sculpture or any related artwork. For all the art show rules and information go to

Autograph Sessions
The autograph sessions take place in the Activities Room. There are two lines for each guest, one for Platinum Card People and another one for everyone else. The two lines alternate. Autograph times for guests (when we know) will be posted at their autograph table. Keep in mind, the convention does not decide the autographing times for the guests - they do. The times are subject to change or cancellation at their whim. We encourage all the actors to sign autographs for at least an hour, however, it is at their discretion. Some of the actors sell photos and/or their autographs to raise money for various charities. In the event there are long lines for a particular celebrity, we ask that you have only one item signed so as many people as possible are able to get an autograph.
