Velvet R. Wings - Tones of hopes and dreams Velvet R. Wings is a singer, songwriter, harpist and creator of the ILLUMNATION project that brought together musicians from all over the world. You may have met her previously as a member of Przewalski's Ponies band, the voice of the real robot model of SweetieBot or even as a professional opera singer. Her music focuses on the topic of fairy tales, hopes, dreams and life experiences from the point of view of a little pony: you want some dreamy folk? Sure. Symphonic metal? Velvet and her friends got you. Synth pop? They have that too. Come forth, tune your radios, and hear what they have to offer!

Mane in Green - Orchestral Storytelling Although her music composing passion is older than MLP:FiM itself, Mane in Green let her passion and creativity flow in the brony fandom too and since 2016 she focuses not just on the orchestral music for video games, but also the MLP-themed songs. Aside from composing, she studied musical theory and classical piano which gave her a solid background for any musical challenge she meets as she likes not just to play music but also to play with music creation itself. Her compositions and songs are inspired by memories, dreams and emotions that mix together to stories narrated by the music. Let's climb the mountains, sail the seas or fly to the horizon together on the wings of her music!

Blackened Blue – nu metal music alchemy Blackened Blue is a nu-metal musician from Nottingham, UK.

Throughout the years, he’s written various bangers including All You Need, Danger Danger and Everfree. In addition, since 2019, he’s been a regular performer at MLP conventions and events all over the United States and Europe. From HarmonyCon, to UK PonyCon, PonyCon Holland, GalaCon, Everfree Encore, and many, many more… he’s been melting faces, creating chaotic mosh pits, and delivering exhilarating performances that have left audiences wanting more. He’s personally excited to be returning to Prague for another round of pure, intense NEIGHHEM!

Ponyville Pony Posts: 166 Joined: 19. Sep 2013 RE: Czequestria 2024 – The Four Seasons Perrydotto - queen of auctions Can you imagine Czequestria charity auction without Perry? Right, neither can we because she's the one who turns it to an awesome show by combining two of the best things from brony fandom - fun and good cause. This traditional part of the brony conventions is always everything you DON'T expect: most paperwork, strict laws and processes in the background, but on the stage it's live, fun and full of random and unexpected moments - and all our thanks for this part goes right to Perry! Whatever people donate, she can auction it! Be it a flag, beverage-themed creations, or a kiss from a famous somepony. Aside from the world of auctions, Perry is a person of many talents: drawn art, voice acting and game streaming to name a few. Recently, she also made her voice acting hobby a professional career. Yay or chirp as you prefer! Oh and... will there be a hat for sale? . . . Maybe

Musicians' application for Czequestria 2024 closing soon! Party and concert have belonged to Czequestria since its very beginning, and from there we try to gradually give space to everyone who wants to perform in front of a music-hungry brony audience. This year is no different. What makes this year’s Czequestria different is the number of applications for the concert and party – although we are very pleased with the interest, we are forced to end applications a month earlier this year. If you are interested in performing at a concert or party as a musician, please send the Program application no later than May 15th, 2024 (this Wednesday) by 19:00. Registration for the rest of the program remains open until June 16, 2024, or until capacity is filled.

Vendor applications open - creativity bears fruit! While G4 ponies are gradually disappearing from most stores, merchandise from all generations is still available at brony conventions. And that's thanks to the vendors and the unceasing interest of fans in thematic items of all kinds - be it posters, buttons, or perhaps quickly sold-out hand-sewn plushies of all available sizes. Exhibitors also have their place here with the presentation of works of art and projects related to the brony community. Do you want to enrich this Czequestria with the fruits of your creativity and show your aces up your sleeve? Vendor and exhibitor applications are now open! >>> Vendor and exhibitor applications here <<<

Czequestria tickets are now available! This tree in Libussa's garden blooms and bears its fruit only once every two years, so don't miss this opportunity >>> Get your ticket here <<<

Czequestria tickets – blooming time is almost here! Have you also heard that some things don't grow on trees? This is definitely not the case for tickets to this year's Czequestria! Spring is knocking on the door louder now, and on the biggest tree in Libussa's garden, covered with new sprouts, the first blossoms are appearing. Some of them with strikingly large petals – will they grow into forbidden fruit? Who knows… This tree in Libussa's garden blooms and bears its fruit only once every two years, so don't miss this opportunity! The opportunity not only to see the tree, but also to get one of the leaf tickets for this year's Czequestria opens on May 1 at 7:30 p.m.

The Volunteer team is looking for members - you can join us too! Nothing shows the community feel of con better than the organizers asking for help from the fans with running the entire event - no fan con could exist without volunteers and Czequestria is no exception. Whether you have experience from the past or you are trying volunteering for the first time, we are happy to have you on board! As a member of the volunteer team, you will also receive free entry to the entire event (including the 'LARP'), a unique Czequestria t-shirt, and our eternal gratitude for helping make the next Czequestria happen! >>> Info and volunteers team application here <<<

Unfortunately, we have to announce that Czequestria 2024… … hahaha, just kidding of course it will happen! Did someone really think we were ending? In all its beauty, spring, summer, autumn and winter come to Equestria just as they come to us - in the same spirit, and yet a little different each time. The theme of this year’s Czequestia is The Four Seasons! The whole weekend filled with fun, fans, guests, and entertainment of all kinds - starting with traditional MLP-themed 'LARP', followed by panels, workshops, party music, to the grand finale of charity auction - is waiting for all Czequestrians! When: 23. - 25. August 2024 ('LARP' on Friday, venue program on Saturday and Sunday) Where: KD Krakov, Prague, Czech Republic Event language: English Tickets: https://www.czequestria.cz/tickets/ Detailed info: www.czequestria.cz/en Curious, how the whole event looks like?

When: 9. December 2023 (10:00-19:00) Where: KC Novodvorská, Prag, Czech Republic (map) Discussions: Czequestria Discord server, bronies.cz forum, this thread News and updates: https://www.czskbronies.cz/en/ The world seems to be changing before our eyes faster than ever before, fifth generation of MLP is going to reveal next chapter and if it weren't for the year in the name of our traditional pre-Christmas meetup, we would slowly forget how much time has passed since its beginning. Twelve years is a long time for anypony, so we are glad that even after years we are meeting in large numbers, not only to remember the experiences of the past, but also to add a few more on top. We will do everything that we can to be able to meet in person again during Christmas time and to enjoy time together with everything that belongs to pony fun. Winter Karaoke party trots on. Everyone who wants to enjoy fun with ponies in the run-up to Christmas is welcome! Whether you want to meet your friends from Czequestria (and other cons or meetups), or you want to experience the first-ever pony meetup to explore what pony fun looks like. If you do not know how Winter Karaoke Party goes, check out the photos and videos from previous years. The meetup is suitable for participants of all ages (children under 12 have free entry). So don't hesitate, mark the date in your calendars and enjoy the Christmas atmosphere with bronies & ponies! Program In addition, to meet up with many other pony fans, you can look forward to: Music games My Little Karaoke (singing with ponies), My Little Rockband (playing in a band with ponies) with songs from MLP series, movies, and also made by fans and also DDR Trotmania (jumping with ponies), BeatSaber (Jedi knights with ponies) or PonyVRville (ponies in virtual reality); these games will run during the whole event. Christmas gift exchange for attendees (see below) Drawing and papercraft during the entire event Screening of various pony videos Singing together and group photo together Vendors with MLP merchandise Christmas atmosphere, themed decorations, ... ...and much more! From the very beginning, our pre-Christmas meetup goes along with the unofficial motto "It's a meeting, not a con", which means, among other things, that meeting others is the main purpose of the event. And there is a place (and equipment) available for anypony who wants to prepare an activity for others or show others something from the world of MLP or its fans. It doesn't have to be anything spectacular – because the Winter Karaoke party is about having fun together ? Join the event program too! >> Program applications << Tickets Standard: 300 CZK (~13 €) in pre-order (450 CZK / 19 € at the entrance, we can't guarantee if you fit in if you choose to buy a ticket this way!) Children under 11 are admitted for free. Sponsor: 600 CZK (~25€) pre-order only (not to be sold at the entrance) Super-sponsor: 1000 CZK (~41 €) pre-order only (not to be sold at the entrance), limited amount! The purchase of tickets is via the payment system (see the links below). All ticket reservations must be paid within 7 days of their creation, but no later than 1 day before the event! After this deadline, all unpaid ticket reservations are canceled automatically. If you want to have a 100% guarantee that you will get the chance to get on meetup, get your ticket in advance! As we mentioned above, the capacity is not (unlike some on-site decorations) inflatable. In addition, you will help us pay for everything that needs to be paid in advance (from rental to ticket rewards) and we will have more time to prepare the event itself. Detailed information about tickets and other rules can be found on Winter Karaoke Party – rules page. >> Buy tickets << FRIDAY (8th December) – Pre-party We are looking for a suitable place – although we have mixed experience with pre-parties (the reason is mainly the size of the group and the approach of restaurants to similar gatherings), due to the shorter Saturday program, we would like to give everyone the opportunity to meet in the afternoon before (many participants will already be in Prague). On Saturday, the day is packed with activities of all kinds, so Friday afternoon is perfect for meeting up with other bronies, old and new friends alike. If you have a tip for a restaurant (we don’t know all the restaurants in Prague), let us know on Discord server or here. As soon as a place is chosen, we will announce it here on the website, on social networks and here. SATURDAY (9th December) – Winter Karaoke party When: 10:00-19:00 Where: KC Novodvorská, Praha (mapa) How to get there: by busses 106 or 196 from the metro station „Kačerov“ (red line C, to the right behind the corner after the exit) or by busses 196 or 197 from the metro station „Smíchovské nádraží“ (yellow line B) to the bus stop Sídliště Novodvorská. In addition to the main hall, we will also have additional rooms for Karaoke and other music games. The dress room is of course available, as always. There are enough parking spaces in the vicinity for any brony drivers (there are no paid blue zones around). Christmas gift exchange The annual search for gifts for everyone around doesn’t tend to be the most delightful Christmas activity. This is why we came up with a different way at our first Christmas karaoke. It’s not so stressful and adds another element of surprise. Everyone can take part in this: prepare one gift, but do not address it to anypony specific. Just wrap it and bring it to the party. Put the gift underneath the Christmas tree, and write your nickname on the paper and drop it into a marked box near the tree. During the Christmas Exchange event, gifts will be randomly selected from the pile during the exchange, and one name will be drawn from the box for each gift. The lucky person then takes the present on the stage. The gift can be anything as long it’s MLP themed; something you make yourself (whether it’s a drawing or a repainted figure) or another special thing – anything you cannot usually buy at a corner shop. Show others that you can do more than buy a blind bag. If you don’t know what to make for your gift, let the following video inspire you. Accommodation and shared transport If you are looking for accommodation and don’t want to pay for a hostel or a hotel, you can ask local bronies if they have a free place for the sleepover. As with other meetups, these are often available, if you ask at the right place – in this case, the 12th Winter Karaoke Party discussion thread on our forum and our Discord server are the ones you are looking for. The same applies to shared transport: if you are traveling via (more or less) known routes and do not want to go alone, try to ask at the same places, and you will most likely find someone who will travel via the same or similar route at the same time. Sellers and vendors This year we also offer several tables to those more active of you who want to sell something from their pony works. The rules for vendors are the same as on Czequestria (see Rules for vendors at Winter Karaoke Party). Vendors will be let in for the preparation of their table at least 1 hour before the official start. >> Vendor applications << The sales requirements are entirely at your command – we will only give you a spot to place your stand with craft or artwork. Of course, all vendors must have purchased a ticket allowing entry to the event. Volunteers Wanna join the staff at meetups or conventions, and contribute to the group effort that makes every single event a unique experience for everyone? No matter if you want to join us for the first time or if you are an experienced volunteer! As an approved member of the volunteers team (also referred to as the “staff team” or “helpers team”), you receive free entry and our gratitude for helping us with this event, because it would not be possible to organize any bigger event without a good volunteers team! >> Volunteer application << If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask! We look forward to meeting you!

Czequestria 2022: Feedback is Magic! The fifth Czeqestria is over – did you enjoy it this year too? Are you planning to attend next time? What did you like and what should have been done differently? Every year we try to make Czequestria better than last time – which is one of the unspoken duties of the organizers. But are we pushing it in the right direction? That's the question for all attendees which you can help us answer! As every year, we have prepared a survey in which you can share your experience of this year's Czequestria. Although it may not seem obvious, feedback from attendees has a big influence on the preparations of any future events - as organizers, we will greatly appreciate the view from the other side, where we can no longer return Thank you in advance for filling in the Czequestria 2022 attendee feedback!

Thank you! MLP moves from the fourth generation to the fifth, the Magic of Friendship stays with us and we meet again together – this time on the path of the Sun and the Moon. Three years have passed since the last Czequestria. During that time, the world had changed beyond what we used to believe possible, and many doubted whether the next edition would happen: how many people would eventually arrive? Will there be interest in the fifth generation of ponies among bronies? Won’t some unexpected circumstances prevent us from having a convention? Questions that kept many of the organizers awake during sleepless nights. But the Magic of Friendship was again stronger than the troubles of the surrounding world, and so Czequestria became a reality again, despite all the difficulties. Many note that times and fandom are changing, and conventions aren’t what they used to be – certainly, no two events or years of events are the same. They may be similar in any way, but the experience will be different every single time, because as we change, so does the bronies fandom as a whole. In the end, nothing prevents us from enjoying the fun in the same spirit again and every time a little differently – perhaps the experience and memories from this event will fall among the unforgettable ones. Or from the next one because as long as bronies have a desire to meet at similar events, we have the motivation to organize another Czequestria! Recent years have taught us that it is necessary to live here and now, so the main thing here and now in one sentence: Thank you all! Continue reading at https://www.czequestria.cz/thank-you/

Charity auction results: Element of Generosity is back! Making the real world more like the beloved (albeit fictional) one is the secret wish of many fans. And the Element of Generosity is one of those aspects where bronies' contribution to the real world outside the fandom becomes a heartwarming reality. First and foremost we want to thank everyone who contributed (by donating items or by buying them) to this year's Czequestria Charity auction! Your generosity never stops surprising us. Also many thanks to Perrydotto for making it as awesome and show as every year! Together, you donated in total 125 895 CZK (~ 5114 €) which is an incredible amount and also the new Czequestria record! And as in the previous years, all the money will be donated directly to Chewal association, a qualified organization providing hippotherapy near Bystřice, Czech Republic. Our many thanks to all the Charity auction contributors!

Charity auction - we did not forget! It took longer this time, but we did it - the traditional part of My Little Pony con will be part of the Czequestria program again! And since the LARP starts already tomorrow morning, we won't bother anypony with in-advance registration: We will accept all auction items on Saturday (all day) and Sunday (until 1:00 p.m.) directly at the venue! Detailed information can be found on the Program – Auction page. Thank you for supporting our charity auction!

Accompanying events for the whole weekend! What makes you visit conventions? Your friends? Sure! Guests and panels? Some of them… But most importantly, all the fun! You might have already noticed slots for accompanying events spanning the whole Czequestria. We have prepared workshops, three musical games, free drawing and crafting, and we are also bringing back the tearoom − this time in a new, quiet spot in the basement! The page Program – Schedule page has been updated with annotation not only for these accompanying events, but for all of them, in case you want to get even more hyped.

Friday pre-party details Three days left until Czequestria and four days until the pre-party. Does this seem strange? Maybe somewhere else, but our pre-party traditionally takes place in the evening after the Friday LARP, which is an integral part of Czequestria, so it actually fits. Or shouldn't we call it a pre-party then? But enough talking. Whatever we call our Friday meetup, the important thing is that we get together again and, unlike a weekend full of activities, we'll spend some time together without any rush! You can find when, where, and other details about the Friday meetup on the Program - Pre-party page.

The end of tickets and crowdfunding sale - soon! Czequestria 2022 is just a few days away! This is a kind reminder to everyone, who has not yet purchased or paid for a ticket, or is planning to purchase additional rewards in crowdfunding, that the end of orders and payments is getting close: The ticket and crowdfunding sale will close on Thursday, 18th August 2022 at 18:00. All unpaid registrations and orders will be canceled. The remaining crowdfunding merch will be for sale on site (at higher prices). But don't count on tickets on the spot: there are only a few left and they can easily sell out quickly! >>Tickets << >> Crowdfunding <<

Czequestria 2022 - vendors overview In the long run, only a few bronies would be satisfied with My Little Pony items, which you will find in every second toy store. After all, official production is aimed primarily at a different age group. And conventions are one of the places where pony fans can easily access MLP-themed art and crafts, which are not commonly available and made specifically for fans. Here you will find everything from original posters, mugs, and pillows to huge plushies. The vendors' overview for this year's Czequestria is now available on the Information - Vendors page. Cosplay show for everypony at Czequestria 2022! If one of your hobbies is cosplay, you might have spent your last weekend before Czequestria with finishing touches, repairs, and lots of hot glue. And while working, you might have been wondering whether you can show off your creation somewhere other than the corridors of the consite – maybe the stage during our traditional Cosplay Show. Why, of course you can! And in case this is your first time cosplaying your favorite character, or you still only think about starting, don’t worry – you are going to love it, Pinkie promise! Everyone is welcome to join our show, no matter their cosplay experience. We support casual cosplaying for fun, so no one has to worry to show up together with skilled creators – we all were beginners once and this is one of the best ways to start. So if you are at least a little bit interested, join the Cosplay Show and have fun! Detailed information can be found on the Program - Cosplay Show page.

You can find the schedule on the page Program - Schedule accessible from the upper menu.

The Overmare Studios, welcome back! The world of video games has been connected with MLP since the very beginning, whether it was commercial or community projects. The Overmare Studios is a group of fans from all over the world and with their Ashes of Equestria game project, they are regular visitors of Czequestria. You can look forward to seeing them this year too! In addition to news from the latest game development, there will also be an opportunity to ask your questions. The game Ashes of Equestria is a free adaptation of the opening chapters of the Fallout: Equestria fan fiction, also inspired by the Fallout 3, 4, and New Vegas series. In the role of the pony Littlepip, you find yourself in the town of Ponyville and gradually discover what happened to your world after a devastating war. MelodicPony in Memoriam MelodicPony was a composer of symphonic music inspired by My Little Pony, known to bronies all around the world. In 2014, however, he suddenly died. His dream was to record the music with a live orchestra and the brony community wanted to make his dream come true. After several breaks, new people took over the management of the project last year, determined to bring it to a successful finale and ensure not only the recording itself but also a public concert by a live orchestra, where the Princess Twilight Orchestral Suite will be played alongside other compositions well-known to the general public. And this goal is slowly approaching its fulfillment! At the MelodicPony Tribute panel, Bori will tell you the latest news from the project, behind-the-scenes details, and also plans for the future.

Vendula Příhodová - Czech actress and singer Dubbing is an integral part of animated series and films, including MLP. Everyone, who does not speak English (including the original target group of the series) and wants a movie without subtitles really appreciate it – and that's why Czech and Slovak dubbing has its place on every Czequestria. Vendula Příhodová is a singer and actress in drama and musical performances, but also a film and serial voice actor and dubber. She lent her voice to many characters, for example, Dani Ramos in Terminator: Dark Fate or Valkyrie in Avengers: Endgame. Czech My Little Pony fans could meet her for the first time in 2017 when she lent her voice to Rainbow Dash in My Little Pony: The Movie and again recently, when Sunny Starscout spoke with her voice in the Czech version of My Little Pony: A New Generation. As a character from “My Little Pony: A New Generation”; art by MesuYoru You can listen to her voice in the trailer for the opening movie of the 5th generation of MLP. An overview of her many other roles can be found at dabingforum.cz and FDB (both in CZ).

BlackIceMusic – bouncing vibes to the party! What kind of party would it be without a DJ whose music can stir up the energy in the party hall! We are introducing the first of those who are about to tune you up to the true party mood. (If the music styles mentioned below don't ring any bells, check them out on the Internet). BlackIceMusic has been making electronic music since 2014, originally inspired by Big Room music. Later, he branched out to Dubstep but then returned to focus on Melbourne Bounce and now Future Bounce. You may know him from his tracks "The Fuff", "Jinxies" or more recently, "Memory". At Czequestria, he will perform a DJ set with Melbourne Bounce, Future Bounce, House, and other festival genres!
