Czequestria 2022 - Sun vs. Moon

[Jamis]

 

Sometimes it feels like there that pony meetups and conventions are all in the past. But that's just a myth! Like others, our team has not given up, and despite everything, we’re still working on the preparations, even in these strange times. The atmosphere of big events is something we are all missing and want to experience again!

 

Theme for Czequestria 2022 will be the “Sun vs. Moon”!

 

 

The theme of the Sun and the Moon is one of the main ones in Equestria stories, whether we see Celestia and Luna, or stories that tie in with our two princess sisters. They have also found their way into many fanfictions (Children of the Night, Solar empire vs. New Lunar Republic...), and now even brony conventions  

 

The whole weekend filled with fun, fans, guests, and entertainment of all kinds - starting with traditional MLP-themed LARP, followed by panels, workshops, and music games, to the final charity auction - is waiting for all Czequestrians!  

 

When: 19. - 21. August 2022 (LARP on Friday, convention itself on Saturday and Sunday)
Where: KD Krakov, Prague, Czech Republic
Event language: English
Detailed info: www.czequestria.cz/en

Tickets: buy your ticket here!

We are looking forward to see you in Prague!

Last week of sponsor and cheap tickets

 

Czequestria is getting close really fast now (less than a month), so the end of sales for Eclipse (sponsor), Constellation (super-sponsor) and Spark (standard at a lower price) tickets is almost here! After 1.8. (next Monday) only "Last minute Spark" tickets will be available - these are the same as "Spark", but for a significantly higher price.

 

If you still don’t have your ticket and are planning to attend, want extra rewards, or save on the entrance fee, don't wait until the last minute and buy your ticket now!

 

Thanks to everyone who decided to support Czequestria! Because after three years of waiting, it’s happening again!

 

 

Time plan, accommodation and transportation

 

 

When does Czequestria start and end? How to get to the venue? Where to stay in Prague conveniently and nearby the venue? Planning to attend an event can take a lot of effort, especially if you are traveling from far away.

 

The following overviews will help you plan your participation at Czequestria, or at least save time searching for necessary information:

• Time plan - a general overview of the program of the entire event
  
• Transportation - how to get to the event and back, how to use public transport in Prague
  
• Accommodation - tips on available hotels and hostels nearby

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!

Crowdfunding for Czequestria 2022 is open!

 

With less than two weeks left until this year's Czequestria, time is running out and there seems to be no shortage of important things to announce!

 

As every year,  we also want to offer an opportunity to get thematic rewards in addition to the tickets. By purchasing these, you can support Czequestria and ensure the smooth running of not only this year's event but also any possible future editions. From this year (same as for the tickets), you also use a payment card. In addition to the current rewards, we also offer leftovers from past Czequestrias (in case you are still missing them).

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).

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.

Tw3Lv3 - energy hidden in the party music

More brony music, more party vibes!

 

Tw3Lv3 is a Belgian deer who joined the fandom in 2018 to share their passion, music. Known for their collab with PrinceWhateverer, General Mumble, 4EverfreeBrony, and many more, they make a lot of different genres such as Drum&Bass and Lo-Fi.

 

They're also at the head of VibePoniez, a brony label that makes chill compilation albums and youtube 24/7 radio. Their music might be chill, but you can be sure that they will pump you up with their really energetic set!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

[Jamis]

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!

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!
