Last call for volunteer applications - deadline this Sunday

---

All community events rely on help from volunteers: whether it is security, dress room, supervision of music games and the program or any other assistance at the venue. Planning all these activities also takes some time, so we are closing applications on August 4th (this Sunday) at 20:00.

If you still want to join the volunteer team, please fill out the application form and we will contact you soon.

Many thanks to all who registered for their willingness to join us in organizing Czequestria!

Nicolas Dominique – a big dose of addictive pony music

---

From inspiring ambient chill-out experience to melodic positive trance, his music is here to make your day brighter!

Nicolas Dominique is a creator of electronic music from Poland, producer of own original MLP songs and also remixes from the show and other pony musicians. Inspired first by MLP G4 series back in 2011, by Equestria Girls later on and now by the G5, he’s one of the longest active musicians in the brony community.

His trance music varies from relaxing chill-out tones to swift melodies inspired by “Fallout: Equestria”. Also don’t worry about the repetition in your playlist: you can listen for hours and will not make it until the end.

This year, he will join us at Czequestria, so beware: once you like his music, you will always want more of it!

You can listen to his music on YouTube channel, check his profile on Twitter for the latest songs, or tune to the Lantern In The Dark show on PonyvilleFM and dive deep into his live music every other Saturday!

PlushieCon is back!

---

Why should only bronies enjoy the con? PlushieCon is a convention for stuffed animals – a unique chance to see so many pony plushies together!

Many bronies have custom-made plush figures of their favorite characters, which are often truly artistic and unique crafts. However, there are also a large number of shop-bought or mass-made plush ponies among the fans, and they too have their place at PlushieCon!

And while they stay at home most of the year, during the con, everyone has the chance to show them off to all other bronies in a safe environment, with expert commentary included.

Show off your pony plushies to everypony – bring them to Czequestria! Check out the PlushieCon page for details.

Charity auction - it won't be missing this year either!

---

If you mention to someone who hasn’t experienced the charity auction at My Little Pony con that this show combines excitement, adrenaline, generosity, and a charitable purpose, they probably won’t believe you. It’s no surprise – you don’t come across such an experience every day.

But you can be sure that Perry, who moderates the auction, can mix this highly addictive cocktail so masterfully that when the horses from Hipporehabilitation Chewal which we support, remember it after a year, they are already looking forward to the next one  

A Charity Auction is waiting for you at Czequestria again this year! How to donate an item and other details can be found at Czequestria - Charity Auction.

Thank you in advance for all item donations!

Cosplay Show – join the fun too!

If you are thinking about creating a costume of your favorite character then go for it even if you never tried it before! Becoming your favorite character for a day is always fun, Pinkie promise! All cosplays are welcome in the show: both the master skill creations and also those made for fun and joy!

If cosplay is even a little bit appealing to you, sign up for the  >> cosplay show << and enjoy the fun at full speed!

Imalou – pony art across generations

---

Guests of honor are crown jewels of every fan convention – let us introduce them!

Lea Dabssi, also known as Imalou, is a freelance artist and character designer from Nantes in France. They studied art at the New3dge academy in Paris, became a fan artist and also a MLP fan from the early years of the brony fandom. In 2017, they turned the art talent to a job for the Boulder media studio for next three years. It was nothing less than the development of the G5 movie “My Little Pony: A New Generation” – the highly anticipated start of the new MLP era.

Among their contributions to the film are the character designs for Sunny Starscout, Izzy Moonbow, and Sprout, the 2D-animated prologue featuring the Mane Six, Pipp Petals' smartphone and the Horns, Harry Trotter, and Dirty Prancing parody posters. You can find their amazing art on Instagram, ArtStation and Twitter @imalouart.

Give Imalou a heartwarming welcome! They helped to shape the future of our favorite world of Equestria and still remain one of us!

Bahia Watson – all voices of Misty Brightdawn

---

A new generation of MLP comes with new heroes – those who, in the end, make the right choice 

Bahia Watson jis a Canadian actress and playwright, best known for her role as Brianna/Oferic in the television series The Handmaid's Tale, but also had recurring roles in series like The Expanse (Sakai) or in Star Trek: Discovery (May). Her talent to portray the characters is truly amazing and her creativity does not stop there: aside from acting and writing her own shows, she's also a musician, songwriter and singer in one person. If you watch her acting and see her shows, be prepared for a huge bloom of all kinds of creativity and life in all forms.

In the 5th generation of My Little Pony (both Make Your Mark and Tell Your Tale series), she gives her voice to one of the main characters, Misty Brightdawn and young unicorn Peach Fizz. How did she enjoy voice-acting these two little ponies? You can ask her in person soon!

We are looking forward to greeting her as our Guest of Honor at this year’s Czequestria!

Charity auction 2024 result: Rarity would be pleased!

---

A wish to have the real world more like the beloved (albeit fictional) one lives in the fantasy of many fans. And the Element of Generosity is a place 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

155 050,60 CZK
(~ 6184 €)

which is an incredible amount and also the new Czequestria record!

This year, we accepted card payments for the first time, and it was the method chosen by the majority of contributors. The benefit easily outweighed the fees: for card payments, we paid 3038,40 CZK (~121 €), which were the only costs in this auction deducted from the final amount: the stated amount of the donation is the total amount after deducting the mentioned fees.

As in previous years, the entire net income will be donated directly to Chewal – association, a qualified organization providing Equine-assisted therapy (hippotherapy) near Bystřice, Czech Republic.

Our many thanks to all the Charity auction contributors!

[Jamis]

Ten years of Czequestria, as well as the anniversary with the theme “The Four Seasons” are history now. I look back about a thousand times and it all looks a little different every time. Or do I simply look at everything that has passed with each subsequent experience with different eyes? Who knows. The past won’t come back anyway, so we move on together.

Significant milestones often means comparison of the current and the past events. It was no different in our case: ten years is a long time, history is slowly disappearing behind the horizon, and just a few people realize today, that it was different at the beginning of Czequestria: a wave of enthusiasm, one dream, one promise, five friends, the Magic of Friendship which all together gave thing the needed initial push. Add the effort and stubbornness of dozens of people, a decade full of successes and failures… and the calendar suddenly shows today. Stories that would be enough for several books (the beginning is well summarized in  Road to Czequestria). Was it worth it? Definitely!

Each Czequestria was different and brought significant changes – you will not find two same ones. This year also brought a few new things, several new records and (un)fulfilled expectations, but the basic principle remains the same: we meet not only as passionate fans of My Little Pony, but also as friends. And it doesn’t matter how many years we’ve been together, how many years we’ve known each other, or what’s happening in the world around us. This weekend belonged to us and will stay like that!

Thank you all!

Thanks to everypony by name can be found at Czequestria website.

Looking back at Czequestria 2024

---

Less than two months after the event, the shared experience of Czequestria begins to hide in the shadows of other conventions and everyday life. Nevertheless, we still have to write the last chapters, complete the last tasks (for example, attendee feedback) and finally evaluate the entire event.

Czequestria’s 10th birthday was certainly a success, and it also deserves a brief overview that we would like to share with you.

How many people arrived to Czequestria and from where, which records were achieved or what changes and news awaited us this year?

Find out in Looking back at Czequestria 2024.
