Please answer the questions below for your panel or workshop. If you'd like to submit more than one application, that's awesome! You will just need to submit separate forms for each panel application. Once finished, you should receive a confirmation including the details of your submission.

Please feel free to contact our Programming Team with any questions or concerns via email: programming@pittjcs.org We look forward to reviewing your submissions!

Returning for 2025, we are happy to provide the Kpop Cover Fest! This event celebrates the amazing kpop dancers in our Tekko community and provides a stage for them to perform on for everyone to enjoy. If you enjoy dancing and all things kpop, come to Stage Uzume to check out some amazing performers. Make sure to bring the hype!

Sometimes, even idols want to just let their hair down and go crazy - and we're here for it! New to Stage Uzume, we're excited to announce Idols After Dark, a showcase of amazing idols and performers showing off content they normally don't get a chance to perform! Whether your choreography is more suggestive than usual for a general audience, or if you have a song that's a little too profane, or what have you, Idols After Dark is your chance to perform those songs where you normally wouldn't be able to. We'd love to see you at Idols After Dark: let our idols say "F*%K!"

NOTE: Attendees are prohibited from making any recordings of any content from Idols After Dark, including (but not limited to) audio, video, or photographic recordings. Performers are permitted to record their performances by themselves or by someone delegated by them.

This application is for your badge to be marked by staff as a fan photographer. Your information--studio name, website, and preferred means of contact-- will be added to a list shared on the Tekko website, and you'll be permitted to advertise in the official event pages. In addition, you'll be granted access to the Photographer's Lounge to meet clients and charge equipment. There is no additional cost for this designation 

Stage Uzume is once again pleased to invite attendees to apply to perform solo/group acts on our community stage! Our stage is primarily focused on performance-based activities. If you are interested in performing for your fellow Tekko con-goers, read on!

DISCLAIMER: This is specifically to apply for a space on our schedule dedicated to your performance. Regardless of whether or not you are selected, anyone is free to use Stage Uzume during its downtime or “Free Stage” events, but note that you may be unable to use the A/V equipment during downtime.

In addition, this is for those who are already attending Tekko. As such, you will not be compensated or reimbursed to any extent for your badge and you are expected to have a badge in order to perform.
