Hello family,
It has been some time since we’ve written to you and even longer since we’ve seen each other. Just last month we were set to announce guests and post our kick off message for the 2021 convention when we, like you, heard Comicpalooza was moving from May to the same weekend as Delta H, July 16-18, 2021. So we put our kick off on hold as we explored options for possibly moving Delta H. We found our hotel didn’t have any available dates that wouldn’t have put us moving to weekends already taken by other anime groups. Some run by folks we know and work closely with. We are choosing to keep the July 16-18, 2021 weekend so we don’t put our friends in the same unenviable position as we find ourselves in. We understand being on the same weekend as Comicpalooza will have some of you facing the choice of join us or roam around CP. We certainly hope you will join us as our 3 day weekend pass costs less than a single day at CP but we totally understand and love you no matter which you chose to attend.
Today we are restarting our kick off for Delta H Con July 16-18, 2021! Let the fun for Delta H Con-tagion begin! We look forward to seeing your awesome quarantine creations at the cosplay contest, the Zombie Prom, or just shambling down the hall!
For your safety we, like many other businesses in the city, have made the Houston Clean Pledge. In conjunction with the Houston Westchase Marriott we have added cleaning procedures to our event space. We are also reducing the total number of panel rooms so we can expand their size while reducing the number of people they seat to allow for social distancing. Masks will also be required. We are following current CDC guidance and keeping track of local COVID-19 levels. We have more details on our website.
If you already have a pass for Delta H 2021 and can’t attend we will be happy to roll them to 2022 which is happening July 15-17, 2022.
Delta H would like to apologize to the Houston Cosplay community for the recent Local Cosplay Spotlight failure. I, Sarah Skrobarczyk, would like to personally apologize. I am really sorry that I and my team failed to present clear rules and guidelines for the contest and failed in our responsibility to make sure the entrants followed the rules. Historically when we went looking for cosplay guests we strove to bring in local Texas talent to boost the cosplay scene in Texas. We failed to realize Local would be interpenetrated as only Houston by some when we set out the rules. We will clarify as this program is and always has been open to Texas based cosplayers.
We have been asked to open the 2017 submissions back up so that folks who did not apply because they thought the rules disallowed them could apply. We would love to but we cannot due to time constraints.
We would like to thank Hybrid Cosplay for their gracious handling of this and for bowing out of the contest when the rules were explained to them. A credit to their character.
We would like to thank contest participant, Lauren Atencio for letting us know about these issues.
Due to the small percentage of votes received before Hybrid Cosplay bowed out of the contest we feel leaving the current votes is more fair to the remaining finalists than starting over.
