Greetings all!
Just a quick notice that Norwescon is expanding its presence on Flickr. First off, there is now an official Norwescon account, where photos from Norwescon’s official cadre of photographers (of which I’m quite happy to say I’m now a part of) will be uploaded, along with those photos from previous years which have been so kindly contributed by congoers past.
Additionally, we’re working on making it easier for people to contribute and share their memories of cons past (and future). For some time now, the Norwescon Group has existed as a single catchall group for photos taken at the ‘con (and thanks are due to blacklightkeys and nickewing for originally setting up the group). As nice as that’s been — and it’s certainly not going away! — as more cons go by and the group pool grows, it becomes harder to dig through to find photos from a particular year.
So, while the big, catchall group will continue to exist, we’ve now created a number of individual groups, one for each past Norwescon. If you’ve contributed shots to the Norwescon group on Flickr already, feel free to add them to the appropriate group for the year they were taken! If you have old photos from cons past, scan ‘em, digitize ‘em, upload ‘em, and add ‘em! We’re really looking forward to re-discovering old favorite photos, and (hopefully) finding new treasures as the groups start to grow!

While it hasn’t been updated since 2005, Don Glover/Corwyn has a nice history of Norwescon that includes Guest of Honor listings for every Norwescon up to 29. This came in handy when I wanted to verify the presence of Alternacon and lack of Norwescon 13 in the group listings (since I’m a relative newbie).
(Also worth noting, though not officially affiliated with or managed by Norwescon, is Norwescon Steam, started last year by Steamcon organizers artvixn and helix90 to collect shots of Steampunk attire.)
