The Games are the signature event of the Steampunk Empire Symposium, a civilized contest between many regional airships and steampunk groups to win the glory, the Symposium Trophy, and four badges to next year’s convention.
This year The Clan of Teks, led by Caelyn Tek, have been developing a series of games with a distinct Star Wars feel to the challenge. The details of each game will be released during January 2014, but meanwhile you can look back over the challenges from Symposium 2013 and Symposium 2012.
To enter the Symposium Games your group or airship must be officially registered with the following information and the $15 registration fee.
- Name of the airship/group
- Name of the captain/leader (person who is organized enough to keep the group together)
- Names of key crew members
- Location of the group: city and state
- When and where the group meets on a regular basis (if applicable)
- A brief description of the group (about a paragraph)
- Contact information: email address? website address?
Official registration for the Games costs $15 per team, and each will receive the following:
- A unique discount code that allows their crew members to save 20% off badges.
- An official certificate of registration that will be presented to the team’s captain during Opening Ceremonies.
- The chance to win exclusive pins for the champions of each challenge.
- The chance to win the 2014 Symposium Games Trophy and four badges to Symposium 2015.
- The glory of participating in what has been described as the “Steampunk Olympics.”
