Czequestria 2022: Sun vs. Moon

Friday pre-party details

Three days left until Czequestria and four days until the pre-party. Does this seem strange? Maybe somewhere else, but our pre-party traditionally takes place in the evening after the Friday LARP, which is an integral part of Czequestria, so it actually fits. Or shouldn't we call it a pre-party then?

But enough talking. Whatever we call our Friday meetup, the important thing is that we get together again and, unlike a weekend full of activities, we'll spend some time together without any rush!

You can find when, where, and other details about the Friday meetup on the Program - Pre-party page.

Accompanying events for the whole weekend!

What makes you visit conventions? Your friends? Sure! Guests and panels? Some of them… But most importantly, all the fun!

You might have already noticed slots for accompanying events spanning the whole Czequestria. We have prepared workshops, three musical games, free drawing and crafting, and we are also bringing back the tearoom − this time in a new, quiet spot in the basement!

The page Program – Schedule has been updated with annotation not only for these accompanying events, but for all of them, in case you want to get even more hyped.

Charity auction – we didn't forget!

It took longer this time, but we did it - the traditional part of My Little Pony con will be part of the Czequestria program again! And since the LARP starts already tomorrow morning, we won't bother anypony with in-advance registration:

We will accept all auction items on Saturday (all day) and Sunday (until 1:00 p.m.) directly at the venue!

Detailed information can be found on the Program – Auction page.

Thank you for supporting our charity auction!

Charity auction results: Element of Generosity is back!

Making the real world more like the beloved (albeit fictional) one is the secret wish of many fans. And the Element of Generosity is one of those aspects 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

125 895 CZK
(~ 5114 €)

which is an incredible amount and also the new Czequestria record! And as in the previous years, all the money will be donated directly to Chewal association, a qualified organization providing hippotherapy near Bystřice, Czech Republic.

Our many thanks to all the Charity auction contributors!

Photos from Czequestria 2022

While a week after the con, many longer videos are still waiting to be processed, some photo galleries are already available – full of both photos and short videos from this year's Czequestria! You can find them on the page Photos and Videos – 2022 accessible from the Photos and Videos overview, which covers all years of Czequestria.

Our thanks go especially to NitramBro – the official photographer of Czequestria. You will find his gallery covering the entire event on top of the overview from this year mentioned above.

Thank you!

MLP moves from the fourth generation to the fifth, the Magic of Friendship stays with us and we meet again together – this time on the path of the Sun and the Moon.

Three years have passed since the last Czequestria. During that time, the world had changed beyond what we used to believe possible, and many doubted whether the next edition would happen: how many people would eventually arrive? Will there be interest in the fifth generation of ponies among bronies? Won’t some unexpected circumstances prevent us from having a convention? Questions that kept many of the organizers awake during sleepless nights.

But the Magic of Friendship was again stronger than the troubles of the surrounding world, and so Czequestria became a reality again, despite all the difficulties. Many note that times and fandom are changing, and conventions aren’t what they used to be – certainly, no two events or years of events are the same. They may be similar in any way, but the experience will be different every single time, because as we change, so does the bronies fandom as a whole.

In the end, nothing prevents us from enjoying the fun in the same spirit again and every time a little differently – perhaps the experience and memories from this event will fall among the unforgettable ones. Or from the next one because as long as bronies have a desire to meet at similar events, we have the motivation to organize another Czequestria!

Recent years have taught us that it is necessary to live here and now, so the main thing here and now in one sentence:

Thank you all!

My thanks to everyone who contributed to this year’s Czequestria! Although it may seem unbelievable, the whole convention has been prepared or helped by more than 80 people! They all contributed to the fact that Czequestria happened as we all remember it. I am honored to be a part of this team, that can organize such an event and make it to a successful finale!

Thanks also to all attendees, because in the end, without you who decided to come, the whole con would be meaningless.

]Czequestria 2022: Feedback is Magic!

The fifth Czeqestria is over – did you enjoy it this year too? Are you planning to attend next time? What did you like and what should have been done differently?

Every year we try to make Czequestria better than last time – which is one of the unspoken duties of the organizers. But are we pushing it in the right direction? That's the question for all attendees which you can help us answer!

As every year, we have prepared a survey in which you can share your experience of this year's Czequestria. Although it may not seem obvious, feedback from attendees has a big influence on the preparations of any future events - as organizers, we will greatly appreciate the view from the other side, where we can no longer return

Thank you in advance for filling in the Czequestria 2022 attendee feedback!
