Midwinter GM Information & Perks
If you are considering submitting events DO NOT purchase your admission. GM's will be able to register for events beginning October 20th at 10 AM CST along with all other admission types.
Thank you for your interest in running events at the annual Midwinter Gaming Convention. Without amazing GM’s such as yourself, our show would not succeed. You bring so much to the table and we want to say “thank you” for all the hard work you put into your events. Below are a few questions that come up each year. If you need an answer to something not addressed below, please contact us at DaydreamProductionsLLC@gmail.com and we’ll get it added to the list!
Events with NO Additional Cost to Guests
We're seeking Game Masters (GMs) to run events. A minimum 8 hours of events is required to earn a GM Pass, those events may be a combination of times/days/event types. The deadline to submit events is December 17th, contingent on space, events submitted prior to September 30th will receive priority.
Do NOT purchase your pass, one will be created for you when you reach the minimum required hours. Admission is not mailed in advance and may be picked up at Convention Registration at The Ingleside. GM Admission is not redeemable for credit towards previously purchased passes, and cannot be used to receive a discount on Jump the Line Packages.
GM Wristbands include Convention Admission ONLY, Waterpark passes are purchased separately through The Ingleside
8+ hours = Full Convention Admission.
12+ hours = Full Convention Admission, Midwinter Enamel Pin, and $10 discount on convention t-shirts purchased at Convention Registration on-site.
16+ hours = All of the above and some special GM Swag!
20+ hours = Everything already mentioned, as well as breakfast on Friday and Saturday of the show. (Both meals will be buffet style, 7am-8:30am both days.
Additionally, all GMs will earn extra entries into our Daily Drawings: GMs running 8-15 hours of events receive one extra entry each day, GMs running 16 or more hours of events receive two extra entries each day.
As a GM for any type of event you agree to run within the time you have requested, INCLUDING set up and tear down, tidy your event space before you leave and to vacate it in advance of the next event so they may set up.
What if I want to Charge for My Events?
Midwinter allows individuals, organizations, and business to submit events at an added cost to our guests, with the following rules in place:
Submitting events with an additional cost will forfeit the GM(s) from qualifying for the GM perks listed above.
Midwinter will not take a percentage of ticket sales for such events, but the collection of funds and any necessary financial reporting is entirely on the GM(s).
Events with additional cost should be submitted with a $ in the title. Example: Super Awesome Event ($).
Events with addtional cost should note the amount per event in the description. Example: The Super Awesome Event will be $10 per person.
GM(s) wishing to submit events with an additional cost are subject to the same IP rules as our Exhibit Hall. Fan Material may not be offered at an additional cost unless rights to the IP in question have been obtained, or the subject is free of copywright law.
GM Admission is not redeemable for credit towards previously purchased passes, and cannot be used to receive a discount on Jump the Line Packages.
