Over the years, Norwescon has developed relationships with many charitable and educational organizations. Norwescon is proud to partner with these estimable members of the Northwest community:
Clarion West
Clarion West is an intensive six-week workshop for writers preparing for professional careers in science fiction and fantasy, held annually in Seattle, Washington, USA. The mission of Clarion West is to provide a high quality educational opportunity for writers of speculative fiction at the start of their careers.
The EMP Museum
The EMP Museum houses dynamic programs, cutting-edge technology, and interpretative, interactive exhibitions focused on American popular culture, including many devoted to the thought-provoking ideas and experiences of science fiction. The EMP is home to the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, which honors the lives, work and ongoing legacies of science fiction’s greatest creators. Inductees are chosen by a panel of award-winning science fiction authors, artists, editors, publishers, and film professionals, and are featured in laser-etched images on the translucent, glowing Hall of Fame display. The Science Fiction Hall of Fame pays homage to the most respected of science fiction practitioners—writers, artists, publishers and filmmakers.
Science Fiction + Fantasy Short Film Festival
The Science Fiction + Fantasy Short Film Festival promotes and encourages an awareness, appreciation and understanding of the art of science fiction and fantasy cinema. Its mandate is to create a forum for creative artistry in science fiction and fantasy film and recognize the most outstanding short films produced.
Northwest Harvest
Northwest Harvest and their nearly 300 partner food banks across the state of Washington provide nutritious food to all who are in need. They strive to be the most efficient hunger response program in the state of Washington, with more than 93% of their budget going directly to food distribution.
Your donation of non-perishable food items to Norwescon will help Northwest Harvest fight hunger in Washington State.
