I am so excited to announce we are now ready to accept bids for the 15th Anniversary Party of TarValon.Net in 2016! If you are tired of trekking across the continent when there’s a wonderful place for our event right in your own backyard, this post is for you.
This year we are trying a new process for taking bids. We’re asking that you pick a specific venue or site and do the initial research for it as part of your bid. We aren’t expecting you to finish all the planning, but we would like to see you lay out a plausible scenario for the event at your venue of choice.
Things to keep in mind:
If you have any questions or concerns about the bidding process in general, your bid in particular, or being a Local Liaison, feel free to email me directly at events@tarvalon.net or post below!

We aren’t expecting you to finish all the planning, but we would like to see you lay out a plausible scenario for the event at your venue of choice.
Things to keep in mind:
- If your bid is selected, YOU will be an integral part of the planning. By making a bid, you are volunteering to be the Local Liaison.
- The Local Liaison is essentially a staff position in the Department of Events and Conferences with a term of about 14 months.
- You will be our eyes and ears on the spot. You will be expected to do a lot of the leg work to find accommodations, local activities, and transportation options.
- Anni is generally held in the spring (February - May) in a campground type location. The venue should have cabin-like living arrangements, kitchen space for meal preps (or on-site dining services), and space for events such as sword fighting or archery.
- Preferred site locations are moderately isolated. We tend to be fairly loud so being 10 feet from a cabin holding a girl scout meet wouldn't be the best location.
- Normal Anni attendance is 60-90 people.
- We aim for ticket prices somewhere around $150 - $180 and about 85% is allocated for food and lodgings.
- You can view all the bid questions here before actually filling out the form.
- If you have multiple venues in mind, go ahead and submit more than one bid!
- If you’re missing answers to a question that is required, make a note about why you don’t know instead. Perfection isn’t necessary!
