on the subject of ribbons
Ribbons are a unique aspect of Con-Jikan where attendees are rewarded for
engaging with what the convention has to offer. You might get one for participating
in a panel, meeting with a guest, or bundled with a purchase in the exhibitor’s hall!
That being said, please keep the following in mind when “ribbon hunting:”
1. Ribbons are not everywhere; please be respectful when inquiring about ribbons
and do not hound ribbon distributors.
2. Some ribbon distributors will have specific requirements for ribbon acquisition
and not everyone will be entitled to certain designs (e.g. Cosplayer ribbons are
reserved for cosplayers).
3. Do not haggle with a ribbon distributor; be nice.
