Animals. ADA working animals are allowed in the convention space. Non-ADA animals are not permitted.
Harassment and Assault. Chibi Chibi Con has a zero-tolerance policy on harassment and assault of any kind. Harassment is any behavior that intentionally annoys, threatens, or alarms another person. This includes any unwanted physical contact, following someone without a legitimate reason, or threatening to physically harm someone.
Treat everyone respectfully without regard to their race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, or physical and mental ability. Do not make unwanted sexual comments or advances towards anyone at CCC, including attendees, merchants, or CCC volunteers. If someone asks to be left alone, honor their request.
Should you experience treatment you feel is discriminatory behavior, harassment, or assault, please visit this emergency plan page.
Illegal Substances. Any illegal substance abuse or paraphernalia will be reported to the appropriate authorities. Marijuana may be legal in Washington, but it is not legal federally, and Evergreen is a federally funded campus; do not bring marijuana to CCC.
Photography. Photography and video of large events and crowds are allowed. Do not let this disrupt events or floor traffic. Cosplay is not consent! Please be considerate and ask first before taking pictures of any individuals. Do not photograph artists’ tables without explicit permission. Do not attempt to photograph “upskirts” in any fashion. Violators will be ejected from the premises and possibly banned.
PDA. Please do not engage in excessive PDA, CCC is considered a family event and we ask that you behave accordingly.
No Live Action Role Playing (LARPing) is allowed. Activities such as ‘glomp circles’ that involve horseplay and rough contact with fellow attendees are prohibited whether consent is given or not. If we have to break up one of these, the participants will be asked to leave the convention. Do not strike any other person with any part of your body, cosplay props or weapons or projectiles coming from any of the aforementioned.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SWING OR FIRE ANYTHING AT ANYONE OR ANYTHING ON CAMPUS. Even with consent, there will be a zero-tolerance policy on this. Exception will be made for posing for photographs only in raising the prop to assume a pose. If you strike anyone intentionally or by accident, you alone will be responsible for any legal repercussions. Chibi Chibi Con and The Evergreen State College assume no responsibility for assault charges brought upon you by these actions.

However, they must have a sign or sticky note attached to these items stating their nature and they must check the ID of EVERY SINGLE PERSON who attempts to browse or purchase them. Attempts by minors to browse or purchase R-18 goods will be treated as a violation of CCC Code of Conduct. Merchants may not display R-18 goods with explicit covers, boxes, or displays, even if these are censored with sticky notes or other barriers. PLEASE REPORT MERCHANTS OR ATTENDEES BREAKING THIS RULE TO THE INFO BOOTH OR TO evergreenchibicon@gmail.com IMMEDIATELY.
