Kate Mulgrew, Thomas Dekker and Ryan Robbins will each sign one item for no additional charge during the Official Autograph Sessions on Saturday and Sunday. Photo Ops photos count as your one free item. If you wish to have an item signed in addition to the Photo Op or wish to have more than one Photo Op photo signed, the price will be $10 per Photo Op photo.
The other guests will be charging a fee (amount to be determined by the actor) for their autographs, but have agreed to not exceed $10, to sign the Photo Op Photos.
The Autograph Line will be formed as badge numbers are announced. Lowest numbers are called and form the line first. Individuals with disabilities may report to the front of the autograph line when the number range for their badge number is announced. They will be "fed" into the front of the line at that time. One autograph permitted, per guest, per membership during the official autograph sessions. This is subject to on-site agreement with the guests.
Please see the Photo Opportunities section below for details regarding Photo Ops and the autograph policy on the Photo Ops. There will be no posed photographs with the guests during the official autograph sessions. Also, no flash photography is allowed.
Please note: Signing the program book free of charge will be at the discretion of the actor. Please be sure to inquire about the charge before obtaining the signature. Also, the program book will count as your one free item during the official autograph sessions. It is NOT in addition to your one free signature.
Personal presentations while guests are on the stage are not permitted. This includes, but is not limited to, giving presents, and asking for hugs, kisses, handshakes or photographs with the guests. Due to security concerns, no wrapped gifts are to be presented to the celebrity guests in the autograph line.
Videotaping is not allowed in the Hunt Valley Ballroom.
No unsheathed swords or uncapped knives, prop, paint ball, or splatter guns, laser tag, or similar articles will be allowed. Laser target designators or laser pointers are not allowed in the Convention Areas (with the exception of those used by guest speakers) as they may cause injury.
When Ten Forward closes, the room is closed. This is so that we can get the room set up for programming to begin on time Sunday. Thank you for your cooperation.
Con memberships are transferable with the approval of the convention registration committee. Workshops are not refundable unless said workshop is canceled. No registration refunds given after July 1, 2011.
PLEASE REMEMBER!
To receive your badge you MUST present your confirmation letter and proper photo ID at the Pre-Registration desk.
NO PHOTOCOPIES WILL BE ACCEPTED
Please remember to wear your badge in a visible location or you will be asked to produce it.
And last but not least, a big thank you to all those who have given us name/address changes to keep our mailing list up-to-date!
Shore Leave has specific rules concerning charity collections done at the fan tables.
Public Space shall be defined as all open hallways (with the exception of the Hunt/Valley Room corridor), the Dealer’s Rooms and vending hallway, and the Video Room. These spaces are open to the public and no Shore Leave Membership is required to enter these areas.
Private Convention Space shall be defined as the Hunt/Valley corridor and all rooms in which programming occurs. No one will be admitted to any of these rooms without a Shore Leave Membership. This restriction is in place from 5 p.m. Friday through 7 p.m. Sunday of the convention weekend.
Shore Leave thanks all individuals and groups for cooperating with this policy. We like to accommodate all groups with space requests but need them to understand that we are paying for that space. In order to be able to continue the convention, we need the support of our attendees to pay the bills!
