KRAZ Official Channel🇺🇸🇬🇧
Don’t forget, the registration starts tomorrow, 23rd January 2021 at 08:30PM CET.
You can find some handy info about the registrations bellow.

– T-SHIRTS –
Due to high demand for con t-shirts it is now possible to select multiple t-shirts of multiple sizes in your registration form. If you want to gift your whole family or friends with KRAZ t-shirts, now you have the chance! There is no quantity discount for the t-shirts. It will be possible to buy some of the leftover t-shirts at the con itself as well. Selling t-shirts without valid registration is not possible.

– SHUTTLE –
You can ask for a shuttle from nearby Boskovice or Skalice in your registration form. More info and rules of the shuttle will be delivered to you by an e-mail used for registration.

– FOOD –
Breakfast and Saturday’s BBQ are included in the basic registration. You can select a full board option in your  registration form (where you can also choose between meat and vegetarian variants of the food). Buying single meals is not possible. Due to organization problems on the Western city’s Boskovice side the meals on the menu will be added later. We will inform you as soon as possible.

– FEES –
If you are bringing a (real) dog with you, please select this option in your registration form. If you are bringing more than one dog with you, please contact us.
If you are paying with EUR from abroad (valids for SVK citizens as well), please select the Payment in EUR option in your registration form to cover the expenses for transferring money from a different country.

– PAYMENT –
Payment for your registration has to be sent to arrive at the KRAZ bank account no later than 14 days after approval of your registration. If you already know that you won’t meet the deadline, please contact us in advance so your registration won’t get deleted.
If you are sending your payment from abroad, it is necessary for you to cover all the fees associated with the payment, otherwise there might be an unpaid balance in your registration, which’d have to be paid separately.

– BADGE –
Uploading your badge image and changes in your user profile are available no later than 15th March 2021. After that, the data will be processed and sent to print.

We look forward to seeing you at KRAZ 2021!
