dear reader and genki guestA very heartfelt welcome to Genki 2015, the 7th Genki since its inception in 2009! We've undergone a lot of huge changes this past year, both internally and externally, and while it's been a bumpy ride, we thank you sticking with with us every step of the way - you’re all majorly awesome!

One of the biggest changes has been the change in management, which is why this is the first editorial since 2009 to not be written by Allan Petersen, who we all know and love. Allan officially stepped down as head organizer on February 4th in a heartfelt news post on our official website, genki.dk, where he reminisced Genki’s history and fanbase, and handed over the reigns to yours truly.

But fear not, because while Allan left some pretty big shoes to fill, I’m certain I’m the man to to do it, and with new management also comes a renewed vigor! We at Genki will therefore, more than ever, strive to innovate Genki's content and provide our guests with new and refreshing experiences, both heartwarming and exciting!

So while we may stumble a bit in the beginning, as we all try to adjust to all the changes, know that Genki will be running strong again in no time! And with the incredible effort of the many amazing team and group leaders, who helped plan and prepare this year’s Genki, not to forget the many lovely volunteers, who will be helping out during the convention itself, I hope you - the reader - will have an absolutely lovely experience here at Genki 2015.

Have a great con!

Victor M. Alring

Weapon rulesAll weapons, including “cosplay weapons” (henceforth included in the terms “weapons”), must abide to the Danish National Laws of Weaponry.Any dispute regarding the nature of an object as a weapon is settled by organizers of the convention. Any decision made by a high ranking official is final.Dangerous and haphazard usage of weapons will result in immediate confiscation, regardless of how safe the weapon is.Any exposed metal parts of any weapon must be blunt, either by being grinded dull or covered extensively, so as to not pose any danger at all to other guests.Any weapon must not be so large, that the responsible guest cannot handle it safely.The convention reserves the right to deny a participant entry to any single event, if the weapons posses any kind of danger or hindrance to that particular event.Below is a list of weapons and items not permitted on convention grounds.

List of prohibited weapons and items:• Metal weapons, including but not limited to:• Swords, knives, maces, shuriken, etc.• Metal armor is allowed, as long as there are no sharp edges. Metal

photo/Video rulesSpecial for the photo/video rules is that in addition to warnings and a possible ban, The Reactor reserves the right to copy the contents of the violator’s memory card(s) to a computer owned by The Reactor and/or wipe the memory card(s) clean if the violation is severe enough.

In attending the convention, guests consent to the pictures and videos taken by official Genki photographers to be edited and used for any and all forms of advertisements, press releases, online news blurbs, etc., by The Reactor (the company organizing Genki), be it of commercial or non-commercial.

Pictures taken of any guest on the convention grounds must not be of an inappropriate nature.It is not permitted to photograph or record any identifiable individual(s) without their consent, if they are the focus of the photograph/recording.

If asked by a guest to delete a photograph the guest identifiably appears in, the photographer must comply. The photographer can take a new picture without identifying the individual in question.If the picture in question is taken by an official photographer, and is of great representation value that cannot be replicated easily in a redo photo, the complaint of the guest will be noted, and the verdict of usage will fall upon the PR group.

Recording of any kind is strictly prohibited in the convention’s movie theatres.

Convention staff and security, upon identifying themselves, have the right to review any photographer’s photos, if they suspect a violation of the rules.

Photos and/or videos recorded on the convention grounds may under no circumstance be used for commercial purposes (i.e. earning money from the usage of the materials), without written consent from The Reactor.

If such an agreement is of interest, please contact the PR group for consultation.Responsibility for getting informed consent of the people in the photo/video, if such is needed, falls on the party who took the photo or recorded the video.Instructions by convention staff and signs addressing press/photographers are to be adhered to at all times while on convention grounds.Pictures and video may not be recorded using additional lighting equipment (e.g. a camera flash or flash device) during stage events, unless otherwise stated at the beginning of the event.

Team leaders have the authority to pass judgement and resolve disputes or arguments about the photo rules, should they arise.If the team leader in question cannot resolve the dispute, the Head of PR is to be consulted. If a solutions is still not reached or if the head of PR is absent, the final verdict falls upon the Head Organizer of Genki.
