You can submit a panel anytime during the panel submission period.
For AnimeIowa 2021 the submission period is from February 1st to March 28th, 2021
While we cannot give you exact time choices, you can choose several time periods that you would like your panel to be held. Remember that panels are considered on a first come first serve basis so you will have a better chance of getting your desired date and time if you submit early!
Yes, upon completion of the form you will get an email confirmation that your panel was submitted. Panel status emails will be sent out at a later date to the Lead Panelist.
Status emails will be sent out to all Lead Panelists after the Panel Submission Tier Period your panel was submitted in ends.
After status emails have been sent out for all submissions in a tier, the paneling team will begin
placing panels into the schedule. Once we have them plugged in you will receive an email with
the details for your panel. If you have any concerns about your details just email us back!
Submit an email to programming.dept@animeiowa.com and let us know as soon as possible. Please do not wait until the last minute if possible.

That’s alright. As long as you have your Lead Panelist and Assistant Panelist you can just include the participants that you know and send us an email later with the others and we will get them added to the panelist list.
While we cannot cater to everyone, we can try avoid scheduling your panel around big events or other specific panels. Just include this in your submission form.
