Czequestria 2017 – we join for the third time to fulfill the dream and make the common goal a real thing once again!

Two years ago, at the closing ceremony, we made a bold promise that Czequestria will return in two years. Some were disappointed, others did not believe it would actually happen. Because… how many conventions ended for good this way? After the organization started in 2013 and stormy years 2014 and 2015 it would be no surprise. Either way, the rest was more than needed. But the promise lasted, and so did the hope.

One thing is certain: much has changed in those two years. Some left, some joined and the world has also changed. But even if nothing stays the same for long, when it changes it doesn’t mean it’s gone (indeed). After two years, I’m happy to say that the rest was really refreshing and prepared us for this year’s events, which brought us a few surprises and definitely fall among the unforgettable ones.

Despite all the phrases, the most important thing is the easiest one to say:

It’s already a month since Czequestria 2017. During that time, the most vivid memories were overshadowed with the daily chores and work, but all those memories and happiness of spending the weekend together will remain.

We believe that all of the visitors have enjoyed the con – soon there will be an opportunity to tell the organizers what you’ve liked the most and what needs to be improved for the future. But before that, there is one important thing: for the memories to remain we have prepared the complete overview of photos, videos, and tweets that reflect the authentic atmosphere of the convention.

Photos and videos – 2017 shared memories are here for you! Those that were there can relive those moments and others can see what they’ve missed at Czequestria 2017!

 

The documentary film “Road to Czequestria”

12. 1. 2016

How did all those CZ/SK bronies meetups start? What happened in the community before the first MLP: FiM convention in the Czech Republic and Slovakia? The long-awaited documentary film about Czequestria made in a longer course and thanks to the big effort of many people. Even bigger meetups we had weren’t enough, so the desire and dreams about something magnificent turned into reality …

The film was screened at Czequestria 2015 in the main hall on Saturday afternoon.

Congratulations to Honzdir for bringing the documentary film project to a successful end!

Perry, hats off for this result 😉

Thanks to all donors for amazing stuff for the auction and auction attendees not just for the financial donations, but also for the spirit they created during the auction itself. All donated many were handed over to Your Siblings e.V. organization and used for buying anti-malaria nets against mosquitos to help fight malaria in third world countries.

If you would like to know more interesting facts and info, then feel free to tweet me (@tomaspre)!

The story as well as the instructions in the Czech language are my work while the books that you’ve been collecting throughout the game were provided by Rivel Arosis (Thanks!). Translation has been done by Frolda and pipa, proofreading by Cwossie and pipa’s sister. Puzzles were invented mostly by D’Artagnan, checkpoint tasks were my creation.

Czequestria – the very best of what the CZ/SK brony community can achieve, when everypony align their energy, strength, and work together towards a common dream to be turned into a reality!

Looking back at my past makes me wonder if at least once in my life the things will go according to plan. From the very beginnings of the first MLP: FiM CZ/SK convention preparations I honestly don’t believe that it will ever happen. The question itself doesn’t matter anymore…

Since Czequestria, no matter how badly or well it was planned, has received generous help from many people, each and every one of them playing their small or big part, has become something that will definitely remain a wonderful memory of not just a bunch, but hundreds of bronies, visiting from all over Europe and beyond!

Despite its greatness, it all can be summed up into a single word: Continue reading Thanks! (2015)

Thanks! (2014)

“Know that your time is coming soon,
as the Sun rises, so does the Moon…”

This piece of the song sounded in my head all last week – it didn’t stop even after Czequestria started and has lasted until now. I would like to say a lot of things about the last weekend – so I’ll take it gradually and start with what I think is most important:
