Our official photographers have been busy--since before Opening Ceremonies, they have been busy taking candid and posed pictures of Worldcon, so we can have memories that will always be Spectactular.

Worldcon76.org now has a photo gallery that includes all of the photos the official photographers have chosen to share with the convention. Check the photo gallery often, as it will get updated almost hourly with new images of panels, performances, debates, pun-contests, and awesome moments at the world's biggest science fiction convention.

A note on the convention's privacy policy: The services of an official professional photographer are used for Worldcon 76. By registering for the Worldcon 76, you agree to allow Worldcon 76/SFSFC to use your photograph in Worldcon 76-related publications, on the Worldcon 76 website, or in other Worldcon 76/SFSFC materials.
