Daily Chronicle: NOVA Open 2020 Cancelled

Well it is official, NOVA Open 2020 has been cancelled.  On Wednesday June 10th, 2020 all attendees of NOVA Open received an official email with the cancellation.

It is with deep regret that we inform you COVID-19 takes another convention victim - NOVA Open 2020 is cancelled. Most people will not be surprised by this news, but we had joined many of you in holding out hope for several weeks. At the end of the day, our priority has always been the health and well-being of our attendees, staff, volunteers, and the community at large. We took as much time as we could in fairness to everyone involved and are confident this decision will be met with understanding.

The decision to cancel was not made lightly, though, as the financial repercussions of full refunds for all will end the NOVA Open permanently. For this reason, we followed the trends of other convention cancellations by creating refund options, relying only on the generosity of our registered attendees, vendors, and the broader gaming community. Cancellation does not affect NOVA Open Charitable Foundation (https://www.novaopenfoundation.org/) or its raffles.

As with all things NOVA, our volunteers strive to harness their creative energies to find new and unique ways to interact with the community. This is no exception. Please take time to watch our NOVA Open ANNOUNCEMENT VIDEO, inspired by Ethan Voce, created/produced by Dan Boyd, with graphics support from Dylan Davis.

Looks like the next event for us to try attend will be the Renegade Open in November.
