• Libraries: Usage of popular libraries like PrimeVue.
• Styling: Tailwind CSS for styling.

We are always open to new tools and ideas! While we aim to keep a certain base structure to make our projects maintainable by multiple people, we are happy to try out new things.

Logistics – Helper

Join the Logistics Team at Eurofurence!

Do you want to be a key player in making Eurofurence a success? Our Logistics team is the backbone of the convention, ensuring everything is where it needs to be, exactly when it’s needed!

What We Do:

• Gathering Supplies: Collect all necessary consumables from various wholesalers.
• Hardware Pickups: Retrieve essential items from the hardware store.
• Transport: Move equipment between different storage locations and the convention site.
• Order Handling: Manage material orders from various departments.
• Route Planning: Strategize and sort out the most efficient delivery routes.

We ensure that all other departments have what they need to make Eurofurence an unforgettable experience!

Key Work Periods:

• Driving Skills: Owning a truck driving license is highly preferred but not mandatory.
• Team Spirit: Willingness to collaborate and take part in meetings weeks before the convention.

Interested in Making Eurofurence Happen? Visit us during the convention at our Post/Logistics Office, or drop us a message at logistics@eurofurence.org.

Photoshoot – Photographer & Assistant

The photography team is looking for help running the fursuit photoshoot! We are looking for both photographers and assistants to help throughout the process. Note: both positions require fluid English, better English and German. We'd also expect both roles to help out during setup and teardown on site as well as processing of the pictures after the con.

Photographer: Skilled with a DSL (or similar) camera? Experience in directing fursuiters into position? Desire to meet as many suiters per minute as possible? Than this job could be for you! Due to the large number of attendees, we aim for about 1-2 minutes per visitor and about 1-2 decent pictures in a pre-constructed set, possible with various props (depending on theme) - so the task is simple, yet repetetive. That's why we would like to limit it to a few hours per day for each photographer and need at least one more to lend a paw!

Assistant: Good in quickly explaining things to people? Handy with operating a simple browser based UI on a PC? We need to keep track of who is on the set at what time, so that the pictures will get tagged correctly after the con, and possibly also to aid the photographer with handling props and visitors; the latter one depends on the theming and set design. Since this is also a bit stressful during peak times, we want to limit the "on duty" times to a few hours per day too.

If interested, contact photo@eurofurence.org

Website – Logo Designer

Every year our theme changes and with it does our Logo!

We're looking for a Logo Designer/Artist to provide us with a single Logo per year that fits our theme, either as a standalone or as an abstraction on our artwork(s) that we have for each theme. This would be a permanent position.

We'd require the finished Logo by the end of July, every year, with our Theme being decided on as short as 6 (six) Months in Advance. The Earlier we can decide on the Logo Design, the better we can integrate it into the final design of everything. (i.e our Social Media posts or the Design of our Website)

While Additional Logos, like for our 404 Not Found or Content Categories, are appreciated, those are not a "required" part of your Job.

You'd be directly working with our Website Team, making sure that the Logo will fit the Theme without too many revisions.
