From the WWC Chairman
• Thursday 2021 August 19 •
Thank you everyone for joining us for When Words Collide's 10th Anniversary. It's been quite a ride. We hope you had an enjoyable weekend.
As there is still uncertainty surrounding the future of the pandemic which could impact our 2022 in-person festival, we are not re-opening registration until January. Those who registered for the 2020 or 2021 in-person festivals are already registered for 2022. Once we are satisfied that we won't be forced to have a lower attendance cap next summer, we will re-open registration. Sorry for the delay.
That's All, Folks!
• Monday 2021 August 16 •
Another year, and another When Words Collide has wound to a successful conclusion. Thank you to everybody who went above and beyond to make this year's festival a success despite the pandemic!
Unless really bad things happen, we intend to hold WWC 2022 IN PERSON! Registration and information for 2022 will be available as soon as the situation becomes clearer. Stay tuned!
