ATTENDING MINORS POLICY
GENERAL INFORMATION
Anthro Northwest was created to be a family friendly environment and has a maximum content rating of PG. As such, minors are welcome to attend any and all scheduled events.
Our dress code and terms of service is very strict and we do our best to enforce it. Although great efforts are made to maintain a comfortable, safe and appropriate family environment, Anthro Northwest can not control the actions of
of everyone in the convention space. Parents and guardians should take the same precautions they would at similar events such as amusement parks or concerts. Please report any safety issues or concerns immediately to
the nearest safety team member, or to the F.L.A.R.E. office on the (B) level.
Parents and guardians are notified that some humanities and psychology panels may contain responsible adult discussions about sexuality, abuse or other sensitive topics. Parental guidance is recommended.
MINORS AGE 16-17
If you will be at least 16 years old on the first day of the Anthro Northwest convention you may attend by yourself provided that you have a permission slip signed by your parents or guardian. If your parents or guardian are with you during check-in, you may use this permission slip. If your parents are not with you during check-in, you must use this form and have it notarized. Please note that at least one person in your room must be 18 to stay at the Renaissance Seattle Hotel. If you have a signed permission slip you will be issued an adult badge and are completely responsible for your own behaviour.
Anyone under the age of 18 may attend with their parents and be issued a minor badge. Minors must be escorted by their parents, or their guardian at all times. A temporary guardian may also supervise a minor provided they have completed a temporary guardian form.
MINORS AGE 0-15
Minors age 15 and under must be escorted by a parent or guardian at all times and will be issued a minor badge. A temporary guardian may supervise minors provided that they have completed a temporary guardian form.
Anthro Northwest policy prohibits minors age 12 and under from displaying their real name on their badge. Permission slips are not required for minors age 0-15 as they must be escorted at all times.
Attendees under age 16 quality for free or discounted memberships, however we ask their parents to support Anthro Northwest by purchasing a membership. If you have a difficult financial situation and can not afford a membership please contact Anthro Northwest
for scholarship opportunities.
