Supporting Membership
A Supporting Membership is for people who will not engage in the live, interactive Virtual Convention. You will receive all our publications. This also comes with the right to nominate and vote in the Hugo Awards in 2020.
You can also vote in Site Selection for the 2022 Worldcon. You can always upgrade your supporting membership to an attending membership, at the price
difference at the time.
Please note: The deadline to purchase a CoNZealand membership allowing you to make nominations for the Hugo Awards has now passed.
Attending Membership
An Attending Membership is for people who will engage in the live, interactive Virtual Convention. There are a number of different types of Attending Memberships. Attending Memberships are all inclusive. You do not have to pay anything more for access to any of our online activity.
You will receive all our publications. This also comes with the right to nominate and vote in the Hugo Awards in 2020. You can also vote in Site Selection for the 2022 Worldcon.
- Young Adult Attending is based on being born in 2000.
- Unwaged Attending is a NZ resident of any age who does not have a consistent wage. This includes students, retirees, beneficiaries etc. Please contact us if you have questions about this.
- We will trust that if you become waged by the convention, that you will upgrade to a Full Attending.
Sorry, but memberships purchased from 15th April are usually non-refundable, in whole or part. Due to the change to a Virtual Convention, memberships purchased before 1st April 2020 may be eligible for a partial or full refund. Please see the Refund Policy Page for details.
Memberships may be transferred to others, please see Membership Transfers below for more details.

If you have purchased a membership and wish to gift it to another person we are happy to fully transfer the membership. To effect a transfer:
- The person wanting to transfer, and the person receiving the transfer need to contact us at registrations@conzealand.nz
- The transfer is of all rights that go along with that membership. If any of those rights have been exhausted, e.g. by nominating or voting in the Hugos, then those rights are not available anymore.
- If the transferer wants to then be a supporting member in order to get rights for Hugo nominations, voting and Site Selection, then they will need to take out a fresh supporting membership.
If you are no longer able to attend the convention we encourage you to sell your membership on many of the available fan forums. We can provide confirmation to a buyer of the status of the membership if required. Once the sale is complete contact us and we will be able to transfer the membership to the purchaser.
In general Partial refunds are not encouraged. i.e. wanting to change from an attending to a supporting membership. If you can not attend due to the change to a virtual convention and you still wish to be a supporting member you can now apply for a partial refund. Partial refund requests will be considered on a case by case basis. Please go to CoNZealand Member Refunds for further information and instructions.
Update: The Installment plan has ceased. The new membership pricing applies to those on the installment plan. If you have paid the recommended amount please contact registrations@conzealand.nz to have your membership reset to the new prices. If you have paid more then the Refund Policy applies. Please see CoNZealand Membership Refunds.
To activate Installments, you can select an attending membership. The minimum amount you can pay is NZ$75, you can then pay the rest off over time. Your price is locked to the price when you started the installment plan.
If you fail to complete payments by a few weeks before the convention, your membership will become a Supporting Member, with no refunds for the amounts paid over the Supporting rate.
