Viewfest is a multi-fandom charity raffle themed around the ten-year anniversary of SHINee's VIEW, the title track to their fourth album ODD. Fan works/goods don’t have to have a summer, SHINee, or VIEW MV theme. All k-pop and related fandoms are welcome!
Your mods are kasuchi, kitsunesoba (rhysiana), and starlitsequins.
All of our background data infrastructure was assembled, managed, and otherwise beaten into submission by the wonderful, inimitable verity.
A charity raffle is fan-run fundraising event, in which participants can donate money to a charity to receive a raffle ticket. This can then be used to enter a raffle for their favorite creators, who offer fanworks (fanfic, fanart, etc.) or albums or merch for winners to receive.
The charity we’re supporting is Dding Dong, which you can read more about on the charity tab above! In a serendipitous coincidence, Dding Dong turns ten this year as well.
While we have a recommended charity, donations for other humanitarian causes will be accepted as well. Just send in a receipt with the charity name and your donation amount, and we’ll log it.
Each raffle ticket is awarded per 10 USD | 10 CAD | 10 EUR donated to our target organization. For example: If you donate $50, you will receive 5 virtual raffle tickets to distribute among offers as you would like. We call each raffle ticket assignment an entry (or sometimes a “bid”) for that offer.
Stretch goals are offers that are available for bidding when certain donation targets are met. Our stretch goals and unlocked creators are:
| Fundraising Goal | Creators Unlocked |
|---|---|
| $500 | kitsunesoba (rhysiana); aceaceaceace; AppreciationOwl (fanfic); GloomyBee |
| $1000 | harrowsong; suheafoams |
| $1500 | halotolerant; Agush |
| $2000 | moonmuse; idrilka; yeraart |
| $3000 | Cha080525; kasuchi |
| $5000 | verity; ??? (surprise) |
