Proposals are Welcome

Portal Closes at midnight on October 31, 2025

Proposals can be submitted here: https://form.jotform.com/252306277101144

This proposal is for academic papers and panel sessions. There is also an option here for non-invited creatives to submit creative proposals (such as for Words and Worlds sessions). 

Do not use the above link if you are an invited creative. Carrie Cole, the Second Vice President, will contact invited creatives privately to submit programming preferences.  Please contact Dr. Cole directly (iafa.2vp@fantastic-arts.org) if you have any questions about attending ICFA as an invited creative guest.  

• An abstract and working bibliography is required for academic paper proposals.
• Are you willing to chair/moderate a panel?
• To which division should the proposal be sent initially?  Consult the Division Heads page for descriptions of each division.
• If you are proposing a panel, are you ready to submit information about other possible participants that the Division Head will need to make a decision?
• Can you present on Wednesday, and do you have any faith-based restrictions on presentation dates? Requests for special scheduling considerations will also be accepted to accommodate disabilities or medical needs.
