PAWApply

PAWApply is a Django based website for Furry Conventions to facilitate helping Attendees apply for:

• Dealers Den (Shopping District/Merchants)
• Volunteering
• Party Floor
• Panels
• Dance Comp

With the exception of Volunteers all of these can be toggled on and off per event.

Additionaly it's designed to automate handling of each of them. With a robust management console its very easy to approve an application, or request a payment. A lot of steps have automated emails sent as well.

This was originally designed for Pacific Anthropomorphics Weekend (PAWCon)
