Kids Need to Read Geek Prom, sponsored by Bookmans Entertainment Exchange and hosted at Phoenix Comicon benefits Kids Need to Read, a foundation that does not discriminate against Geeks, Dweebs, or Nerds.

This is the Big Bang Party! Expect fun, prizes, a live Geek auction, and special guests. SPACE GEEK is the theme for Geek Prom 2012. Dress in your Geeky best and enter the Fashion Geektacular to vie for the titles of Geek King, Geek Queen, Space-Geek King, and Space-Geek Queen! Any appropriate Geek attire may be modeled during the Fashion Geektacular, but kings and queens will be selected from those best demonstrating the themes of GEEK (as in dweeb, nerd, etc.) or SPACE (as in alien, astronaut, space movie character, etc.).

Have your stylin’ photo taken at no extra charge under the Geek Arch (restyled for aliens) or the new, mystery photo setup that pays homage to one of this year’s famous Phoenix Comicon guests. Cash bar. Rated PG-13.
