No system will be perfect for every artist, but we are built on feedback and will strive to improve with any system from year to year. We are here to answer any questions about the process should you have them. Professionalism and completeness of portfolio.Variety of products/offerings/artwork (categories of many types).Adhering to Artists Alley rules/guidelines, removing incomplete applications.The Jury System will be based on (in order of importance): The Jury Process will begin on Jan 4th, 2021 12pm EST to Jan 11th, 2021 11:59pm EST for applications (times subject to change), with notifications going out to all applicants on or before Feb 15th. We will, as normal, maintain a wait list to fill in as cancellations from artists occur. Please know before you submit that the chances of acceptance are incredibly low primarily due to this extreme lack of availability. PLEASE NOTE: We will have EXTREMELY FEW spaces for the 2021 event, as almost all of our 2020 artists have chosen to carry over to the 2021 event due to 2020’s event being cancelled. HOW ARE APPLICATIONS HANDLED? IS IT A JURIED PROCESS?īased on feedback from artists and applicants in the past several years of MomoCon’s Artists Alley, we will be continuing with a jury system for the 2021 event. If you would like to add another artist’s work to your submission during the jury period starting Jan 4th, 2021, please contact our Artists Alley team. Only one artist will be the primary contact for the table and accept any and all legal responsibility for the space.Īrtists may NOT share table space with artists who were rejected or waitlisted, this is a common tactic to avoid the jury process and cannot be used to subvert the process. If the other artist was independently accepted, but you plan on sharing a table, please let us know via email. CAN I SHARE A TABLE WITH SOMEONE?Īrtists may share their table with other artists who have been accepted to the artist alley, provided both artists (either together as a single portfolio or separately) have been accepted into the Alley. While we do not have a minimum age for Artists Alley participants, someone 18 or older must e-sign all AA contracts (parent, guardian, table partner, etc. This includes all food products, including dried foods or consumables. The Georgia World Congress Center has strict food rules and even approved vendors (such as the food carts you see in the hall set up by the venue) carry millions of dollars in insurance coverage. Because we receive many questions about it, we will reiterate that all foodstuffs are not allowed in the Artists Alley, especially hand-made foodstuffs. As Momocon is an all-ages convention, we currently do not allow the sale of 18+ material or bladed weapons. The Artist Alley allows handmade, drawn, and printed crafts food (including teas or dried foods), drinks, traced art from official or not original sources, and official merchandise are not allowed. MomoCon will comply with any requests from US licence holders. labeling things “Hetalia” or using Dragon Ball Z logos) will have a zero tolerance from the official company representatives. Funimation has stipulated that any use of official names and/or logos (i.e. Any requests that they have for copyright violations will be taken with utmost seriousness upon presentation. In previous years major anime companies have been present at MomoCon and are likely to be again, including Funimation, Crunchyroll, Sentai Filmworks, Viz Media. Any goods traditionally qualified as “bootleg” (manufactured in China, unofficial, intended to appear official or defraud) will not be allowed.
However, fanart is defined as merchandise and prints that include the likeness of a character, symbol, or other copyrighted property, not official goods.
IS FANART ALLOWED?įanart is allowed unless we receive notification from copyright-holding parties to limit its presence. If additional badges are needed for assistants, they may be purchased at regular con price, or obtained from other artists who do not need their second badge (either through purchase at a reasonable price or donation more information available after application processing). WHAT COMES WITH A TABLE PURCHASE?Īs with the previous years, each table purchase comes with a 6-foot table, 2 chairs, and 2 memberships.
Tables themselves are 6 foot long by 2 foot wide by 30 in. We care about the variety and ability for sales for our Artists and thus always try to avoid overfilling the room. The Artists Alley for MomoCon 2021 will be slightly larger than the 2019 event (but not too much larger, as we are always concerned about optimal vendor sales). HOW BIG IS THE ARTIST ALLEY THIS YEAR? HOW MANY TABLES ARE THERE? There is not physical divider between artists and dealers for optimal flow. The Artist Alley will be located in one of the Exhibit Sections of Hall B alongside the Dealers. WHERE IS THE ALLEY THIS YEAR? IS IT IN THE GWCC?
