Exhibitor applications are now closed. We were overwhelmed with amazing applications for our fall event and have a long wait list to get in. As a result, we will not be accepting any new applications at this time. Thanks to everyone who applied! 🙂
If you’d like to be added to our mailing list for our spring 2018 event, please send an email to Stacey at [email protected] 🙂
The following information provides details on our prices and our application process to help future exhibitors decide whether we’d be a good fit for them.

How our application system works
Because of the high number of applications that we receive, and in order to make sure that we have a good mix of exhibitors, we jury all new artists and review all dealer applicants. What this means is that as part of our application process, we have a team of jury members who assess applicants on the following criteria:
- How geeky are the items?
- How unique are the items compared to other exhibitors in this category?
- What is the quality of the product?
- How professional is the booth set up?
Artists
If you sell handmade items including (but not limited to): jewellery, art prints/paintings, costumes, sculptures, toys, plush animals, accessories, clothing/apparel, crochetted items/amigurumi, as well as self-written/self-published novels, games, and comic books then you should apply as an artist. Artists will be juried by a team of 5 impartial artists/experts in the field based on the criteria listed above.
Dealers/re-sellers
If you sell collectibles, official merchandise, toys, games, posters, or t-shirts/apparel, then you should apply as a dealer.
Your application will be reviewed by 2 of our staff members to make sure your booth set up looks professional and that we don’t have too much repetition in the products being sold at our event
How to apply
There are 4 steps to applying for our event.
1. Read our Terms and Conditions.
2 (Optional). Read our Tips for Exhibitors document that provides you with hints on how to submit a stronger application.
