We wanted to give all our prospective Artist Alley and Grandfather Vendors a heads up that we will be opening up registration for both next Saturday, October 1st.

We will post our 2012 Artist Alley registration form online in an update next Saturday, and Artist Alley vendors will be able to download and print it out, fill it out, and mail it in to us. Tables for the Artist Alley will be reserved on a first come, first serve basis in the order we receive applications in the mail. Each Artist/Studio is only allowed to reserve one table. The following is required:

1. Any prospective Artist/Studio who would like to reserve a table in our 2012 Artist Alley MUST be preregistered for the 2012 convention. If we receive your application in the mail and check our registration system and see you have not preregistered, we will move onto the next application we’ve received and you will NOT receive an e-mail confirmation. We are letting all prospective Artists/Studios know a week in advance of when we’ll be opening up the Artist Alley so they can take advantage of our $25 early-bird registration rate before it moves up to $30 starting October 2, 2011. Table pricing for Artist’s Alley can be found on our Vendors page.

2. Once we receive your application and verify you have preregistered in our registration system, we will send you a confirmation e-mail stating you have a space reserved. You can request a specific spot or table and we will do our best to put you in or near that area but we cannot guarantee you’ll get a specific table you requested.

3. We have 19 tables available. Once they are full up, we will close taking applications and take the form off the website. If we receive your application after the tables are filled, you will be put on a waiting list in case of a cancellation in the order we received them.

4. Please do not submit payment for the table with your application. We prefer to receive payment after e-mail confirmations have been sent out to the Artists/Studios who we have confirmed. Mailing your payment with your application will not increase your chances of getting a table.

5. If you preregister for the convention, but are unable to get a table in our Artist Alley, we have no problem refunding preregistration as long as you put in the request by April 6, 2012 when preregistration for the 2012 convention closes. You can e-mail sales@nobrandcon.org by that date requesting a refund of your registration if you do not plan on attending the convention.

We will mail out Vendor packets to our Grandfather Vendors the weekend of October 1st and Grandfather Vendors will be able to begin reserving tables once they’ve received it via e-mail. This is ONLY for past vendors of No Brand Con who receive a vendor packet. If we have any tables available after Grandfather Vendor registration closes, we will open up what remaining tables we have to any new vendors.

If you have any questions about the Artists Alley, please e-mail our art head at art@nobrandcon.org or if you have any questions about our Vendor Room, you can e-mail our vendor head at vendors@nobrandcon.org. Feel free to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for convention updates.
