RulesCOVID: Be sure to read our COVID-19 policy HEREApplication & Juried Process – This event uses a juried application process in choosing our vendors and artists, rather than accepting on a first-come-first-serve basis. We wish to offer a variety of different merchandise to our attendees, which in turn offers a better selling chance to everyone. Sending in the application does not guarantee you a space!Payment – If accepted, we will send you your paperwork and an invoice for your payment to the email you list on your application from [email protected]. Payment is done through check or money order to the event company only (Dynamic Midwest Events & Promotions); never with cash or checks made personally to a member of staff. Once you have been accepted and a deposit payment has been processed, your space will be reserved for the event.

Cancelling further out we may be able to fully refund the space.Age Restriction – You must be 18 by the time of the show to have a space.Selling Retail Food Items: Any retailer wishing to sell pre-packaged, retail items as part of their inventory; such as bottled drinks and snacks (for example, Ramune, Pocky, Hi-Chew) must pay extra to cover the venue’s outside food and drink admittance fee. Any exhibitor found selling these items that haven’t paid the proper fee will be requested to pay the additional cost or be asked to leave without a refund.Alcohol: No alcohol sales are allowed.Adult Materials: As this will be a family-friendly event that will include those who may not be familiar with some common items in an anime convention exhibit hall, we’re requesting that good judgment be used in including materials that are typically spicier than a spread of fresh wasabi. Wares that are better suited for ages 18 and over may be unable to be included. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or to discuss before the event.Noise: Please avoid using excessive noise or disruptive behavior to attract attendees to your booth.Bootlegs: The selling of bootleg merchandise is strictly prohibited. If there is a complaint or comment regarding a piece of merchandise, we ask you work with our representatives on evaluating if the item is official or bootleg. If it is a bootleg, we ask for your compliance in removing the item from your inventory for the remainder of the event. Failure to comply may result in ejection from the event without refund. If a majority of a dealer’s inventory is found to be bootleg, they will be asked to leave the show without a refund.Unlawful merchandise: Items that are deemed illegal for sale in the state of Missouri or in the United States of America are not allowed.Fan Art and Use of Licensed Characters (In the case of artists requesting a dealer’s booth, or dealers selling art they’ve created in addition to retail stock) – Fan art is allowed at Anime Conbini Mart as long as the composition is fully created from scratch. All fan-made works must be original creations in regards to composition and cannot be recreations of another person’s fan-made works. No items may be sold that contain traced reproductions, screenshots or image captures from shows, manga, etc. Titles of shows, properties, and their trademarks cannot be used to advertise the merchandise (ie, advertising One Piece fan art with a sign that contains the name One Piece or the logo from the show). Official fabric that contains licensed characters and is sold at retail stores such as Jo-Anns and Walmart may be used to create goods to be sold in the vendor’s room.Please be aware that because this is one large space, including a stage, it may get loud during performances.
