BWPcon

This is an Outdoor Event! Vendors will be provided tents, but unfortunately Books with Pictures has not figured out how to control the weather yet.

This is a curated event; we will be selecting exhibitors with a focus on creating a vibrant mix of products and styles.

Applications will be open from February 6th to March 13th, and decisions will be sent no later than April 3rd. All applicants will receive an email with their status, whether accepted or not. 

Mature themes in work ARE allowed, but you are required to tell us you’re selling them. so that we may place your table appropriately. 18+ items must be carded for, as this is an all ages event.

We will have a Kids Zone specifically aimed at family friendly guests and vendors, so if you have lots of work aimed at kids and teens, this will be a great spot for you.

Tables and chairs are provided for by Books with Pictures, but you may bring your own if you prefer.

• Vendors must be 18+ or 16+ with a guardian’s permission.
• All 18+ material must be properly labeled and carded for as this is an all ages event.
• No resale of other goods allowed.
• No AI work allowed.
• You must be selling your own work, or work in which you were part of a team of contributors.
• Exhibitors commit to attending for the full event: if you are accepted, you must arrive by 10 am to begin setup, and may not begin strike until 7pm unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Can I apply with a partner?
Yes! Splitting tables is perfectly alright, so long as both parties are included in the application. This means both artists names + portfolios.

Can I apply with a whole group?
Technically, yes. If you are a collective or group looking to share a vendor space please choose ONE person to be your representative, and have them fill out the form. Art examples from all parties are required. Max of two to a Table and four to a Vendor tent. 

I’m an artist- can I apply for a half table?
Yes! anyone can apply for any table size that you think best suits your needs. We have them labeled as “Writer’s” and “Artist’s” for label convenience, but they’re not strict lines, and will not affect your placement. 

Can I apply for multiple table sizes?
Yep! Choose whichever is your highest preference and then in the “anything else” section tell us if you’re flexible with it. 

Will I get a heads up before being charged?
Yes. 100%. Fees are currently set to be “charged at a later date”, which means getting accepted will not automatically charge anyone. We hope to clearly communicate with our vendors before any charges go through, as randomly bankrupting people with surprise charges is very uncool and we don’t want to do that!
