Vendors & Artists

Vendor & Artist Applications are closed!

Our Artists & Vendors are a huge part of what makes Nyancon successful! In the past, we’ve had over 2,500 attendees, and they’re all looking to spend money! That’s where you step in.

Submission of this application is not a guarantee of entry, nor is it a first-come first-served basis! The Dealer’s Room is juried, which means we review all submissions and decide approval based on the variety we want to be able to provide for our attendees. Both Vendors and Artists may NOT sell anything that could be deemed NC-17 or above. This is a Lakeland Community College guideline and any individual found breaking this rule will be immediately banned from the current and future events, as well as Lakeland Community College. (Plus, please! Won’t someone think of the children!?)

Approved entrants will be emailed around May 9th. Those accepted will then be asked to send a payment to reserve their spot no later than May 23rd. Those denied will be wait-listed and in the case of cancellations they may be asked to fill in. Artist rates include one (1) badge, whereas vendor rates include up to two (2) badges. If there are any further badges needed, they can be purchased during table selection/payment.

To keep everyone safe, please carefully read the below agreement. Any questions regarding this agreement should be directed to [email protected]
