Artist Alley Application

Artist Alley provides an outlet for artists and creative designers ranging from hobbyists to professionals to showcase and sell their work. Pieces are inspired by anime, manga, video games, and other popular cultural themes and topics. Only original works may be sold in Otafest’s Artist Alley, no commercial merchandise.

Table Size*
Half Table Backup
- If there are no Full Tables available, I am okay being placed in a Half-Table
Skip Jury Selection
- I would like to skip the jury selection process and only be considered in the lottery portion of Artist Alley.
Last-Minute Cancellations
- If a table becomes available at the last minute (e.g. within the week of the festival) and I am on the wait list, please contact me to purchase it.
When tables are cancelled throughout the year, we move down our wait list in order to offer the spot. However, many artists require lead time prior to attending a festival to travel, create, or print their works, which makes it difficult to fill a spot that is cancelled at the last minute.

If you are a person who does not require such lead time and would like to be on a short-list of artists contacted to replace a last minute cancellation, please check the box above.
Placement Preference
You may request specific placement criteria below. We do not guarantee that you'll be placed where requested, but we will do our best. Adding a preference will not affect your chances of receiving a table (but you may not receive the location you ask for).
Placement - First Choice

Link	Description/Notes (Optional)

Click the + symbol to add more rows.
Please provide us with 5-10 links to examples of artwork you plan to sell at Otafest. You don't need to list everything you plan to sell, but it should be a decent representation. Please provide images of singular work primarily. Showing setups from other conventions is unhelpful as we can’t get a good look at the artwork.

By checking this box, I understand that I am entering a legally binding contract with the Otafest Film and Cultural Festival Planning Committee, the terms of which are located in this year's Artist Alley Contract.
