Artist Alley Rules now Posted
Inyx
The AnimeNEXT Artist Alley rules have now been posted to the website--
in the Artist Alley section. I will include them in this post as well.
Please read them over carefully. If you have any questions about the
rules please post them to the forum here: http://www.animenext.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=9731
Also, I am aware that when you send e-mail directly to the artshow
@animenext e-mail that you will receive an error message. I am getting
these e-mails. Please wait 24 hours for a response before you send
another e-mail or post the question to the forum, pm me or use the
AnimeNEXT contact form. I am getting flooded with repeated e-mails.
And if you are looking for the most up to date information and
discussion about the artist alley, please go to the forum.

Artist Alley Rules:
1. Convention Badges: All artists who wish to display and sell at
AnimeNEXT in the Artist Alley must purchase a three-day membership to
AnimeNEXT.
2. Check-in: The person who purchased a table in the Artist Alley,
i.e. you filled out the form in your name, must check-in at the Artist
Alley staff table no later than the end of Artist Alley hours on
Friday. Any tables that have not been checked in by the end of Alley
Hours on Friday, will be forfeit and become available on Saturday
morning for purchase.
3. Artist Alley Badges: All Artists and their table helpers must
receive and wear an Artist Alley badge. There is no limit to how many
Artist Alley badges you can have, however we ask that you please make
your best effort to notify us of your badge needs before the
convention. An Artist Alley badge allows entrance to the Artist Alley
during set up and closing times. Anyone found sitting at an Artist
Alley table with out an Artist Alley badge will be asked to leave--
squatters will not be tolerated.
4. Table Limits and Double Booking: Only ONE person per Studio/Group
may submit a Letter of Intent to register for the Artist Alley. Anyone
caught trying to get around the table limits by having friends or
family also book tables will be given a warning, and then put on a
watch list. A second attempt will earn a ban from the Artist Alley.
5. Age Requirement: In order to purchase a table in the 2010 AnimeNEXT
Artist Alley you must be 18 years of age by the check-in date,
Thursday, June 17th, 2010.
6. Copyrights and Fanart: Fanart is allowed so long as it follows the
guidelines below:
*Fanart must not be a copy, either by hand or computer, of official
artwork.
*Fanart must be an original design, drawn in your own style with your
own poses.
7. Adult Material: Adult Material is allowed, so long as it is clearly
marked, covered and supervised at all times. You are not allowed to
sell adult material to minors, and you are responsible for checking
that your customers are indeed legally able to purchase said material.
Adult Material is defined as anything sexually explicit and nudity.
8. Merchandise: This is a list of what is allowed and what isn't
allowed. Do not panic if you don't see something on either list. If
it's not on either list, just email Artist Alley Staff and we'll
figure it out. You can sell just about anything you want at your
table. The catch is that anything you sell must be your own work and
your own designs.
Allowed:
CD's, Books, T-Shirts and other clothing, Bags, Bookmarks, Prints,
Cards, Games, Plushies, Etched glass, Chain mail, Pins/buttons,
Posters, Face painting
Not Allowed:
Food, Store bought merchandise, Metal or wooden weapons (cosplay props
or boffas are ok) Flamable items (such as chemicals), Convection
ovens, Airbrushes
9. Display Materials: All displays must be sturdy and only occupy your
own table space. Any displays that fall over, or are deemed to be
unsafe by Convention Staff or Hotel Staff, must be removed.
Repercussions:
1. 1st offense--Warning: You will be given conditions with which you
must comply. This may be, but is not limited to removing all offending
material from sight and never displaying it again.
2. 2nd offense--Eviction from Artist Alley: If you have already been
given a warning and you have not complied (or you have violated
another rule) you may be evicted from the Artists Alley and banned
from the AnimeNEXT Artists Alley in the future.
3. Get someone to sell your work for you--Ban from Future Artist
Alleys: If you are found trying to get an other artist (whether
knowing or unknowing) to help you sell the material you can no longer
even set up, having already been evicted from your own table, you and
your art will henceforth be banned from future Artist Alley.
At any time, Artists Alley Staff reserves the right to enact any of
the above rules without warning. This means you may be asked to leave
at our discretion. We do not expect to be doing this, but if you do
something that is NOT covered in our rules, we need to be able to take
steps.
