Additional Rules for Artists & Exhibitors

I. Enamel pins, keychains stickers, prints, patches, and other small accessories and crafted items (and all things that we deem "Artist Alley" items) may not be sold at Kaiga Convention unless the artwork is:

We will deny products with stolen artwork, and that appear to be purchased with no regulations and artist credit (for example from aliexpress) as an attempt to remove competition with our genuine Artist Alley Sellers. Exhibitors will be monitored the most to ensure these guidelines are met, or they will not be welcome at our future events.

Artwork with commercial rights must be approved 2 months before the event, so we can background check.

2. No NSFW Art is allowed to be displayed, we are a family friendly event, you are allowed to do 'under the table' sales and sell these products after you check the ID of the customer. Be sure to ask anyone who looks under the age of 25 just to be safe! But 18+ is the requirement.

3. STRICTLY NO AI ART OR AI GENERATED ELEMENTS

4. Kaiga Convention, our team, hired security and volunteers are not responsible for your products or booth when you leave it unattended, it is not our duty to prevent theft, and it is not our job to stand in when you need breaks. Please do not ask volunteers to go behind your table at any time for assistance.

5. Advertising for other events and markets needs to be approved before the event, please contact the Kaicon team for more information info@kaigaconvention.com

A note from our Creative Director:

At Kaiga Convention we are motivated and dedicated in ensuring Artist Alley Sellers have the best possible oppurtunities to sell their Art and discourage any vendor items that conflict with that interest. Artists are our priority at KaiCon!
