Registration will open on tczinefest.org at Sunday May 19 (noon Central) and close Sunday June 9 (midnight Central).

We are very pleased to announce that thanks to generosity of our venue (Hennepin County Library) registration for all tablers will be free! (We’ll have a donate option available if you’d like to help support TCZF!)

There will be a very limited number of full-size tables (6 feet) available for distros. We ask that you only request a full-size table if you have a large amount of material to sell. Most exhibitors will receive a space at a half table.

The TCZF organizers will be reviewing applications and selecting participants (as opposed to a first-come, first-served registration). Applicants will be selected on a variety of factors including type of zine and identification as LGBTQIA, race/ethnicity, age (encouraging participation by those 21 or under), and newness to zine-making (encouraging new zinesters to participate). This process will ensure that we have a diverse range of zines and zinesters exhibiting.

Those who are not initially selected will be added to a wait list. Everyone who completes the registration form will receive an email by Sunday June 30 letting you know whether you have a spot or if you’ve been placed on the wait list.
