Tabler registration for TCZF 2019 is now closed; the application form closed Sunday June 9 (midnight Central).

Everyone who completed 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.

Questions? Email us!

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.

We’re thrilled to reveal this year’s TCZF poster art, created by brilliant Minneapolis artist Leda Zawacki!! You can find more information about Leda at her website cupofstars.com.

Twin Cities Zine Fest 2019 will be held Saturday September 21st, and we’re returning to the Hennepin County Library – Minneapolis Central (300 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis MN)! Registration will open soon; stay tuned for all the details.

We’re looking for new organizers to help make Twin Cities Zine Fest 2019 happen! There are different roles available, depending on your level of interest and time. Please join us Sunday April 14th at 2:30 pm, we’ll be meeting at the Minneapolis Central Library (300 Nicollet Mall) in the RKMC room on the second floor by the escalators. Please get in touch if you have any questions!
