Registration will open on
tczinefest.org at Sunday May 21 (11 am Central) and close Sunday June 11 (midnight Central).
This year 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, person of color, 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.
Full tables (distros): There will be a very limited number of full-sized tables for distros. The price for a full table is $40.
Half tables: The remainder of the tables will be half tables (approximately 3 feet long). All half-table exhibitors can choose their own price: $30 full price or $20 reduced price. There is no difference in the benefits of full vs. reduced price, and it will have no impact on whether you are selected or not for a space. Paying at the full price level will help TCZF remain sustainable. If you are granted a spot but are unable to pay the reduced price, please let us know—no one will be turned away for lack of ability to pay. Sharing half tables is fine, but needs to be indicated at the time of registration. There will only be space for two people behind each half table.
Those who are not initially selected will be added to a wait list. Everyone who completes the registration form will receive an email by Saturday July 1st letting you know whether you have a spot or if you’ve been placed on the wait list. Payment from those who have a spot must be received by Wednesday July 20th; otherwise, the spot will be given to the next person on the wait list.
Payment method: Payment will be via Paypal or personal check/money order.
