You must pay for your booth in order for a space to be reserved and assigned. Payment request will be email in Nov/Dec 2023. These booths are intended for artists of original and branded products that relate to the culture of anime, art and Japanese/Korean/Chinese related. 
Anime Detour's Artist Alley acceptance process has changed. Since there are so many wonderful and amazing artists applications that our jury staff will always pick more artists than what we can actually fit. We will first choose applications that we see fit our criteria of anime, art, original, style, manga, manhwa, etc. Then to ensure fairness, all 65 artist will be chosen at random from our pre-approved artist list. You will automatically be placed on the waiting list if not accepted.
All applicants will receive an email regarding the status by early November 2023.
