Anime Detour's Exhibit Hall 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, no unlicensed products, etc. Then to ensure fairness, all 35 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 mid November 2024.
