About the application

This is the application for the Pro Row section of the Anime Boston 2025 Artists' Alley. This is a juried process and will close on December 20, 202411:59 PM EST. Here are the following requirements for Pro Row: Each 8 foot space will cost $850. This does not include the cost of convention membership badges nor the online processing fees for the table.

All Pro Row artists who are applying as individuals cannot share their space with anyone. They also cannot sell any other artist's work.
All Pro Row artists who are applying as studios must have been established for at least three years. They must also have projects that the entire studio has worked on together, and not just individual projects. All studio applicants will be investigated to confirm their legitimacy. Information will be gathered from previous Anime Boston Artists' Alley, as well as the Artists' Alleys of other conventions.
The Pro Row is not for a group of individuals who want to pool money to afford an 8 foot space.
75% of the artist's work sold at Anime Boston must be original art and not fan art. The focus is on an artist's own creations, and not the intellectual property of someone else. If your website only shows fanart, you will be disqualified. AI art is banned from our Artists' Alley.

Picture requirements

In addition, Tumblr links will not be permitted. Any entries with invalid or broken links will be disqualified. We will not follow up with artists to get correct links or look for the pages on our own. If you do not have your own website, we suggest using the portfolio feature of [DeviantArt](http://www.deviantart.com/) or a comparable service. This allows you to make a special folder to organize your artwork that you wish to be reviewed for your submission. This is especially important if your artwork contains fan art, as any art submitted for the Jury process should comply with the Pro Row's requirements regarding fan art, explained on our website: https://www.animeboston.com/artists_alley/pro_row
