Last year, Zenkaikon implemented a Photographer Badge to help prevent safety issues and provide more opportunities for photographers within the convention space.
This year, we are continuing the program; however, there are some changes.
Last year, only those wishing to charge or accept tips for their services were required to register. This year, we are extending that to include the above and anyone who wishes to use photography equipment, such as tripods, standing lights, etc.
However, we are no longer charging for a specific badge, we are merely just requiring you to register using this form. You must also have a membership to enter Zenkaikon, this does not grant entry into the convention.
Any issues or complaints against any photographer may be reported directly to our Marketing Division here: https://forms.gle/aG9u39A12F2hVcGr5
We will review registrations and notify accepted parties prior to Zenkaikon 2025. Due to the change in the nature of the Photographer Registration, most registrants will be accepted; denials will only be given if you have previous conduct issues or otherwise violate our policies.
For questions regarding your application, please get in touch with jasmine.caban@zenkaikon.org
All attendees, including Photographers, must follow all of Zenkaikon's Policies. These policies can be found here: https://zenkaikon.com/about-zenkaikon/policies/
