About Artist Alley Registration

To clarify a few things:

1. The registration period will not be indefinite.
2. Registration will remain open till we get about 600 registrations or we reach Midnight on 3/16/2011. If we have not reached a minimum of 600 registrations by midnight Artist Alley registration will remain open until we reach a minimum of 600 registrations.
3. Duplicate registrations will be thrown out. If we detect an excess amount of duplicate registrations we may chose to throw out all of your registrations. If after removing duplicate registrations we fall below 500 registrations we will re-open registration. An additional announcement will be made on the date and time if this becomes necessary.

Welcome to the Otakon 2011 Artist Alley information page!

Big news everyone! Artist Alley registration will go live on Wednesday March 16th @ about 8:00pm EST! Some important things to note for this year are:

Unlike previous years the order of which you register in will have no bearing on the order that your table is confirmed in. This year applications will be selected from the pool randomly. That means that the last person to register will have the same chances as the first person who registers.

Also we will be sending out table confirmations in waves (Usually about 100~150 at a time) until all tables are filled. If you do not get a table you will be put on the wait list. Just like initial table selection the wait list will also be randomly chosen.

We’ve also updated the rules for 2011 so please head over to the Artist Alley Rules and brush up on the rules for this year!

Additionally we’ve also updated the F.A.Q.’s for the alley as well. Please check them out before contacting the alley staff as your question may be answered there already!
