AnniCon 2022 Vending Contract
AnniCon Rules and Regulations
AnniCon staff welcomes all artists and vendors who wish to participate in the artist/vendor’s booths at AnniCon ‘22! The convention will be held at Zinn Park (101 W 14th St, Anniston, AL 36201) on April 2, 2022. We ask that all artists/vendors please be respectful of decisions that the staff may have to make concerning the artist/vendor’s booths the day of the convention. We are constantly working to make the Con experience great for everyone and may have to make changes in the initial plans. There will be dedicated staffers available exclusively to participating artists/vendors. They will be identified to the artists/vendors at the convention, so if there should be any questions/problems, please contact these staffers. We will try our best to prevent problems from occurring, but we cannot plan for every contingency. Should a problem arise with another artist/vendor, please speak to a staffer. AnniCon reserves the right to deny an artist/vendor space to anyone should a problem occur.
Venue Policies
It is the responsibility of all artists/vendors to comply with local, city, county, and state laws. All food vendors MUST have a copy of their City of Anniston Business license and Health Department Permit. We ask that you only use masking tape or pins in fabric panels (if available) for temporary room decorations. Please do not use staples, nails, tacks or other forms of tape. Do not place stickers or paints, or deface venue materials in any permanent fashion. Signs, banners and flyers may not be posted outside of your table space. We do not allow the open sales of any type of adult-themed material (not limited to DVDs, VHSs, pornographic images/artwork). No adult material may be viewed, sold or distributed, and we require that vendors not bring adult-themed material at all. AnniCon reserves the right to judge the acceptability of all displays. In addition, questionable material (such as paraphernalia and images from groups such as KKK and Nazi or Nazi-like merchandise) are prohibited.
AnniCon ‘22 will have an open registration period of two weeks from March 10, 2022 to March 24, 2022.
