Everyone! As long as you are a visual arts practitioner with a passion for storytelling, Chromacon welcomes you to apply!

Do note however, the current focus of Chromacon is to showcase storytelling across visual, moving image and interactive mediums, we don’t have any restrictions towards styles/genres, however – this is a festival to celebrate innovation across visual arts, and not a fine arts exhibition, market or pop culture convention.

For more detailed information please see refer to our Application Guide.

Unfortunately this is simply a limitation of venue space.

Chromacon aims to provide artists with the best possible exhibition space at the lowest cost.  This means currently booths are very limited, we encourage all applicants to submit their best works with their application.

Please refer to our Application Guide.

Everyone’s welcome! However, parents of applicants under the age of 16 must give their consent upon registration and also accompany the exhibitor on the day of the event.

We have a strong stance against censorship of artworks at Chromacon, however, if you do plan on exhibiting artworks featuring mature themes, please let us know upon registration or at any time prior to the event..

If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact us.

That is perfectly fine! However do note, to “share a table” as a collective, the work exhibited must be collaborative in nature.

It also helps to promote collaboration and may lead to some exciting work!

Please refer to our Pricing and Booth Options page .

Unfortunately no, Chromacon operates on a not-for-profit basis, as such exhibitors would have to cover travel and accommodation costs themselves.

We do offer travel and accommodation allowance to support international guest artists , however this is solely at the discretion of the Chromacon committee. Feel free to contact us if you are interested.

Full exhibition booths are 3m x 2.5m in size.  For further information such as hiring display panels please refer to Pricing and Booth Options.

Yes, however this will be set up by an third-party supplier and will cost $65 per booth.  Please refer to Pricing and Booth Options.

Generally speaking, unfortunately not.  This is due to the nature of booths being close in proximity to each other.

However, we can make exceptions to this rule if sound is integral to any self-produced animation/videogame etc you plan on exhibiting.  Do note however, you must inform us if you require this exception upon registration.  We reserve the rights to ask artists to lower the volume during the event if it is disrupting the event/ neighbouring booths.

We provide all full booths with 2 chairs per table, more chairs can be hired at $10 each.

Exhibitors may set up their booths at 7.00AM (2 hours prior) on 12th May 2013 and be packed up by 7.00PM (2 hours post event).
