What Type of Exhibitor Am I?
To ensure a seamless experience, it's important to understand the distinction between different types of exhibitors. Please read the following descriptions carefully before selecting the appropriate category for your application:

Vendor:
Vendors are individuals or businesses that primarily sell commercial merchandise related to anime, manga, and pop culture. This may include:

- Officially licensed merchandise.
- Collectibles and figurines.
- Apparel and accessories featuring popular anime characters.
- Manga, light novels, and other printed materials.
- Gaming merchandise (officially licensed video games, board games, etc.).

If your primary focus is on selling commercially produced merchandise and licensed products, you should select the "Vendor" category.

Artist:
Artists are individuals who create and sell original handcrafted fan-created artwork. This may include:

- Hand-drawn or digital artwork created by the seller.
- Self-published comics or zines.
- Handmade crafts and accessories inspired by anime and manga that were created by the seller.
- Custom illustrations or commissions created by the seller.

If you are an independent artist creating unique and original works, you should select the "Artist" category.

Non-Profit:
Exhibitors in this category are representatives from non-profits and civic organizations that wish to promote their services, engage with attendees, and contribute to the convention atmosphere. This may include:

- Non-profits: Sharing information about a cause or mission.
- Civic Organizations: Engaging with the community and providing valuable resources.

If you are a charitable or government organization that would like to engage with attendees without directly selling merchandise, you should select the "Non-Profit" category.

Important Note for Vendors and Artists:
If you are unsure which category best suits your offerings, consider the primary nature of your products. If the majority of your items are commercially produced and licensed, choose "Vendor." If the majority of your items are original, handmade, or fan-created, choose "Artist."
