Each space comes with one table (6 ft x 2.5 ft), two chairs, and two Sonic EXPO badges.

Artist Alley tables cost $175 USD

Exhibitor/Vendor Booths cost $350 USD for a 10’x10′ space with optional add-ons for an additional charge.

Artists can choose to table alone, with one helper, or to split the table space with one other artist of their choosing when filling out the form. If deciding to split with another artist, one person must be chosen as the “primary artist,” which is where all contact and payment invoices will be forwarded to.

You should have art and merchandise examples that are Sonic and/or SEGA themed. Merch of other IPs is acceptable and can be sold at the expo, as long as there is a variety of Sonic/SEGA themed art within your shop or portfolio link. 

– No bootleg, traced, AI generated, or stolen material; this includes using someone else’s fanart as well as official media.
– Crafts upcycled from official merchandise such as fabric, toys, comics, etc. are allowed.
– This is an all-ages event, so no explicit/NSFW material will be allowed.

Due to the limited space of the venue and the number of applicants we’ve received, it is anticipated that not everyone who applied will receive a table.

Applications will be juried and selected by members of the Sonic Expo staff based on what is showcased in your portfolio or shop link.

In the event we have a larger than expected amounts of sign ups, a partial lottery may be implemented.

Payment will be processed through PayPal invoices if your submission is accepted.

Once accepted, payment links will go out on Friday, June 14th with acceptance emails, and are due Sunday, June 30th. Failure to pay by this date means a forfeit of tyour table at the event and the table will be given to someone on the waitlist.

In the event you are accepted but are no longer able to attend Sonic EXPO, please let the staff know as soon as possible. Refunds can be issued until September 21st. We unfortunately will not offer refunds after this date.

When accepted, you are expected to have a valid Texas tax ID (EIN) to sell in the artists’ alley. You do not need one at the time of application or acceptance, but please be sure to have it ready in time for Sonic Expo!

If you still need one, creating one is easy and can be done so here!
