MILLENNICON 26 March 16-18, 2012 ART SHOW GUIDELINES Theme: We would like to display artwork with
a science fiction, fantasy, fannish or science related theme or subject. 2D,
3D, Digital, Textiles etc. are all welcome. Fees: The hanging fee is 25 cents per piece.
The art show will take a 10% commission on all sales. This fee structure has
allowed the art show to break even in the past and helps cover the cost of
forms, correspondence and hanging panels. Awards: We will be giving awards for the “Best
of Show” as judged by the show attendees, as well as awards for the best
print/reproduction, 3D and original in SF, Fantasy, Humor and Horror. Mail-in: We will be accepting mail-in art.
Indicate that you will be shipping your artwork when you contact us. We are
known for our rapid return of un-sold art and for quick payment of artists,
usually within a week after the convention. Auction: We have one auction on Saturday night.
Three bids are required for a piece to go to auction. Pieces with no more than
two bids when the art show closes Saturday will be sold to the highest bidder
on the bid sheet. Pieces not sold by close of show on Saturday will be
available for sale at Quick Ratings: We reserve the right to remove, or not
include, any art that we feel may violate local standards. Artists whose art is
not shown for this reason will not be charged a hanging fee for the piece in
question. If you have concerns regarding a piece of art you’d like to send,
please check with us to clarify. (Important note! We are in General

you are mailing in art or bringing it in person, please reserve your space
