P1CCF features your original work.
The festival is a space for your original work in comics and sequential art. If you own it, you can sell it. We don’t allow displaying or selling fan art of licensed properties unless you have worked on the property or have a private commission. You can sell comics, zines, prints, buttons, mugs, shirts and more!
Make your table your own.
Tables are 30 x 72 inches (6 feet long) and are yours to have fun with. Bring a fun tablecloth, displays and materials. Displays cannot exceed a height of 2 feet above the table surface (including standing banners or displays) to make sure the limited space does not feel congested and to provide all creators with equal opportunity to show and sell their work.
Tables are for Panel One members.
Only Panel One Members can table at the festival.
Not a member? No problem – you can register as a member and still submit your table registration on the same day! Membership is free and open to all Canadian/Canada-residing comic creators. Become a member today >>
