Welcome to the vendors reservation page for Animefest 2019!

Animefest is the biggest event in the Czech Republic related to anime, japanese culture and pop-culture, with increasing number of visitors each year.

Vendor stalls are always a welcome and popular part of Animefest, therefore we are very glad that you are considering your participation at the 16th year, which will be held 24-26 May 2019 in Brno.

Indoor stalls will be placed in the A1 hall as before (route between main program areas) Different from the last year, the hall will be closed for night (from 10pm to 8am) and guarded.
As part of improvement the quality of the festival we started cooperation with the group Fake Is Sad, which is focused fake goods checking. In previous years we have found fake goods here outside knowledge of vendors themselves. Therefore people from Fake Is Sad will be available to advise both for us, organizers, and you, vendors, as well during the festival. Don´t hesitate to ask them in case of doubt about the origin of any goods. We will try to solve any issues by agreement.

Artist Alley

Artist Alley is a place dedicated to the promotion of visual artists. The participants of Artist Alley have the opportunity to draw directly at our convention, meet their fans and to gain valuable experience in the process. Every attendant will receive a fully equipped booth where he can sell merchandise with his own art, usual products range from prints to buttons and much more.

Each participant receives a 1,2 × 0,6 m desk and an extension cord.
Artist Alley will be located in the exhibition hall A1 on the balcony.
Fan Art is allowed.
„Tracing“ is strictly against the philosophy of Artist Alley and may be the basis for expelling a creator from their booth.

Since the capacity of Artist Alley is limited, we may only pick several people based on the quality of their work. The fee for one booth is CZK 700 (EUR 27). Buying an Artist Alley booth includes free entry for the convention.
