Important Notice on Size Limitations for Bags & Coats & Items!!!
There is no Bag/Coat Check for the Dealer Room and there are new limits to
the size of items allowed into the Dealer Room with attendees such as bags, boxes, coats,
cosplay props, etc.
The following items will not be allowed into the Dealer Room:
-Coats (especially long, suspicious-looking trench coats)
-Excessively large cosplay items (big swords, huge wings, etc)
-Carried items that exceed the size of Measured Boxes (11" x 8.5" x 10")
-Anything else deemed obtrusive by Dealers Staff
Each Badge Station has a Measured Box which serves as a basis for whether or
not an
attendee's carried item will be allowed into the Dealer Room with them.
Attendees with obstructive item(s) will not be allowed into the Dealer Room. Please leave your
obstructive item(s) somewhere safe. Your hotel room, your car, your friend's hotel room, your
friend's car, your mom, your dad, your sister, your brother, your friend with an artist alley
booth,
etc. are just a few places used by Anime Detour attendees. Anime Detour is not responsible
for any item(s) lost, stolen, damaged, incinerated, mechanized, gooped on, etc.
The Anime Detour Dealer Room application process is scheduled to be open September 1-30
however the order in which you apply is irrelevant, so there is no need to bombard the
application the same day it opens. What matters is that you apply within the time-frame
given. We will be using a more efficient application process than previous years.
Please note that the Dealer Application Form is NOT a guarantee you will be admitted as a Dealer
to Anime Detour. This form literally acts as an application - you pass in this form and we
evaluate it along with all of the other applications we receive. You will either be accepted or
put on our waiting list. If accepted you will receive a contract with a deadline for payment. If
the signed contract and the payment are not received by the deadline specified, your spot will
go to the next dealer on the waiting list.
We are looking for courteous, flexible, cooperative, patient dealers selling quality merchandise
who can provide a fun and happy atmosphere to the shopping experience of our convention
attendees. All applicants that feel they can meet this criteria are welcome to apply.
-Strong, well-known, well-established brand identity and brand following is a very important
factor for Dealer Room applicants that sell their own lines of merchandise.
-Due to extremely limited space if applicants are offering hand-made goods, it is recommended
they also apply to the Artist Alley.
-If you are an organization whose primary function is promoting a
convention/event/business/anything besides selling merchandise, please contact the
Room Parties department.
-If you feel you meet the criteria listed above please fill out our Form Staus Page and click on the Dealers Form.
