Applying for booth

Please carefully read the rules and regulations and fill out the booth application form.
Your name will appear in the Applicant List within 3 days after submitting the form.
Check the Entitled Booth List on 21 August 2026, to see if you have been granted a booth.
Once your name appears, you may proceed with payment immediately according to the payment instructions.
Submit the Payment Notification Form after completing your payment by 30 August 2026. For your benefit, please keep proof of payment at least until the event day.
Once a checkmark appears in the “Paid” column next to your booth name, your booth is officially confirmed, and you can prepare your setup and products for the event.
The booth name submitted in your application can not be changed later or altered under any circumstances.
Details regarding venue entry and exit for booth setup and dismantling, as well as other regulations, will be provided in the Exhibitor’s Manual, which will be sent to confirmed booth holders via email.

Important Notes for Booth Application

Please make sure to fill out your application form completely, especially the sample works or fanpage section as these are important for the staff when reviewing your application.

Provide a valid and active link to your fanpage, X, or website.
Submit the direct link to your fanpage instead of only typing its name. This is because there may be other fanpages with the same name, making it difficult for the staff to locate your page and review your past works.
Do not creating a brand-new fanpage solely for the purpose of applying (the staff cannot properly review if there are no works posted on the page). If you do not have a fanpage or have never published your works online before, we recommend uploading your works to a drive or cloud service and sending the link for review.
Do not provide a personal Facebook account that is not specifically dedicated to publishing your works.

Regulations for Booth Application

Each applicant may apply only once per name. If the staff discovers that a group with multiple members spreads out applications across several booths (while belonging to the same group) in order to increase their chances in the lottery, all entries will be disqualified. In cases where multiple forms were submitted unintentionally (e.g., due to internet issues), duplicate applications will be deleted before the lottery, and only the most recent submission will be considered.
Each applicant may apply for only one zone and one booth type. If an applicant intentionally applies using different emails or booth names to increase the number of entries, this may result in disqualification from future applications.
If an applicant is granted a booth but gives up the right without a valid reason, or gives it up in order to merge with another artist’s booth, this will be considered as an attempt to spread out applications, and it will negatively affect consideration in future applications.
Please apply for a number of booths appropriate to your group size and the volume of your products. The number of members allowed behind the booth must not exceed the quota of exhibitor passes allotted to each booth.
Applicants must apply for the correct booth type according to their eligibility.
Tax invoices will be issued only under the applicant’s name. If an applicant applies for an Artist booth but requests a tax invoice under a corporate entity’s name, it will be regarded as intentionally applying for the wrong booth type, and the application will be disqualified.
Hiring or lending one’s name for booth application, as well as selling booth rights to others, is considered a serious violation of event regulations. Both the violator and the instigator will be permanently banned from the event.
Applicants should be cautious if approached by unknown individuals offering compensation to apply for a booth on their behalf, purchase booths, sell products at your booth, or request to buy exhibitor passes. If such violations are discovered, the booth owner will be held responsible for damages and may face permanent disqualification from the event.
