What kind of vendors are we looking for?

The Castle Point Anime Convention, or CPあC, includes a wide variety of vendors, including artists, merchandise tables, and food stalls.

Applications are typically opened in the middle of October and close in the middle of December. Decisions are usually to be finalized by the end of January.

Forms will be posted on our website and on all social media platforms.

What does it take to be a vendor?

CPあC is a family-friendly convention, and we cannot consider any vendor who intends to sell 18+ merchandise.

Please also take note that any and all food sales are subject to a revenue tax from the Meadowlands Expo Center (MEC).

We also bar the sale of any items that violate our Props and Weapons Policy.

Our most popular items include posters, keychains, plushies, clothes, and any other merch themed around Japanese or gaming culture.
