Dear Sha,
I was wondering about
art tables at the Sunderland comic con, how much would it cost for a small
press table for the weekend?
Thanks
Alex
To whom it my concern,
I was wondering if you had any artist tables this year at
convention GEEK, and if so will this convention be run next year. I am also
rather interested in the contest you run every year and was wonder if you would
be running any other contests this year?
Thanks
Alex

Hello everyone!
As the dates for this year's Thought
Bubble<http://
to let you all know what's going on with this
year's festival, our plans for the convention venue, and how exhibitor
registration will be working this year.
Table Pricing
As well as expanding the convention to serve the increased demand, it's
also of paramount importance to us that all of our exhibitors are as
comfortable as possible, so the marquee needs to be very sturdy, safe and
warm. Because of this, we are having to slightly increase the cost of
tables this year, to help to pay for this new space.The costs for tables in
all halls this year will be £90 for a full table for indie
creators/professional artists & writers or £55 for a half table, and £135
per table for retailers and publishers.
Thought Bubble was founded as, and always will be, a not-for-profit
organisation, and as such we've always strived to keep our table prices as
low as possible, but there's no way we could create this extra space if the
prices were the same as last year. We understand some smaller publishers
and independent artists might find the extra cost prohibitive, so to keep
the festival as accessible as possible we are offering more half-tables
this year, and, as with previous years, we are more than happy for
exhibitors to share table space.
Festival Curation
We have always prided ourselves on being as inclusive as possible, and it's
very important to us that we stay that way. With the addition of the new
space we hope we can include everyone one who wants to come to the show.
However. there is a possibility that we will receive more exhibitor
applications than we have space in the halls. As much as we'd like to be
able to include everyone who may wish to exhibit at the show, we feel that
Thought Bubble has reached the stage where we are going to have to curate
our show for the foreseeable future. This will involve a simple online
registration form which will be going live on the website on Monday 31st
March, and remain open for two weeks until 5pm on Monday 14th April. After
this time, we won't be able to accept any more applications, and we'll
contact those who applied shortly after to confirm whether we'll be able to
accommodate them this year, and take payment for the table.
Every year, we also have a number of people who book tables and are then
unable to attend, and so we'll form a reserves list of unsuccessful
applicants who will be offered tables should they become available. Once
the registration form goes live, we'll be asking for your help to spread
the word, so that no one misses out on applying to attend. If we are unable
to fit everyone who applies to exhibit at the show in the space available,
then the decision on who we can accept to the convention will be made by
the organisational
team<http://
whole, to ensure the process remains as fair as possible.
Because of this move to curation, and the nature of the festival as a forum
to promote comics and those who make them, it means that where possible we
need to give priority to comic books, comic book publishers and retailers,
and comic book artists and writers, either independent or
publisher-affiliated. If you have exhibited with us in the past and do not
fit into this category, please still do fill in the online form once it
goes live, as we would love you to come if we do have room.

Here are just a few samples of people I have contacted about conventions and fairs.
