<metaproperty="og:image:alt"content="a logo in dark purple and golden yellow. it looks sorta like a folded map, or like a single piece of printer paper that's been folded and cut into the format needed for an 8-page zine. the 8 panels read FEDI ZINE. next to this, a blue and green folded 8-page zine reads 'fest 2025'">

<ul>
<li>a package in the mail containing one copy of each physical zine submitted</li>
<li>a link to a Dropbox or Google Drive (or similar) folder containing all digital zines submitted</li>
</ul>
<h3id="participant-caps">Participant caps</h3>
<p>Total participants will be capped at 50. Artists will be capped at 30. Physical zine submissions will be capped at 20. This is for the sake of my and the artists’ sanity(s).</p>
<h2id="for-artists">For artists</h2>
<h3id="zine-submissions">Zine submissions</h3>
<p><strong>Zines do not have to be newly created for this event.</strong> You may absolutely share zines you have previously created. However, please do not share zines that are already freely available in the same format - we want the backers to get a good deal.</p>
<p>While you may submit more than one zine, I ask that you limit <strong>physical</strong> zine submissions to <strong>one zine</strong>. This is to ensure that shipping doesn’t become too unreasonable (for you OR me).</p>
<p>For the submission of a <strong>physical</strong> zine, you agree that:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your zine will be no larger than:
<ul>
<li>For folks in the US: 8.5"x5.5" (a standard sheet of 8.5"x11" paper, folded once)</li>
<li>For folks internationally: 21.0cm x 14.9cm (a standard sheet of A4 paper, folded once)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The number of recipients will be confirmed by <strong>Jan 26th, 2024</strong></li>
<li>You will get these copies into the mail by <strong>Mar 29th, 2024</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>For the submission of a <strong>digital</strong> zine, you agree that:</p>
<ul>
<li>You will provide a print-friendly file (this may be either your only file, or one of two - a digital-only and a print-friendly variant) - print-friendly here means printable on the average home printer, so please no requirements for legal paper or other unusual sizes!</li>
<li>You will provide your zine file(s) by <strong>Mar 29th, 2024</strong> via Google Drive or Dropbox or similar</li>
</ul>
<h3id="payment">Payment</h3>
<p>Please keep in mind that this is mostly an opportunity to share and receive zines. While you will receive payment, it won’t be in significant amounts.</p>
<p>All transactions will use PayPal unless otherwise organized - reach out to me if PayPal is inaccessible to you. <strong>If you cannot use PayPal, you must speak to me about it before signing up so as to ensure there is a way to pay you.</strong></p>
<h2id="for-backers">For backers</h2>
<h3id="payment-2">Payment</h3>
<p>As a backer, you agree that you will pay:</p>
<ul>
<li>A base payment of $50 - this will be split among all artists</li>
<li>A shipping fee based on your location
<ul>
<li>US: $15</li>
<li>International: $30</li>
</ul>
