FediZineFest 2024 Guidelines
+Participants
+ +-
+
- + artist: someone who contributes one or more zines to the Fest + +
- backer: someone who contributes money to the Fest +
All participants (both artists and backers) will receive:
+ +-
+
- + a package in the mail containing one copy of each physical zine + submitted + +
- + a link to a Dropbox or Google Drive (or similar) folder containing + all digital zines submitted + +
Participant caps
++ 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). +
+ +For artists
+Zine submissions
+ ++ Zines do not have to be newly created for this event. 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. +
++ While you may submit more than one zine, I ask that you limit + physical zine submissions to one zine. This is to ensure + that shipping doesn’t become too unreasonable (for you OR me). +
+For the submission of a physical zine, you agree that:
+ +-
+
- Your zine will be no larger than: +
- + For folks in the US: 8.5”x5.5” (a standard sheet of 8.5”x11” + paper, folded once) + +
- + For folks internationally: 21.0cm x 14.9cm (a standard sheet of A4 + paper, folded once) + +
- + You will print copies equal to or greater than the number of + recipients + +
- + The number of recipients will be confirmed by + Jan 26th, 2024 + +
- + You will get these copies into the mail by Mar 29th, 2024 + +
-
+
-
+
For the submission of a digital zine, you agree that:
+-
+
- + 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! + +
- + You will provide your zine file(s) by Mar 29th, 2024 via + Google Drive or Dropbox or similar + +
Payment
++ 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. +
++ All transactions will use PayPal unless otherwise organized - reach + out to me if PayPal is inaccessible to you. + 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. +
+ +For backers
+Payment
+As a backer, you agree that you will pay:
+ +-
+
- A base payment of $50 - this will be split among all artists +
- A shipping fee based on your location +
