The deadline for art submissions is: August 31st

Please know that artwork submitted to FurFright may be used for the following purpose(s):

• attendee badges
• advertising and promotional material for the convention, including t-shirts, flyers, decals, programs, and webpages

Any artwork used for such purposes is published to support and publicize the convention, its charities, and the artist, not for the financial benefit of any other individual (including the convention staff and directors) or any for-profit company. FurFright does not claim exclusive rights over the artwork (the artist may republish their artwork at any time). Artwork may be reused to promote subsequent FurFright conventions.

Submitting artwork is not a guarantee of publication. We receive many submissions and just don't have enough material to use them all. However, we do try to use as much of the art as possible. For example, at past conventions we printed eight or nine different badges featuring the artwork of several artists. Artwork with a furry AND Halloween (or Samhain)/horror/macabre theme (ranging from cute or scary) will have preference over furry artwork of any other theme.

Black and White

Black and White artwork will be used for t-shirts (black t-shirts with white silk screening) and the conbook.

Full Color

Full Color artwork will be used for badges, sponsorship prints, and conbooks. You may submit different versions of your artwork (i.e. a line art version and a full-color version) which will increase the chance of your artwork being used.

Artwork needs to be submitted by the original artist or their agent.

Artwork may be full-color or black and white.

Please put your own copyright somewhere within the piece of artwork, close to one of the figures depicted. Copyrights along the edge of a piece of artwork may be cut off if we need to trim the edges.

Artwork may not contain sexual situations, visible genitalia, or nipples. Blood, bone, and body parts are generally okay. However, if you have any questions about subject matter please email the staff!

General Guidelines

300 dpi or higher; high-quality TIFF or PSD format

Badge Guidelines

Same as above, but scaled to 2"H x 4"W for use on our badge (400x800, 500x1000, 600x1200 pixels) in landscape (horizontal) orientation. If you do not incorporate the FurFright text ("FurFright <year>") into your artwork, please leave a space in your composition for us to add it ourselves.

Here are some examples of possible badge artwork layouts:

#1 is a figure which will be positioned to one side of the badge (This is the ONLY badge artwork which does not need to be submitted in the 2" x 4" scale)

#2 is the same, but with a bit of background and a large open space for us to put the FurFright logo (2"H x 4"W format)

#3 is a full scene with a major character to one side so the background area can be overlaid with the FurFright logo. Please limit the width of your major character to 2 inches wide so we have enough room to put in the logo. (2"H x 4"W format)

Submit by e-mail to submit@furfright.org.
