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

General Guidelines
300 dpi or higher; high-quality TIFF or PSD formatBadge 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 2008) 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)
