Another change: NO tabling/exhibiting fees at all- I don't want this to be a barrier to entry for anyone. Instead, there will be a percentage taken from final sales; if you make something, we make something. Full details at link shortboxcomicsfair.com/apply

I consistently get many emails asking how/when people can apply to the fair, and couldn't think of a reason not to have submissions open for longer (hoping it makes it a tad more accessible), so here we go: apply to our 2025 digital comics fair!✨ www.shortboxcomicsfair.com/apply
