Hello fans of Jaycon!

I’m your Art Director and I would like to present prospective Artists and Dealers with an opportunity! Although I take on a fair share of Jaycon related art projects in my position, I like to utilize the talents of different artists to encourage stylistic diversity. This is where you come in!

I would like to start a contest to design badges for the convention. This would require you to design four separate badges: an attendee, staff, guest, and artist/vendor badge. The designs will be voted on and the winner will get free admission, a guaranteed artist or vendor table, and a free Jaycon t-shirt (and I have it from a reliable source that they will be pretty cool this year!). Pretty sweet deal right? If you are interested and want to learn more information, please visit the Badge Art Contest page. I will post all information that is needed for the contest there—including the deadline, rules, dimensions, badge examples from previous years, and the file for the Jaycon logo.

Thank you for your attention, and may the odds be ever in your favor <3
