2020 Comics Arts Conference - SDCC (CLOSED - Feb. 1 deadline has passed.) |
Comics Arts Conference - SDCC
CONTENT: The Comics Arts Conference welcomes submissions focused on aspects of sequential art: graphic storytelling in the form of comic strips, comic books, and graphic novels. We regret we are unable to accept submissions concentrating primarily on other media or popular culture in general.
EQUIPMENT: The CAC provides a projector with a DVD player and a computer connection. There will no longer be a laptop on site for your convenience with PowerPoint, Keynote, or QuickTime, so you will have to bring your own. We can thus probably accommodate DVDs, CDs, laptops, and flash drives. If your laptop is a Mac, please bring your own video adapter. The connection is usually HDMI-compatible these days.
REGISTRATION: If your paper is accepted, do not pay for Comic-Con registration. (If you have already paid, we may be able to get that payment refunded to you.) CAC presenters attend Comic-Con with professional passes, with no registration fee for Comic-Con or CAC.
GUEST: You may bring ONE guest who can also attend with free registration. After submissions are accepted, we will then ask for your guest information. A guest pass may not be sold or otherwise transferred to anyone other than the individual whose name appears on it.
HOTEL: San Diego hotel rooms have been filling faster and faster. You should probably reserve your room (preferably something you can cancel without penalty if necessary) as early as possible, long before we finalize our schedule and send panel acceptance/rejection notifications.
Please be aware that this SurveyMonkey system DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY GENERATE CONFIRMATION MESSAGES, but we have never known it to fail to store a submission.
