NEW for Comic-Con & WonderCon Anaheim 2019
 
Due to the ever-increasing popularity of both Comic-Con and the industries that serve the popular arts, we have updated the requirements and categories for professional badge registration. Beginning after Comic-Con 2018, the categories of “creative professional” and “trade professional” will be dissolved, and all members who meet the qualifications and are approved are simply considered “professionals.” All professional badges are granted the same level of access during the event. Please see below for new information regarding the qualifications for professionals.

What if I missed the August 16, 2018 professional application deadline for Comic-Con 2019? What can I do?

Because of the high volume of applicants, applications and materials submitted after the deadline will not be accepted for Comic-Con 2019 under any circumstances. If your application is received after August 16, 2018, it will be reviewed for WonderCon Anaheim 2019 and Comic-Con 2020.

There's no indication if the number of Pro badges to be issued will increase in quantity. But bringing the two categories of Pro together will most likely mean that entertainment pros outside of direct comics involvement will see a reduction in the number of acceptances.

COMIC-CON AND WONDERCON ANAHEIM are pleased to provide complimentary badges to professionals who are active in the creation of comic books, graphic novels, digital/webcomics, comic strips and animation, as well as genre-related illustrators and science fiction/fantasy authors and book editors. This includes roles such as: writer, artist, penciller, inker, colorist, letterer, and animator. Qualifying work must be provided to indicate a professional’s involvement in these projects.
 
We cannot guarantee professional badges to those who fall outside of the categories listed above. However, all other professionals and executives who are employed in entertainment & popular culture fields (film, television, toy & apparel design, and other related industries) are welcome to apply during our next application period, and we will consider each application on an individual basis.

Have always gotten a Pro badge via my videogame credentials. Curious to see if those meet the requirements for next year.

I feel like this may effect me. I have my publishing company so i register as a publisher, but i am also an author and i have another author, whose work i'm publishing, who does graphic novels & writes books in sci-fi/fantasy/crime/horror. I use SDCC to network! ugh... this....ugh... this could effect me! :(

Congrats, EscoBlades! When did you submit your materials?

I'm hoping to receive similar good news. Applied as Pro for first time as an Educator.

Thanks. I submitted my materials on the 9th of July. Received confirmation of Pro status on the 17th of September. I saw some folks on Twitter had got their's the week before, so I was definitely not in the first wave, if that helps.

Guys, just clarifying - you received your confirmation that you are approved, not the actual ability to register, correct ?  I was approved last year for the first time and says I do not need to verify - so now I simply wait for the actual reg invitation, correct ?

So does any know if they're still sending out pro-registration renewal confirmations for verifications emails?

I had to renew this year, I was late in sending in my information but i made the deadline... i'm on pins & needles. If i don't get approved, then i dunno.. i guess that free me up to attend my brother's wedding... <_< but just want to know what's going on.. am i approved.. or not..

and yes.. i am weighing missing my brother's wedding for comic-con... i'm literally negotiating, "well.. the wedding's sunday... so.. if i come back on saturday, i should be good...right?"

O:)
