The Comic-Con and WonderCon Anaheim 2018 professional application period is now OPEN! To apply as a professional for Comic-Con or WonderCon Anaheim 2018, please download the “Comic-Con and WonderCon Anaheim 2018 Information and Application for Professionals” PDF below. All applications and verification materials are due by August 16, 2017 for Comic-Con 2018. Applications submitted after this date will be considered for WonderCon Anaheim 2018 only. To receive information from our professional registration department, please log in to your Comic-Con Member ID account and click the “OPT-OUTS” option on the “My Account” tab. Make sure you have not checked the “Email Opt-Out” box. If you have selected to opt-out of email notifications from Comic-Con, you will not be notified of important registration updates. Comic-Con's professional registration program has two badge categories: The Creative Professional BadgeThe creative professional badge is a complimentary Comic-Con badge offered to professionals who take an active role in the creation, design, writing, editing, or production of comics, animation, films, books, video games, or toys. Job titles might include writer, artist, penciller, inker, colorist, letterer, animator, designer, sculptor, editor, publisher, producer, actor, etc. This category includes retired career professionals from comics and related popular arts field. The creative professional badge is also extended to those responsible for the content of websites that promote the historic or ongoing contribution of comics to art or society. The Trade Professional BadgeThe trade professional badge is offered to agents, publicists, managers, executives, marketing, sales, business development, advertising, legal representatives, and other industry professionals who need to attend the convention for business reasons. Comic-Con trade professional badges are available for purchase to those who do not qualify as a creative professional. WonderCon trade professional badges are complimentary. Unfortunately, we cannot extend complimentary professional badges to support staff, including sales, marketing, accounting, managers, testers, analysts, administrative staff, IT, facilities, operations, and others who are not directly involved in the creative process. To apply as a professional for Comic-Con and/or WonderCon Anaheim 2018, you must first determine your professional verification status. Professional Verification Status FlagsTo determine your professional verification status, log in to your Comic-Con Member ID account and select the "Professionals" tab. If you are a returning professional, your member class will be "Professional" and your professional verification status will be "DUE" or "NOT DUE" (see examples to the left). If you are a first-time professional applicant, no professional tab or verification status will be displayed, and you must submit an application and materials to be considered for professional member class. All first time applicants and returning professionals with a verification status of "DUE" must submit an application and supporting materials by August 16, 2017 to be considered for Comic-Con 2018. All applications submitted after this date will be considered for WonderCon Anaheim 2018 only. Please make sure to read the entire PDF below before you submit your application. An incomplete application or failure to submit the appropriate verification materials may greatly delay your application processing time. Please keep in mind that professional application review will begin after Comic-Con 2017.
The Application cut-off date is really early this year! Last year it was later wasn't it? It would be great to have a couple of months to wind-down and not have to worry about application deadlines for 2018!
Does the August 16th due date mean that you have to have it post marked by the 16th - or that Comic-con actually has to have it their hands by the 16th?
Any other pros receiving their approvals yet?
