Vendor Rules & Guidelines
► You MUST be of legal age in your place of residence AND at least 18+ to be a vendor. Minors generally cannot enter into a legal contract on their own.
► CozyCon welcomes all kinds of creators from digital to traditional visual artists, writers, textile creators, jewelers and other crafters, 3D designers and traditional sculptors, game developers, musicians, performers and more! This event is also open to all fandoms/industries as long as content follows our rules. We also welcome services that are for creatives. (Vendor space is essentially an ad to bring attendees to your shop/offers/stream/etc.)
► CozyCon is not responsible for your content and will not protect you from legal action. We retain the right to blacklist folks doing anything illegal or breaking the rules/terms.
► NSFW is allowed as long as:
1) Applications have been filled out properly so we can appropriately mark the rating on our pages

3) Your NSFW content is on a site that is behind a warning/age or log-in block.
4) Your banner art must remain SFW.
► CozyCon has no direct involvement in your transactions. If you have issues, please take it up with the other party involved, or the administration of the site they were using. We do not have the means to handle disruptive attendees OFF-SITE so please use the block/mute functionality there or contact the admins of the sites you are using to report users. If the user is also on our discord server and is breaking the rules of the event, you can contact us to report it.
►We reserve the right to remove vendors/panelists who abuse our efforts & event, be found scamming their clients, etc.
► CozyCon does not provide payment transaction services. Every vendor will have their own services to conduct business through and are beholden to those service rules and regulations.
DISCORD
We highly encourage vendors to be in our Discord as that is our "home base" and where a lot of the vendor perks are setup. If you are not there, we cannot set you up with the vendor role, posting access for sales, etc, which is part of the paid perks!
VRCHAT
While we do have VRChat booths and posters available for our vendors, you DO NOT have to participate in VRChat! Think of it like an art show, your booth is there for people to look at, you do not have to be there and it's impossible to be in every instance of the world.
PLEASE NOTE: You DO NOT need a VR Headset! VRChat is accessible in "desktop mode"!
The vendor costs help us continue to keep the event running and are based on the perks provided for each tier. Please read them carefully before choosing!

What does this mean?
It means, CozyCon (CCO) and Furnal Equinox (FE) are sharing resources, helping each other out and working together to promote each others events. We are still entirely separate events and separate teams so if you have questions about one, you need to contact that respective team.
We're going to be focusing on September being CCO's main event, with a smaller May event.FE's event is in March and we will be promoting it as they will ours.FE is adapting their VRChat worlds for us to use, including a Vendor space for our vendors, available year-round.Our vendors will now get all year round booths in these worlds (during both CCO and FE events) so we will only be doing one vendor application a year instead of two.Both events will be promoting each other on social media, our websites, etc.Sharing is caring! we all know how cons need more volunteers and we hope that by partnering we can grow our volunteer pool and have them overlap!Maybe more~ Who knows what the future will hold and we're very excited!
Event Information
EVENT RULES
GENERAL
► Our discord server has it's own sets of rules for participating there so please be sure to read them when you join and follow the Discord Guidelines and Terms of Service.
► We reserve the right to remove anyone who abuses our efforts & event, be found scamming, etc.
PANELISTS & VENDORS
► Our focus is on creative topics or services that support the arts.
► You MUST be of legal age in your place of residence AND at least 18+ to host a panel or be a vendor. Minors generally cannot enter into a legal contract on their own, and as such, are a liability in cases of selling wares.
► CozyCon welcomes all kinds of creators from digital to traditional visual artists, writers, textile creators, jewelers and other crafters, 3D designers and traditional sculptors, game developers, musicians, performers and more! This event is also open to all fandoms/industries as long as content follows our rules.
► CozyCon is not responsible for your content and will not protect you from legal action. We retain the right to blacklist folks doing anything illegal or breaking the rules/terms.
► NSFW is allowed as long as:
1) Applications have been filled out properly so we can appropriately mark the rating on our pages
2) NSFW content must be drawn/created content, no real life NSFW content
3) Your NSFW content is on a site that is behind a warning/age or log-in block.
4) Your banner art must remain SFW.
► CozyCon has no direct involvement in your transactions or experiences with a vendor or panelist. If you have issues, please take it up with the other party involved, or the administration of the site they were using. If an attendee/vendor/panelist is breaking the rules of the event, you can contact us to report it, though in the mean time we highly suggest you utilize the block/mute features when applicable.
► CozyCon does not provide payment transaction services. Every vendor will have their own services to conduct business through and are beholden to those service rules and regulations.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
►Is it a FURRY event?
We are not specifically a furry event. We welcome all industries/fandoms and that does include furries! Our mascot is an anthropomorphic sloth because that's what we thought fit from the initial ideas. (The creator of the character, Temrin, is also a fantasy artist and draws anthro's better than humans. ;P )
►How does an online convention work?
We are a hub for the event, but each individual Vendor or Panelist will be hosting their offerings and events in their own way. (CozyCon does now offer a centralized Discord server to host panels, events, and general event chatting.)
What this means is that some folks might stream an event, it might be based around and/or done in a game or chat platform, etc. Vendors may host their offerings in an online store, through their website, a journal or gallery and they may have sales/commissions/streams during the event. What and how they run their event involvement is up to them. Vendors and Panelists are from all over the world so expect them to charge in their own currency and respect that.
►How do I attend and is there a fee?
Attending is free and we hope you'll spend your money buying from the Vendors or tipping your favourite panelists! Attending is simple, you only need to check the Vendors or Events pages during (and shortly before) the event to check out whats happening and when! Each listing will have a link to participate wherever that person is hosting their content and you can also interact directly with most vendors/panelists on our Discord.
If you are interested in event merch, we have a Con Store!
►Why do Vendors have a fee?
At the moment, it's not free to host this, even if we are only acting as a hub. We have overhead to cover that we cannot afford out of pocket, so we've added a fee to those who will be making money off our event in hopes of making that money back and being able to run this again and make the event better in the future!
►Why doesn't CozyCon charge for Vendors listings in USD?
Because we're based in Canada! (This is good news for Americans, IT'S CHEAPER!)
►I want to volunteer to help the event beyond running panels
Awesome! We've got a form up for those wanting to help mod or staff.
Con Store
Event specific designs are only available for a limited time around the event and will be discontinued afterwards.
Your purchase keeps us running and hiring artists from the community.
