CZF 2024 applications open4/14/2024
Applications for the 2024 Chicago Zine Fest are now open! This year’s exhibition day will be taking place Saturday October 5 (11 am-6 pm) at the Columbia College Student Center (754 S Wabash Ave).
Here’s how registration will work: We have a smaller venue this year, so space will be at a premium. Everyone who wants to table at CZF should apply using the registration form. The organizers will select 60% of tablers, and the other 40% of tablers will be chosen at random. We are partially curating the fest to ensure there are an appropriate number of BIPOC and other marginalized zinesters represented, as well as to provide space for our community partners. Applications will close Saturday April 27th at 11:59 pm U.S. Central time. All applicants will hear back from us by Saturday May 18th. If your application was selected for a table at CZF 2024, you’ll have until Saturday June 8th to pay for your table; otherwise, you’ll forfeit your spot. The cost for a full table (5–6 feet long) is $40. We’ll also have an option to donate for those who are willing to pay a little extra to keep CZF financially secure. Each tabler will get a full table (no half tables this year, as part of our Covid mitigation strategy), so if you don’t have many zines, consider applying together with a friend. There will be a limit of four people per table. As another part of our Covid mitigation strategy, we’ll be refunding registration fees for anyone who is not able to attend the fest due to illness.
