🎨ART SHOW🖌️

Greetings creators large, small, and everything in between!

 

The Art Show returns for SizeCon’s 10th anniversary! This call for entries is open to all artists in the size community—whether you’re making work featuring giants, tiny folk, expansion, inflation, weight-gain, or some other size-y concept not mentioned here, safe for work or not safe for work, this show is open to you. Likewise, we’re open to all types of media, from drawings, paintings, sculptures, 3D modeling, photo collage, and beyond. If you’re doing something cool that we haven’t considered, please reach out!

Because this is a physical, in-person event, naturally, things are a bit different from the online-only

shows we’ve done previously. Below are all of the important details about both submitting your

work and how the gallery space will function. Please read everything carefully and thoroughly.

 

Eligibility Criteria

  • This opportunity is open to all artists 18 years of age and older creating work within the size community, including, but not limited to, work featuring giants, tiny folk, extreme size, muscles and muscle growth, expansion, inflation, weight-gain, or other concepts relating to size.

  • Both safe for work and not safe for work art may be submitted. Any work depicting persons or characters under 18 years of age will be rejected immediately.

  • All kinds of media are eligible, including, but not limited to, drawing, painting, sculpture, 3D modeling, and photo collage. Work may be traditional, digital, or a combination of both.

  • All work must be original and made by the artist. Likewise, the intellectual property depicted in the work (characters, settings, symbols, designs, etc.) must either belong to the artist or be within the public domain. Fan art will be rejected immediately. Images made through the use of AI will be rejected immediately.

  • Consent is essential: work, particularly photo collages, must not feature real people, whether celebrity or otherwise, without proof of consent from the person in question.

  • Artists do not need to be an exhibitor or attendee at the upcoming in-person SizeCon (March 27th through March 29th, 2026) to be eligible for inclusion. Being an exhibitor or attendee has no impact on the selection process. There is no cost to submit your work, and no purchase is necessary to be selected. Anyone from anywhere in the world that meets the above eligibility criteria is welcome and encouraged to submit their work.

Regarding Accepted Works

  • This is not a traditional gallery relationship: SizeCon is not selling your work on your behalf, and no

    transactions, monetary or otherwise, take place within the Art Show in any shape or form. Attendees

    who visit the gallery are free to purchase any available work or merchandise from individual artists

    directly, both in-person and online through the artists’ own platforms.

  • All rights to each work remain with each respective artist, and SizeCon claims no ownership over the

    works or intellectual property featured in the show. Your work remains yours!

  • Because SizeCon is a small (no pun intended!) and entirely volunteer-run organization, we are unable

    to facilitate shipping original work to and from the convention. Long-time staff member ZutaraBeliever

    has graciously offered to professionally print reproductions of accepted works for display in the

    gallery, at no cost to participating artists. Our intention is to preserve these reproductions so that they

    can be displayed again at future in-person SizeCon Art Shows. Upon request, at the conclusion of the

    event, we are happy to destroy any and all reproductions of an artist’s work that we have made.

    Artists that attend the convention are free to take home any reproductions of their own work at the

    conclusion of the event if desired.

  • Artists accepted into the show and attending the convention are welcome to bring their own originals

    to display, if they so choose. This is not required to participate in the show. It will be the responsibility

    of the artist to bring the proper equipment to display the work (easels, stands, hardware, etc.), and it

    will be the responsibility of the artist to pick up their work at the conclusion of the event. Any original

    work left behind after March 29th will be discarded. Finally, the artist accepts any and all liability for

    any loss or damage that may occur to their original work while at SizeCon. The gallery space will be

    within sight of our security staff during convention hours, and the space will be locked during nonconvention

    hours, but there’s always that small chance (still no pun intended!) that something could

    happen.

Submission Guidelines

  • Submissions will be accepted until midnight, March 8th, 2026. As long as it’s March 8th somewhere on

    Earth, submissions are open!

  • Artists may submit up to five (5) of their best works. In the case of three dimensional work, such as

    sculptures or 3d models, artists may submit up to three (3) images of a single work from different

    angles (for example front, side, and back), for a total of fifteen (15) images, three (3) for each three

    dimensional work.

  • For works featuring real people, celebrity or otherwise, proof of consent must be included in the

    submission.

  • Images attached to an artist’s submission must be titled in the following format:

    “<Your name, username, or handle> – <Title of Work>”

    Example: “TinyTim – Giantess Anatomical Study No.4”

    “BeeegBess – Untitled”

    • Placards for each piece will be printed in advance of the show, and the titles will be sourced

      from the file names of the images attached to each artist’s submission. File names such as

      “v2Final-Final_for_real012” make this difficult, if not impossible.

  • Reproductions for display in the show will be printed from the same files attached to the submission,

    so ensure that the attached images are of a high resolution. As a general rule of thumb, standard

    printing resolution is 300dpi (dots per inch, sometimes referred to as ppi, or pixels per inch). Unless

    the work is specifically intended to be of a small size, aim for at least 1,800 pixels (6 inches) on the

    shortest side.

  • For artists planning to attend the convention who are interested in bringing their own original work to

    display, include this information in the submission. Specifically, what are the dimensions of the work,

    and what is required to display it safely? Is the work unusually heavy, or are there other physical

    characteristics that staff should be aware of? In the event that it’s not feasible to display the original

    work, the piece can still be displayed through printed reproductions, again at no cost to the artist.

  • Artists must include the name, username, handle, or pseudonym that they would like to have printed

    on signage for the show. Please double check that this is spelled correctly, capitalized, and punctuated

    as intended. With the wide variety of naming conventions online, it may not be clear to staff that

    “lilbugguy” was intended to be printed as “Lil’ Bug Guy,” for example.

  • Artists must include at least one link to either a personal website or an online social media presence

    (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, DeviantArt, Tumblr, BlueSky, Threads, etc.) in order to verify authorship

    of the work. Artists’ links will be printed on signage alongside accepted works so that attendees can

    follow the artists outside of the convention.

  • Submissions must be sent to production@sizecon.com

    The subject line must be in the following format:

    “<Your name, username, or handle> 2026 Art Show Submission”

    Example: “TinyTim 2026 Art Show Submission”

    Artists do not have to include their real names if they do not wish to.
