Greetings creators large, small, and everything in between!

For the first time ever, we’re taking the Art Show out of cyberspace and into the real world! We’ve reserved a sizable physical gallery space at our next in-person SizeCon event, and our goal is to fill it floor to ceiling with the incredible work being made by the many artists in our community.

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 sizey 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 (February 28th through March 2nd, 2025) 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 2nd 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 non-convention hours, but there’s always that small chance (still no pun intended!) that something could happen.

Submission Guidelines

• Submissions will be accepted until midnight, February 14th, 2025. As long as it’s February 14th 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> 2025 Art Show Submission”

  Example: “TinyTim 2025 Art Show Submission”

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