About the Dealers' Room

The Dealers Room is juried. The World Fantasy Convention reserves the right to select dealers and to limit the amount of table space assigned. Books are given priority, preferably new or collector’s editions. Art and art-quality hand-made jewelry may also be included; however, costumes, costume parts, knick-knacks, games, and toys are not considered appropriate for the Dealers' Room. Prior WFC experience and the type of merchandise offered will be considered. We reserve the right to make the final decision.

No applications will be accepted after October 1st, 2021. October 9th, 2021

Dealers will be responsible to collect and submit sales taxes (GST and QST) if applicable.

Customs brokers are available to help out-of-country dealers to prepare paperwork in advance of arriving at the border if traveling with their merchandise. We will have a system set up to facilitate cross-border shipping and customs brokering of merchandise. Questions may be sent to . Anyone needing brokerage services should contact us before September 1st, 2021.
