Conbook Submission Guidelines 
About Anthrocon Thank you for your interest in submitting material to the Anthrocon 2010 conbook! The convention caters to furry fandom (fans of anthropomorphic animals) and is the largest of its type in the world. The convention takes place in Pittsburgh, PA from June 24–27, 2010. Anthrocon seeks submissions of artwork, fiction, photography, and articles for publication in its 2010 conbook. Anthrocon asks for non-exclusive print rights for submitted works. The artist or author may publish the submitted work in any other fashion; previously, at the same time, and after. Conbook submissions and signed release form must be received no later than April 26, 2010. The theme for our 2010 convention is “Modern Stone Age Furries” Submissions which complement this theme may be given priority. All submissions should be in the ‘G’ to ‘PG-13’ rating. The Publications Department reserves the right to reject submissions for any reason. All submissions should include the author’s real name, pseudonym (if desired), and title of submission on the release form. Unless requested otherwise, submissions may be used in other Anthrocon publications (i.e., press badges, keycards, programming materials, etc.) at Anthrocon’s discretion. Each submission sent according to guidelines (proper formatting, release forms, etc.) will be entered in a random drawing. Two submissions (one artwork, one writing) will be randomly selected April 27, 2010. The creator of each submission selected will receive a Supersponsorship (or upgrade, if membership has already been purchased) to Anthrocon 2010. There is no limit on the number of entries that may be submitted, but the same person cannot win both drawings. Winners will be notified by e-mail. Members of the Anthrocon Board of Directors are not eligible for this drawing. Supersponsorship must be claimed for the 2010 convention and may not be applied against future years. Winning the drawing does not guarantee submission(s) will be used in the convention book, and publication of submitted work in the final convention book is not necessary to win. Electronic submissions are preferred. Usable page space is 7.25” wide x 10” high. Artwork may be scaled to fit layout as needed. Submission of color artwork is encouraged. Acceptable file formats include TIFF, JPEG (high quality), Adobe Photoshop, or Adobe PDF. All artwork must be high-resolution at 300 dpi or higher. Text submissions may be sent as .TXT, .RTF, Microsoft Word .DOC, or Adobe PDF. Text submissions should be no more than 2000 words. To submit your file electronically:
Text files and release forms may also be submitted via email to book-2010 AT anthrocon.org.
