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. NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Publication of submitted work in the convention book is not necessary to enter or win. Winning the drawing does not guarantee publication of submitted work in the convention book. Submissions must be received between 12:01 a.m. EDT July 6, 2009 and 11:59 p.m. EDT April 26, 2010. The drawing is open to everyone who submits artwork or writing which is properly formatted and includes a release form (see Conbook Submission Instructions). Members of the Anthrocon Board of Directors, their immediate family members, and individuals who are currently ineligible to attend Anthrocon are not eligible for this drawing. To enter the drawing, submissions and release forms may be uploaded electronically at http://tinyurl.com/yakjf76, or sent via CD-ROM or hardcopy to Anthrocon Publications Dept., c/o Karl Jorgensen, P. O. Box 4211, Leesburg, VA 20177. Each submission received according to guidelines will be automatically entered in the drawing. There is no limit on the number of entries that may be submitted, but the same person cannot win both drawings. In the event of a duplicate winner, an alternate name will be drawn at random. Odds of winning the drawing are based on the number of submissions received. The creator of each submission selected in the drawing will receive a Supersponsorship to Anthrocon 2010 (value $195), or an upgrade, if a membership has already been purchased. Two submissions (one from artwork, one from writing) will be randomly selected on April 27, 2010 and the winners will be notified by e-mail (or U.S. Mail if no e-mail address provided). Supersponsorship must be claimed for the 2010 convention and may not be applied against future years. This drawing is sponsored by Anthrocon, Inc., PO Box 476, Malvern, PA 19355.
