2022 Booth Format

This year BHC will have 3 areas for vendors:

Dealer Room

Artist Alley

Comic Corner

All 3 locations will have the same hours of operation:

Friday 1-8, Saturday 10-6, Sunday 10-4. The first hour is for VIP attendees only.

All vendor spaces include one 6 ft table and two chairs.

Double booth spaces are available in Dealer Room and Comic Corner, but not available in Artist Alley. Each booth is $200 for the weekend (all 3 days) and includes 2 badges. Additional vendor badges will be available for purchase.

Electrical power can be added for $10 more (limited quantity).

Which area is best for me?

Dealer Room (Black Hills Ballroom)

This area is intended for vendors who sell licensed merchandise. Two of our special guests will be signing autographs in this area.

Artist Alley (Atrium)

This is for original artwork and handmade crafts. Artist Alley is located in the front atrium and will be open the same hours as the other two rooms. Double spaces are not available here.

Comic Corner (Dakota B&C)

Comic corner is designed for, but not exclusive to, comics! This area is located right next to Main Events. At least on of our special guests will be signing autographs in this area.

Products

Black Hills Con is a multi-genre event and we encourage products to be as diverse as the fandoms themselves. Vendors are welcome to sell commercially licensed merchandise as well as original art and handmade products.

Bootlegs, forgeries, and counterfeit merchandise are strictly forbidden. Fanart is allowed, but it must be sold as fanart and may not infringe on copyrighted or trademarked material. BHC is not responsible if you violate intellectual property laws.

Black Hills Con is a family-friendly event and as such no 18+ (nudity/gore) merchandise can be displayed. You may sell these items, but only display censored versions. "Ask Me About..." signs are welcome as well.

If you have specific questions, please contact us at VendorsBHC@gmail.com.
