1. Contribute original ART, created by you, which depicts a personal memory of FanimeCon, a favorite FanimeCon theme, and/or a favorite mascot from years past. Include an Artist Statement describing the memory, theme, or mascot depicted and its significance. Make sure to note the year!
2. Contribute MEMORABILIA to be displayed within a timeline. We’re looking for items from 2004 or earlier, and we’re especially interested in badges, programs, and t-shirts!

To contribute any of the items above, send an email to artgallery@fanime.com. The Art Gallery will reply with directions for submitting based on the item.
