ConFuzzled

Art & Content Wanted

Artwork Submission Deadline: January 31st

ConFuzzled produces a wide range of printed and digital materials for our attendees, including the conbook, posters, banners, and screen graphics displayed around the hotel. We love to feature contributions from our fans, followers, and attendees – whether that’s artwork, photography, or written pieces.

Thank you for helping make the ConFuzzled experience even more creative and memorable!

Need Some Ideas?

Want to draw, donate photos, or write something? Fantastic – and thank you! To get you started, here are some key resources:






Guidelines And Notes

Credits

  • Please provide your chosen name/nickname and (if you wish) a main social media handle or gallery link so we can credit you properly.
  • If you don’t want to provide a handle or gallery link, please say so clearly so we don’t have to chase you later.
  • Donated work that we use is credited in the rear of the conbook.
  • We do our best to keep track of where donated artworks, photography, and writing are used across ConFuzzled materials. However, due to the volume of submissions, last-minute changes, and the wide range of outputs (including print, digital, signage, and VR), we cannot guarantee providing individual feedback on where specific donations appear.

Artwork

  • Transparent background artwork of characters is very helpful, as it allows flexible placement in the conbook, banners, or on screens.
  • If your artwork has a background, make sure important details (characters or key objects) are not too close to the edge, so they don’t get cut during trimming.
  • Larger, raw files are preferred for quality (PSD or TIFF). PNG or JPG are fine but may lose quality during print conversion.
  • Mascot artwork is always welcome! Please check our mascot page here before including Brok, Mel, or Dylan.
  • Technical details:
    • Conbook size: A4 (210mm x 297mm) at 300dpi
    • Bleed: 10mm on all artwork with backgrounds
    • Posters/banners: usually 75–150dpi
    • Preferred formats: PNG, TIFF, PSD
    • General rule: the larger the better

Photography

  • Performance and costume photography is especially valued as it shows our vibrant community
  • Please ensure that anyone featured has given consent for their image to be used and published.
  • Accompanying captions or notes (e.g. costume details, event context) are helpful indeed.

Articles & Creative Writing

  • We welcome short articles, creative stories, poetry, or themed writing that ties into ConFuzzled, the furry fandom, or this year’s theme.
  • Suggestions for the kinds of written content we’re looking for are available on our theme page here.
  • Please ensure your writing tone is accessible, fun, inclusive, and appropriate for a wide readership.
  • Accompanying photos are encouraged.

Terms & Conditions

  • Submitting work does not guarantee inclusion, though we try to use as much as possible.
  • Placement details cannot be guaranteed in advance; we are unable to provide specific notes on where a piece was used, as this may change close to print and distribution deadlines.
  • Written submissions may be edited for length and clarity while keeping the spirit of the work intact.
  • Photography may be cropped for placement within larger compositions, such as in conbook or on a banner.
  • By submitting artwork, photography or written work, you grant ConFuzzled permission to publish your work under the Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence.
