FAQ

F.A.Q.

When and Where is TCAF?
The Toronto Comic Arts Festival 2015 will take place Saturday, May 9th, 9am-5pm, and Sunday May 10th, 11am-5pm, at Toronto Reference Library, 789 Yonge Street.

Do I need to live in Toronto take part?
Nope. International guests are welcome as long as you're able to travel to Toronto for TCAF and staff your table over the two days. TCAF's FAQ has some good travel information for out of town visitors: http://torontocomics.com/about-tcaf/

How much will my table cost?
Since this is a new space at the library we’re offering tables for free this year while we work out any kinks.

Can I sell merchandise for my game?
Yep! However first and foremost this is a games showcase so you need to have your game set up for people to play.

My game has nothing to do with comics can I still apply?
Yep! While we will give preference to games with some connection to the world of comics, all games are welcome to apply!

Do I need to provide my own computer?
Yes you should bring everything you need to showcase your game. However you can request a table with a monitor if you’d like (see the form). A small number of loaner setups will also be available, check the box above if you’re interested.

Will there be internet on site?
Sort of. While the library technically has free wi-fi it’s low grade at the best of times and utterly useless during TCAF. If your game requires internet access (or good cellphone reception) we don’t recommend trying to showcase it.

I don’t have a game but my comic is super relevant to games, can I exhibit at Comics vs Games?
Unless it’s some form of interactive comic (like Meanwhile or Framed) probably not. Send us an email if you want to be put on a list and we’ll let you know if extra space becomes available.

I only want to showcase for one of the days, can I do that?
Probably not. Priority will be given to exhibitors showing both days but you can send us an email with your preferred day if you want to be put on a list.

Question not on the list? Email miguel@handeyesociety.com
