	Booths from Polymanga Artist Village are free For 20 years, the Polymanga convention in Switzerland (with over 50,000 attendees) has been providing 100+ free booths for comic artists and illustrators from around the world, including space, infrastructure, and communication support. Polymanga Artist Village has become one of the best in the world.
	By selection only The selection of artists exhibiting in the Artist Village is made exclusively through a selection process from all the applications submitted on the Polymanga website. Each year, several hundred artists submit their applications, and 110 will be chosen.
	The selection is individual The application must be individual, and the 3 drawings you submit must be entirely created by you. Joint applications are not allowed, and fan art will not be accepted. Only your original creations.
To request a booth, you can register via the contact form on the Polymanga website (Polymanga.com) from December 2nd to December 10th in the Artists category.”
	Submit 3 drawings You must include 3 illustrations in your application that you have drawn yourself and that you have not yet submitted to the Polymanga organization.
		No Fan Art, No AI-generated art, No Erotic art Fan art, erotic drawings, and AI-generated art are not allowed in the images submitted with your application. Fan art is permitted at your booth, provided it makes up less than 30% of your displayed works. Polymanga supports original creation. The fact that you can draw Naruto is not of interest to us.
Put your heart into these 3 creations, as we will only judge based on these 3 drawings. It sometimes happens that talented artists neglect this stage and are rejected because their 3 drawings were hastily made. The deadline for submitting the application form is December 10th at 1:00 PM. You will know by December 12th if you are one of the selected artists. All selected individuals who will have a booth must participate in the “Ma Bulle” drawing contest at Polymanga before the festival. The files you send us must not exceed 10 MB. You can also provide us with links to the images.
