For all questions regarding the artist alley, please contact the K-CON Finland artist alley manager: myynti@kpopsuomi.fi

​

In the K-CONartist alley search, we will give particular priority to the following:

1) The suitability of the works for K-CON; we are looking for artists whose works represent the main theme of K-CON (Korean music and Korean popular culture). Fanart from current series and Kpop groups is always a positive addition to the applicant's portfolio. 

2) Variety of work; in order to ensure a pleasant experience for those visiting the alley, we also favour artists whose work features a variety of source materials or a diverse range of products.

3) Technical expertise; we expect products to be of good quality and finish.

​

Who is selected and how?

We will select 8 artists for the artist alley. There is no first-time quota, but new artists/artists can also apply, as the selection will be based on portfolios. In the application process, the selection is made by a jury together with the artist alley manager. We will evaluate each applicant's portfolio on a scale of 1-5 in three different categories. The averages of the scores are added together and used as a guide for the selection process. However, final decisions are made by the manager of the artist alley.
