Registration FAQ

To register for the convention, you will need an account on our website. It is highly recommended you create one before the registration for the convention opens to speed up the registration process.
The convention is taking place between 18th and 22nd of February 2026. Registration will open on October 4th 2025, 20:00 CEST.
All attendees must be 18 or older from the first day of the convention.
The badge numbers are assigned according to the time of payment for the booking, not the time of registration. So it is possible to get a lower badge number than someone who signed up before you if you pay first.
Yes, you can do this yourself on the booking page once you have registered and while stock is available. However, please keep in mind that it is not possible to downgrade again afterwards.
We accept bank transfers, Swish, and credit cards. We do not currently accept PayPal.
You must present some form of valid photo ID with your date of birth on it at the convention check-in, such as a passport, driver's licence, or national ID Card. If you are unsure whether your form of ID is acceptable or not, please contact registration support well in advance of the convention for confirmation as to its acceptance.
Please note that digital/electronic identification is NOT considered a valid ID for NordicFuzzCon.
Your registration has to be paid in full within 7 days of it being approved.
Please note that bank transfers can possibly take several days to arrive and thus should be done as soon as possible. Please contact registration support if your payment has not yet been processed and the 7-day deadline is approaching, as registrations which have not been paid for within 7 days will be removed. In this case, please be prepared to provide proof of payment to expedite the payment process for our team.
NFC has a no-refund policy, but you can transfer your registration to someone else. See the question “Can I transfer my registration to someone?”.
We try really hard to make NFC as inclusive and welcoming for everyone, including disabled furs. Our hotels have some accessible rooms available, and we have various adjustments around the convention spaces for those who need them.

Please indicate during the registration in the "Comments and Additional information" field if you require a room with special additions (for example, a room / shower fit to accommodate a wheelchair or a shower with a chair, etc.), and we will try to accommodate you the best way we can.

We also encourage you to apply for a “Blue Card” after you register so that we are aware of any accessibility needs we may have to accommodate for.

If you would like to contact us about accessibility, please email accessibility@nordicfuzzcon.org

Attending FAQ

Yes some do, but at their own discretion! It’s recommended to bring a credit card as Sweden is a (mostly) cash free country and many stores, bars, hotels, and the Clarion itself does not accept cash on site.
No physical ‘convention ticket’ is required. If you’ve registered and paid for the convention, you are in our database! Just make sure to bring a valid Photo ID to get access to the event.
As a first time attendee, it can be hard to know where to go and what to do at the convention, but some recommended events to attend when new are:
  • Opening Ceremony
  • The ‘So This Is Your First Furry Con?’ panel
  • Pub Quiz
  • The Snack Exchange
  • Any ‘Meet and Greet’ event!
All times and locations will be announced closer to the convention!
Yes, and with it comes endless power, if endless power entails seeing when and where all the events are held and at what time they start! You can also use the app to catch fursuiters, find your way around with convention maps and even unlock achievements!

You can find the Android and iOS apps on their respective app stores.
Yes, but only at the designated “poster walls” as this prevents clutter of areas designated clutter free - which includes pretty much everywhere. These poster walls will be clearly marked and visible and are often located in the main convention areas.
During the conventions, we really do need all the help we can get! If you wish to volunteer for the convention in exchange for a small reward and leagues of admiration from our staff, then visit ConOps on site and ask to join SOUP, our on-site volunteering program.
Whenever you travel abroad, it’s always recommended to have travel insurance should anything go wrong. The insurance would cover any unexpected visits to hospitals or missed flights!

If you are insured or covered by a state’s social security system in the EU, Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland, you can get a European Health Insurance card. For more information, contact your health insurance provider.
No vaccinations are mandatory, but it is recommended that you are fully vaccinated against covid-19 in order to prevent the further spread of the disease. Do also consider getting a flu vaccine to protect yourself and your fellow furs from acquiring concrud!

Payment FAQ

To pay, you will have to use bank transfer, Swish (Swedish banks only) or card. Unfortunately, we do not accept PayPal.
Please note that an administration fee of 1.9% will be added to each payment, regardless of the payment method.
Once you have registered, you will receive an email containing all the information you need for paying. You can also visit your registration page to view your current status and pay. Please note that registrations are manually screened, so it may take a little while before your registration confirmation email arrives. There is no need to panic!
The room prices are per room, and if you wish to share a room with someone you organise this on your own. Please check the “Room Share FAQ” section for more information.

For information about prices, please see the pricing page.

If you have any questions or experience any problems, please contact registration support.
NordicFuzzCon is a cash-free convention. On-site you can only pay with a credit card or Swish (for Swedish bank accounts). This includes convention check-in, the con store, and most of the hotels (including the Clarion). Our Charity team also prefers card, but Swedish cash donations are still accepted.
All major Swedish banks have started a collaboration for simpler, faster money transfers among people and organisations. This collaboration is an app called Swish. The app enables money to be sent and received instantly, regardless of your bank! Bear in mind that you may have to activate Swish for your Swedish bank account first. More information on Swish available on the official website.
Processing the bank transfer usually takes 2 to 3 business days. Holidays might delay the processing. All the payments are checked and allocated by NFC manually. This can take up to 7 days. If there's no update to your account balance after that period, please contact registration support.

Book a Room FAQ

A room can be booked while registering for the convention or it can be added afterwards to an existing booking, while rooms are available.
You can only book 1 room, but you can select up to 3 hotel rooms while registering to increase your chances at getting one of them.
Sometimes rooms might become unavailable while you register. For this reason we offer you the option to select up to 3 different hotel rooms during the registration process, which you can arrange in order of importance to you.

Once you submit your registration for approval, the system will try to book 1 of those 3 rooms based on the order of importance you selected them and availability of those rooms.

If the room you selected as most important (first in the list) is available then you will receive this room. If this room is no longer available then the system will try to assign you the room you have specified as the second option. If that room is also unavailable then the system will try to assign you a room from the third option.

If all 3 selected rooms are unavailable then you will be placed on a waiting list for the room that you specified as the first option.
A waiting list is meant for those waiting for a specific item or room which is currently not available. Meaning that the waiting list is a list of people waiting for an item or room to become available again in order to obtain it.

For example - If you try to book a hotel room while registering for the convention, but the hotel room is no longer available when you finish registering then you might be placed on the waiting list for that specific hotel room at the selected hotel.

Example 2 - If you select a product that you would like to add to your booking, but the product is no longer available, then you will be placed on the waiting list for this product.

Waiting lists work in the order they are joined. Meaning if you are the first to join a waiting list, then you are first in line to acquire the next available item or room.

* Please note that there is no guarantee that more items or rooms will become available. Meaning that being on the waiting list does not guarantee that you will receive the selected item or room.
We’re offering a large variety of rooms across a number of different hotels in Malmö. The rooms offer space for one to four people, depending on the hotel and room category. You can find a list of all the hotels and their respective room categories on our hotel information page.
If you want to share a room with one or more people, only one of you needs to book a room. The others only need to buy a convention ticket and can then be added to your room through our website.

More details about setting up and managing room sharing can be found in the Room Share FAQ section.
Only the person who has booked the room has to pay for it, entirely. This includes the extra days (early arrival, late departure) if they were booked. Accordingly, if you are sharing your room with someone, you will have to individually sort out how to divide those costs among yourselves.

If you’re going to join someone in their room, make sure they have actually booked a room before you give them any money, by having them add you to their room share.
Early arrival gives you an extra hotel night before the convention. Late departure allows you to stay one night longer. These are extras that can be selected during the registration process, with additional costs as listed on our pricing page.
Yes, you can select these days on your registration. If there are no rooms available, you can join the waiting list in case more rooms become available for those days. If you have already paid, you will have to contact registration support to add additional days.
Yes, you can change to another room category on your registration page as long as the room you want is available and you have not yet paid. If the room you want is not available, you can still join the waiting list, but then you will lose your original room.
It is not possible to pick a different room category for different days. The room category you book is the one you will be staying in for the entirety of your stay.
If you have not paid for the room yet, you can easily release it anytime by clicking the button “Remove Accommodation” on your registration page.
However, once you have paid for a room, it cannot be removed from your registration anymore. The only option in this case is to transfer your registration to someone else. You can find more information about that in the Registration Transfer FAQ section.

Registration Transfer FAQ

Yes, you can transfer your registration to another person. However, only the entire registration including convention ticket, hotel room, sponsor upgrade and merchandise items can be transferred, and only once everything is fully paid.
The person who is supposed to get your registration needs to have a valid account on our website, but must not already have an existing registration for the convention.

To initiate the transfer, both you and the person that is supposed to receive your registration need to contact registration support and tell them the other person’s account’s email address / the other person confirms that they want to get your registration, respectively. When contacting registration support, please make sure to use the same email address that you have used for your registration!
No, only entire registrations can be transferred.
If it is a physical item (for example a t-shirt or sponsor gifts), then you can always give them away in person, after you have picked them up at the convention. Other products like rooms or sponsorships, can only be transferred along with the entire registration.
If you have not paid for the room yet, you can easily remove it from your registration by clicking the “Remove Accommodation” button on your registration page. However, if you have already paid for it, then you need to transfer your entire registration to somebody else and register again.
No, only registrations that are fully paid can be transferred.
Yes, but only as long as you have not yet paid for the product. As soon as you have made a payment for it, it will no longer be possible to exchange or remove it from your registration.

For any product removal or change requests, please contact registration support.
No, a registration can only be transferred to somebody who does not already have one.
That person can request their registration to be removed or transferred to another person who does not already have one. However, in case of already paid registrations, we are not able to issue refunds. In that case, they can always try to sell it to somebody else and contact registration support afterwards about the sale.
Every person with a paid registration can generate a unique code on their registration page and enter the email address of a potential buyer. You can give them your email address and ask them for their code. If they give it to you, you can send that code to registration support. Our support team will then use that code along with your email address to verify that the person making an offer actually has a registration. The support team also can give you details about the person's registration, including the products on it and the total value of the registration.
If you are worried, please do not send any payment before our support team has confirmed that the seller is genuine!
On your registration page, after you have received your badge number, there is a section called “Booking actions”, where you can find a button to generate a unique code and a field to enter the email address of a potential buyer. You can give this code to a person who has expressed interest in buying your registration. They can then send that code to registration support, who will then share information about your registration with the potential buyer if their email address matches the email address you have entered.

Each code is meant to be used only once, so please give it to only one person. If the person who was interested declines to buy your registration after receiving your code, you can always generate a new code on your registration page for a new interested person, which will then render the previous code invalid.

Do not share your code publicly! Reset your code immediately, if you are worried that it might have been abused or shared with other people who should not receive it!
No, it is not a requirement, but highly recommended to use a transfer code, especially if the other person is not a friend or someone you trust 100%.

Room Share FAQ

Please read this page carefully, since it answers many common questions about how room sharing works at NordicFuzzCon.

You will be able to create a room share with other attendees once your payment has been processed and you have received your badge number, which is required to set up room shares. Room shares can be set up on your registration page.
Only a person who has booked a room can set up room shares. If you have not booked a room but would like to join someone else’s room, they have to invite you through their registration page.

If you have booked a room and want to invite someone, log in to the NordicFuzzCon website and navigate to your registration page. Click the “Room shares'' button under the Accommodation section.

On the Room Shares page, the second section should contain buttons for every period of the days on which you have booked a hotel room.

In order to set up a room share, you will have to select the “Main days” and enter the badge number of every person you would like to invite to your room.

The invited people will receive an email regarding your invitation and will have the option of accepting or declining it on their room share page. Everyone involved will also receive confirmation emails when room share invitations are sent, accepted, or declined..

It is only possible to share a room with people who have registered and fully paid their registration. Note that only the person who has booked the room will be able to send additional invitations to add more people to the room share.
You can book the early or late days to your room and then come on the main days yourself. If your roommates are on the list for the room, they will be able to check in. You will have to sort out how you want to split the costs.
Yes! Only when you are officially sharing the room, can you room together. Once you are in the room share, you will be able to see the dates of the hotel booking (i.e. Monday to Monday, main days, etc.), check-in at the hotel once you arrive, eat the hotel breakfast, and get a keycard to access the room.
No. The room share is valid for the entirety of the days which have been booked.
Only the person who has booked the room has control over who gets to stay in their room. This means they can freely add, but also remove, people from their room. Therefore, we can unfortunately not help you if the room owner decides to remove you from their room.
If the room owner decides to transfer their registration, the room share will get reset. This means that all people will be removed from that room automatically, and it will be up to the new owner of the room to set up a new room share.
After the deadline, we will submit the entire guest list to the hotels. So from that moment on, room shares can no longer be changed on our website. If you still need to add or remove people from your room, or remove yourself from someone’s room, you can contact registration support, so they can forward the information to the hotel.
For any last minute changes (later than February 11th, 2026), we kindly ask you to arrange this with the hotel directly when you arrive.
The owner of the room has the responsibility to look out for the room shares and find someone to room with. There will be a system on the website where you can enter that you are looking for someone to share your room with.
If a stranger is offering to share a room with you, you can make sure they have actually booked a room by having them add you to the room share before you pay. If you are adding someone to your room share and they do not pay you, you can remove them from the room share on your registration page.
If you have questions regarding any of the above or regarding your registration, please do not hesitate to https://nfuzz.co/registration-support.

If your question was not answered in this FAQ, it might be answered elsewhere on our site. Make sure to check out the Registration Information page, as well as the Good to Know page.

Room Type FAQ

At Clarion Malmö Live, you can select from three different room types. Regular rooms are perfect for your typical con experience, where you can have friends over and party. Quiet rooms are for those who want to use their rooms for resting only, and who wish to keep it quiet. Buffer rooms are in-between these two room types, and have more relaxed rules than the quiet rooms.

  • Regular room rules:
    • Room parties should not disturb neighbours after 00:00
    • Room doors have to be closed after 00:00
    • No noise in the hallways after 00:00
  • Buffer room rules:
    • No room parties after 22:00
    • No music after 22:00
    • No noise in the hallways after 22:00
  • Quiet room rules:
    • No music at any time
    • No room parties at any time
    • No extra people in the room after 22:00
    • No noise in the hallways at any time
The option to apply for a quiet or buffer room will appear when you create your room share after registration. Please note, however, that this option is only for you to indicate your preference. While we do try our best to accommodate everybody’s wishes, there is no guarantee that you will end up on your preferred room type floor.
Like every year, room parties and other social gatherings are allowed in all of the hotels, as long as they do not become extremely noisy. Keep in mind that the party should remain inside the room. Partying in the hallway is not permitted. Please keep the noise down after midnight and be considerate of your neighbours. Further rules for partying at the convention announced on-site will apply.
Yes, but please be mindful of the fact the quiet floors are also used by NFC staff who work during the night. So please keep the noise down to allow them to sleep.
If you want to spend the evening hanging out with friends, please go to the lobby or to your friends' regular rooms instead.
Yes, but please keep in mind that you are on a buffer room floor. Hence, do not turn it into a loud room party. Normal conversation level is fine though.
Please tell them to be quiet. Alternatively, feel free to contact security through the phone number on the back of your attendee badge or through @medicurity on Telegram, but as a general rule contacting security by phone will warrant a swifter response. Keep in mind that security will only respond to noise complaints at Clarion Malmö Live. If you have a noise complaint at a different hotel, please contact the appropriate hotel reception.

Hotel FAQ

All hotels offer free Wi-Fi for attendees staying at them, and the convention hotel offers free Wi-Fi for all attendees. As the Wi-Fi might be crowded at the convention hotel, we ask people to try and limit themselves to just one device each or get a prepaid sim-card with a data plan.
If you are staying at the Clarion Hotel (convention centre), the Moment Hotel, or any of the Elite Hotels, you may put up a door sign in a non-destructive manner from Wednesday onwards. To do so, please use Blu Tack.

However, if you are staying with Best Western, please do not put up door signs, as they are not allowed due to fire regulations. Similarly, at the Clarion Collection Temperance, you are not allowed to stick signs to the door, but you may hang them from the door handle. Alternatively, you can attach your sign to a tiny string, which you bind to the coat rack on the inside of the room door.

Please do not forget to remove your door sign before your check-out.
A map showing the location of all hotels is available on our hotels page.
There is a parking garage underneath the Clarion, but the hotel does not own it. The garage is owned by the Malmö municipality and the cost is around 300 SEK per day for parking. Payment is only possible via one of the following apps: Parkster, EasyPark, ePark. There are also other parking garages nearby such as Slagthuset Garage, at 230 SEK per day, Caroligaraget, at 150 SEK per day, and P-hus Bagers plats, at 250 SEK per day.

You can find a good online map to help you plan ahead and research your options on the Parkering Malmö website. Be aware that not all locations are open 24/7.
Yes, there is a limited amount of rooms like this in most hotels. Please make sure to fill out the specific part of the registration form. If you need any additional information, you can contact registration support before you book!
We also encourage you to apply for a Blue Card after you register so we can better assist with your accessibility needs.
If you have any general accessibility questions, or want to know what support is available for disabled people at NFC, please send an email to accessibility@nordicfuzzcon.org.
After registering you can indicate if you wish to have two separate beds or one double-width bed (regardless of whether the room category has it or not). We will try to accommodate your wishes as best as we can. While there is no guarantee that we can fulfil everybody’s wish, we will try our best.
Only dogs are allowed, and only in some of the hotels. Please also keep in mind that dogs are only allowed in certain areas, where special rules may apply. If you plan to bring an animal please remember to tick the appropriate checkbox during registration.

If you are bringing a dog and not a service animal (like a seeing-eye dog), cleaning fees will apply. All pets must be pre-approved before they are allowed to attend the convention.
If you are a residential attendee (that means you are part of a room share in one of our hotels), breakfast at your hotel is included in the price. If you do not have a room at the Clarion Malmö Live, you can still visit their breakfast buffet for a fee, to be paid directly to the hotel on-site. All hotels offer extended breakfast until 10 or 11 am during the main convention days. Please ask at the reception during check-in.
Yes. However, if you are sending or ordering items directly to your hotel, please make sure that the package contains your full name (as written in your passport) and it will be sent to the hotel. The addresses of the different hotels can be found on the respective hotel page.

Do not solely write NordicFuzzCon on the package. It has to mention your legal name in order for you to collect the package at the hotel.

NordicFuzzCon takes no responsibility for items ordered or shipped directly to any of the hotels.
Yes. However, it is not permitted to eat or drink your own consumables outside of your hotel room.
Some rooms at Clarion Malmö Live have a small minibar, but you will have to pay 160 SEK (~16 EUR) at the reception to unlock it. There are ice machines on certain floors, so you will be able to cool your drinks.
Yes! Try to use it whenever possible, as it is a quick and healthy alternative to those pesky elevators that nobody likes anyway.
“Do Not Disturb” signs will generally be respected until they are taken down, but if they are up past 11:00 in the morning, your room might not be cleaned that day. Please note that on certain days hotel staff may clean up rooms regardless of the “Do Not Disturb” signs.
Yes! We are not trying to stand between you and a fun night, we just have to comply with Swedish law. Alcohol in the hotel area is only allowed in your room or purchased from the bar. When you have to move bottles to / from your room, make sure that they are properly stashed away inside either a backpack or a solid, opaque container. This rule applies to the entirety of the hotel premises including the underground parking area. Only private rooms are excluded from this rule. See the corresponding section in our Rules of Conduct for more information.
Like every year, room parties and other social gatherings are allowed at all of the hotels, as long as they do not get extremely noisy. Please keep the noise down after midnight and be considerate of your neighbours. Rules for partying at the convention announced on-site apply. Keep in mind that the party should remain inside the room. Partying in the hallway is not permitted.
For buffer and quiet rooms additional rules apply.
Please read more in the Information -> FAQ -> Room Type FAQ -> Room Types about the quiet and buffer rooms.
Yes. You can book it when you check in, depending on the availability. Try to check out before 12 pm, as the hotel will charge you if you take too long.
Please politely tell the hotel front desk about the issues you are having with your room, as they might be able to help you resolve these. If, for example, your room is too hot, you could get a key to open a window; if it's too cold, the hotel might have heaters you can borrow. If you feel like someone else should handle this matter for you, ask someone from NFC staff and crew nicely.
Try to keep all your trash in one place. Maybe get a large trash bag and place it all in there, as this will make it easier for them and you will get a clean room.
If you cannot find the answer you seek here (or on the other pages linked at the top of this page), or if anything is unclear, please contact registration support.

Conbook FAQ

All submissions should reflect the convention's theme, which this year is: “Cirque du Nord”.
Submissions do not have to feature Mausie or Iris, it can be your own fursona or a friend’s.
You can draw them any way you like, using Mausie’s reference sheet and Iris’ reference sheet.
Yes, with some caveats. For photographs, we ask that it is a photo that you have taken yourself and the subject in the photo has given consent for the photo to be used. For stories, it is limited to short stories with a maximum of 1,200 word count.
Yes, please do!
Check the Conbook Submission page for up-to-date information about the deadline.
Nope! While we certainly would love for you to attend, it's not a prerequisite for contributing to the conbook.
We do not accept outright erotic art. Tasteful nudity might be accepted. Send us an e-mail to conbook@nordicfuzzcon.org if you are unsure about a particular piece of art.
Playful cartoon violence is fine, but more graphic and realistic gore is not.
Yes, and other departments will be happy too! We also share the submissions we receive to be available for other departments to use.
Yes, you can post your work! You don’t have to wait till the convention starts, let people know that you are contributing to the convention.
There are a number of factors which decide what we end up using, such as: the quality of your submission, how well it fits with the convention's theme, our layout needs, how soon we get your art (the sooner the better), and how many other artists have submitted. Even if it doesn’t make it to the conbook, we share them to other departments who would love to be able to feature your art!
The conbook will be in a state of flux up until a few weeks before the convention, so we can't give any exact date on when we know for certain whether or not a piece will be used.
Please send them to conbook@nordicfuzzcon.org and we will get back to you as soon as we're able.

Dealers Den FAQ

The Dealers’ Den is a space intended for registered artists and sellers of furry related merchandise and crafts, to display, sell and offer their goods and services to the convention attendees.
To apply for the Dealers’ Den please fill out the official application form which can be found on the website. Do note the application form closes August 9th 2025 at midnight.
The Dealers’ Den opening hours are 12:00 - 18:00 Thursday, Friday and Saturday for attendees. Dealers and their assistants will be granted access to the Den 1 hour before Den opening.
No, only paying convention attendees have access to the Dealers’ Den.
Yes, each approved Dealership gets up to 2 dedicated helper badges.
You can only set up your display on your table itself. You cannot encroach or lean into or over your neighbor’s space. If there is sufficient space behind you for a backdrop, you may use one, but there must be adequate room for your fellow dealers to exit safely behind you. Dealers Den staff may ask you to remove your backdrop if they don’t feel there is enough space.

Please ask Dealers’ Den staff first if you want to set up anything beside your table. The answer for the majority of tables is that this is not allowed (and items cannot be left beside your table during setup or teardown to ensure adequate safety exits at all times); However, in a handful of cases, we may have enough space for you to safely build a larger or different setup. We strongly encourage you to email us at dealers.den@nordicfuzzcon.org in advance with your ideas and we can discuss what will work or not.
No, but you can take a break whenever you like. Furthermore you can buy food at the restaurant located just next to the Dealers’ Den.
No. Per legal regulation, this is not possible.
No. Per legal regulation, this is not possible.
If the Dealers' Den spots are full but your application has been accepted, you will be put on the waiting list. Sometimes people will need to cancel their table, and their slot will be moved to the next person waiting. In that case, we will contact you with further information.
No. To keep it fair to everyone, please email us at dealersden@nordicfuzzcon.org to have your spot moved to the next available person on the waiting list. This way, we ensure everyone gets a fair chance at joining.
In the Dealers’ Den, we will provide power outlets to all dealers to the extent it is possible.
We try our best to make it work for everyone. If both you and your friend(s) have a confirmed Den spot, please contact us at dealersden@nordicfuzzcon.org. We cannot guarantee to place you next to each other, but we will certainly try, especially if your request arrives early.
Please email us at dealersden@nordicfuzzcon.org and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Artist Alley FAQ

The Artist Alley at NordicFuzzCon is a place for artists and crafters to create and sell original works on-site. If you’re looking for a new badge, a sketch of your character, or something else made just for you, the Artist Alley is the place to be!
The 2026 Artist Alley will be in the Clarion in room CA6 next to the Cube.
The exact dates and times of the Artist Alley are still being determined. Please follow NFC’s social media accounts and visit the Schedule page for updates.
The Artist Alley will have a morning and afternoon session. If you get a table in the morning, you may optionally choose to remain at your table for the afternoon.
Tables are first come, first serve. Please do not arrive to queue for a table more than 1 hour before the opening of the Artist Alley session you wish to join.
Please check in with staff to be assigned a table. We will record your badge and table number for the session(s) you wish to join.
Yes. If you get a table, you may optionally split your table in half with one (1) other artist. The artist you share your table with must also check in with staff at the beginning of the session to record their badge and your shared table number.
Please queue together if you plan to split a table.
No. If you get a table, you’re expected to host it for the entire session(s) you wish to participate in. Please keep any breaks from hosting your table to under 30 minutes.
If you are absent for more than 30 minutes, your table may be considered abandoned. Abandoned tables may be cleared and given to any waiting artists, and might result in you being barred from participating in the Artist Alley.
If splitting a table, one artist or the other must be present during the entire session (basically, we don’t want empty tables if we can avoid them!).
If you have an emergency, please let staff know! We want to help you out, and will be understanding if something unexpected happens and you really need to leave early.
The focus of the Artist Alley is on artwork and crafts made during the convention. It’s the perfect place to sell commissions such as sketches and badges.
You are welcome to decide what type of commissions you’d like to sell, how many to sell, and if you want to take any work home with you to complete later.
You may also optionally sell small items from the list at Artist Alley Webpage Info 2026. Items not on this list might not be sold at your Artist Alley table. Check with Artist Alley staff if unsure.
If you create or sell NSFW items, please cover these in an appropriately labeled binder or other covering. In the spirit of good taste, more explicit regions must be covered by tape or small stickers (even when otherwise enclosed in a binder). NSFW items and any binders containing them must be completely removed from your table during NFC’s Open House on Friday. Items with “curse” words or violence must also be removed during the Open House on Friday.
Tables are 120 x 45 cm. If you get a table, you are entitled to use the full table for the session(s) you choose to participate in. You may optionally split your table in half to share with another artist.
Yes! You may bring your own table cloth, runner or banner, faux leaves, non-blinking fairy lights, and other little things to decorate your table. You MUST be able to clear your table and all decorations within 10 minutes.
You cannot have anything at your table that exceeds your table space or bothers your neighbors or attendees (no loud music or sounds, flashing lights, or odours).
Any displays (such as frames to display art/stickers for sale) cannot exceed 40 centimetres above the table. Please limit the use of grid cubes/shelves to one single cube for displaying your art or small merchandise.
You are responsible for keeping your space clean. If your table is left cluttered or dirty after your session, you may be barred from participating in the Artist Alley again.
Drinks purchased from the hotel, or a water bottle you bring yourself, are allowed. All drinks MUST have a cap that fully closes. Please immediately alert staff for any spills.

Open House FAQ

All are welcome! There is no age limit, but persons below 15 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian; no exceptions.
Entry to the venue during Open House is free. However, food and drinks consumed in the Maid Café, as well as admittance to the Charity Concert will require a small payment.
Bring a big smile and an open mind! :-)
The Open House takes place in Clarion Hotel Malmö Live next to Malmö Central Station. The exact date and time are available at the open house page.
Absolutely, we love photos! However, please respect others around you that might not want to be photographed. Additionally, photography is prohibited inside the fursuit lounge and breach of this policy may result in your removal from the event.
The hug is the furry version of the handshake! Most animals love hugs, but you have to ask them first. Get their attention, spread your arms wide to invite an embrace, and hope that they take you up on your offer. Be aware that the costumes afford very limited vision and that many performers do not speak while in costume (talking animals?!). If an animal fails to react, they might not have seen or heard you, so try again!
Definitely. If you want to be in a picture, just ask a bystander to snap it for you. Let the animal know once you have gotten your photo, since it’s hard for them to notice otherwise.
Our animal costumes – known as fursuits – are expensive, fragile, and difficult to repair! Please be considerate of our attendees (like with your pets at home), and treat them like you yourself would want to be treated.
In particular:
  • Do not pull on tails, scratch the fur or stroke it against the grain, or pet a fursuit with dirty hands.
  • Do not carry food or drinks when interacting with fursuiters.
  • Do not ambush or pounce any fursuiter. Remember that they have significantly limited hearing and vision.
  • Do not destroy or vandalise anything. A fursuit is a handmade, personal piece of art that can cost over 30,000 SEK to build.
  • Please also respect that certain areas are off limits to open house guests.
Be nice, and you will be rewarded with lots of hugs and plenty of fun pictures!
No. Not all furries have or want a costume. Some furries release their creative urges through art, writing, or music. Some like to entertain in costume, while others simply like to hang out with friendly people in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Many prefer a mix of activities. Furries are diverse – just like ordinary people!

The Creative Exposé FAQ

The Creative Exposé is a gallery that allows creators in the furry fandom to display their works at the convention.
Art is a broad category, and includes, but is not limited to, paintings and drawings (both digital and traditional), sculpture, textiles, jewellery and photography. If you’re unsure whether or not your work qualifies for the Exposé, feel free to ask!
Art displayed may be available for sale, but this will be directly between the creator/artist and the buyer without any involvement of NordicFuzzCon. For more information look for the detail card next to each work.
You sign up by filling out the submission form on the sign-up page.

Our Team will contact you shorter with further information.
All items must be appropriate for a general audience (PG-13). As a guideline, if an item is deemed acceptable for sale in the Dealers’ Den, it is also suitable for the Creative Exposé.
Photography may be split into multiple categories, such as Film (any format), Instant photographs (Instax, Polaroid, etc.), Digital, and ‘Shopped (Digital images where the original image has been heavily edited in software).
Images or texts that are either solely or partially generated by AI are not allowed. This includes assistive use of Artificial Intelligence technology e.g. for creating backgrounds.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are not allowed.
Art containing characters, icons, etc. which are protected by copyright and/or trademark laws are not allowed.
This depends on the number of creators signing up and what kind of space they require; hanging or standing.
The works displayed are chosen solely at the discretion of the Creative Exposé team. Decisions on which works are shown are final.
There are various reasons for the change from Art Show to Creative Exposé and for removing the Art Auction. The main reason for introducing the Creative Exposé was to have more inclusivity by allowing all forms of art, such as allowing for the display of photos taken during the convention itself.

Suites FAQ

There are three suites: Mausie Suite (2 persons, Clarion Hotel Malmö Live), Iris Suite (4 persons, Clarion Hotel Malmö Live) and Esplanade Suite (2 persons, Elite Hotel Esplanade).

For prices, please take a look at our Pricing or Hotels pages!
Suites cannot be booked directly like other hotel rooms. If you are interested in a suite, you need to enter our suite lottery, which will take place after registration has opened.
You can only enter the lottery if you have a fully paid registration for NordicFuzzCon. This means you must at least have bought a regular convention ticket and have received a badge number, which only happens once you have paid. Then, as soon as the lottery opens, there will be a short form on your registration page which you need to fill in and submit.
The dates for entering the suit lottery will be announced at a later date and on our social media spaces.

You can enter the lottery directly on your registration page as soon as you have made a payment and received a badge number.

On your registration page, you will find a section called “Suite Lottery.” There, you need to select which suite you want to apply for and then click the “Participate” button.

You can change your selected suite (and also withdraw your entry) at any time as long as the lottery is open.
The winners will be announced at a later date and also contacted by our registration team. More details will be included together with the announcement of the suit lottery on our social media spaces.
As with every other hotel room, you will have to pay the entire amount yourself. If you want your roommates to pay their share, you’ll have to handle this among yourselves.
If you will be drawn as a winner, you will receive an email shortly afterwards. As soon as that email is sent out, you will have 7 days to pay the entire amount. If the payment does not arrive within that time, a new winner will be drawn by us.
If you have booked a room through NordicFuzzCon and happen to win a suite, we will take back your “old” room (including any extra days) and give you the suite instead. No money will be returned though, so you only have to pay the difference between what you have already paid for your regular room and what the suite costs.
Again, as with all the rooms, you can determine yourself who’s going to join you in your suite. After winning and paying for the suite, you will be able to add your desired roommates on your booking page. As always, your roommates have to be registered and fully paid attendees of NordicFuzzCon.
Just as with all the other rooms, you can only add people to your room share if they didn’t book a room themselves. If someone wants to join your suite but already has a room, their only option is to sell their entire registration, including their room, to somebody else and then make a new registration with only a con ticket.

Please be aware that we will only take back the rooms of suite lottery winners, but NOT from their roommates!
Yes, every attendee who has got a fully paid registration can enter, so you can increase your odds when both you and your roommate(s) enter!
No, you can only enter the lottery for one of the three suites. On the entry form, you will have to choose for which suite you want to enter the lottery. You can, however, always go back to the form on your registration page and change your choice until the lottery closes.
Booking the main convention days (4 nights) will be mandatory. Beyond that, you can also add extra days (Monday and Tuesday before, as well as Sunday after the main convention days).

You do not need to decide which extra days you want at the time of entering the lottery. We will only ask for this once you have actually won a suite. These extra days can also be added to your booking at a later point.
Yes, when you give back your regular room, it does not matter for which extra days you had booked it. In other words, we will take back your “old” room , regardless of whether you want to book the suite for the same, or a shorter or longer period.
As with the regular rooms, if you want to stay in a different room/hotel for the extra days, you will have to book those by yourself directly with the hotel. It will not be possible to book different rooms for different days through NordicFuzzCon.
The same rules apply as for any other room. We are not doing refunds in general, but you can always sell and transfer your entire registration to another person.
As long as you haven’t paid the suite, you can always cancel your lottery entry. In this case, please contact us as soon as possible, and we will draw a new winner. However, as soon as you have paid the suite, we will not take it back nor do any refunds. Nonetheless, you can, of course, always sell and transfer your booking to another person though.

In general, though: Please do not enter the lottery if you don’t have the money for paying for a suite!
