Welcome to the Afterbark Festival!

Afterbark Festival Market Sign-Up

The NordicFuzzCon Afterbark Festival: Here you can find all the wares and creative works that might not be suitable to sell during the dealer’s den. So come on in and enjoy the festivities, browse and buy goods from your favorite artists and creators.

The Application

To be considered for the NordicFuzzCon 2026 Afterbark Festival Market, you must submit an application. The application is not first-come, first-served, and will be open for two weeks. Please take the time you need to apply correctly.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: You can only submit ONE portfolio link for us to review. We strongly encourage single-page websites or PDFs that show both your merchandise and table setups (if you’ve never been a vendor before, a photo of your setup at home as a demo is fine). Please ensure your portfolio is visible to the public and does NOT require a login. We will not be logged into Instagram, FurAffinity, etc., and we will not have time to browse multiple sub-links and galleries.

Applications will close on October 1st 2025 at 20:00 CEST. We aim to finish curation and send responses to all applicants within three weeks after applications close.

Please be sure to read all the information on this page before submitting your application.

Curation

We curate vendors for the Afterbark - Dealer’s Den based on these factors, which are similar to the Dealer’s Den:

• Correct, On-Time Application: You’ve correctly filled out the application with one portfolio link and submitted the application on time.
• Relevance: We’re looking for furry or furry-adjacent creators and products that appeal to fans of furry, and furry related kinks.
• Quality: Your products should be well-designed and well-produced. We welcome, and encourage, a wide price range in goods for our attendees
• Variety: We’re looking for vendors that appeal to as many interests, needs and kinks of our attendees as possible!

Waitlist

If you qualify for the Dealer’s Den but aren’t offered a table, we will put you on the waiting list. If a spot for you opens up, we will reach out to you via the email you provided in your Afterbark Festival Market application. You will have 2 business days* to respond to us to confirm that you’d like the offered table; If we don’t hear from you before then, we’ll offer the spot to the next person on the list. If you accept the table, you will have 7 business days* to pay for it (after it has been added to your registration).

*This may change: You will be given all the information you need in your email.

Note: NordicFuzzCon 2026 is placing a cap on new registrations after reaching 5500 paid registrations. If you are offered a table from the waitlist after new registrations have already closed, we’ll help with exploring options to help you get a ticket to attend the convention and join our Afterbark Festival Market; However, we cannot guarantee this, and we encourage you to join our convention before registrations close.

Tables

We will only be offering one following table size for the Afterbark Festival Market at NordicFuzzCon 2026.

There is, however, the option to share a table with a partner/friend/neighbour, giving each of you half a table. Please both fill in the form and add each other in the specific neighbour section.

All tables will have about 100cm of space behind the table. You are required to keep exit rows next to and behind your allotted space completely clear. Backdrops (including their legs/bases!) cannot exceed or overhang the max width of your table size.

Paying for Your Table

Once you’ve accepted an offered table for the Afterbark Festival Market, the table fee will be added to your registration. Exact details on how and when to pay will be provided with your acceptance email.

Rules and Accepted Merchandise

All vendors in the Afterbark Festival Market are required to adhere to the regular Dealers’ Den rules with the following exceptions:

• You are allowed to sell explicit materials, such as silicone toys, artworks, clothing etc.
• All items sold need to be able to be transported out of the venue in an opaque bag or container.
• You are not allowed to sell pornographic, or non-furry, explicit material, such as pornographic pictures, videos, etc.

The Afterbark Festival Market staff reserve the right to reject or remove items, or to remove entire vendors and their tables, if they deem it necessary.

Assistants

Each vendor will be given one helper badge that they can assign to any registered attendee. Dealer assistants can enter the Afterbark Festival Market during setup and teardown, and help manage their vendor’s table during open hours.

Hours

An exact schedule, including setup and teardown hours, will be announced later (we encourage you to visit the Schedule page for the latest updates). We plan on having the Afterbark Festival Market open to the public from 20:30 till 01:00.

Power

When requested, we will try our best to provide power to your table.

We strongly encourage all vendors to bring their own lights and batteries to sufficiently illuminate their stands.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel your dealership, reach out to us immediately at jules@nordicfuzzcon.org.

If your table is cancelled, we will offer it to the next available vendor on the waiting list. You cannot request to transfer your table to a friend or a specific person.

We do not offer refunds for paid tables. It may not be possible to transfer your paid table to someone moved off the waitlist.
