Important – if you plan to submit an item to our art show and auction this year, please read on!
As with last year, we’ll be opening pre-registration of art-show and auction submissions. There are a couple of changes this year, so please read on for the full details.
We prefer pre-registration because we have a huge number of submissions each year, and cataloguing all of these takes a long time. We have to do this so we can keep track of sales, and prepare all the information for the auction. Pre-registration speeds up the process dramatically and ensures things run smoothly for you, and auction buyers.
This year, in addition to taking details, you’ll also be able to upload pictures of your items. Digital scans are preferred, but photos of the items are also accepted
The form for pre-registration is here:
http://bit.ly/1fJQeLxIn addition, if you want to have your items delivered to the hotel, you can! You may send your items to arrive up to 48-hours prior to the convention (no sooner!)
To send your items, download the
shipping label here and attach it to your parcel(s). The address of the hotel is on the label. Please also fill in your sender details. You MUST ensure you add the event name of ConFuzzled, the date of the first full convention day (23/5/2014) and enter the room name and stand name as ‘Art Show’.
You should send your items using your preferred parcel service, ConFuzzled recommends you use a service that will track your parcel, and provide insurance. Neither ConFuzzled nor the Birmingham Hilton Metropole can be held liable for any losses.
You can also leave items with the hotel to be returned to you via a courier service if required. You should affix a
returns label available here and attach it to your parcels. You can arrange courier services directly through the hotel, or make your own arrangements. If you make your own arrangements please ensure items are collected quickly – the hotel cannot hold onto items for you and may dispose of items if not collected.
We know that some of you may not fully know exactly what items you’ll be submitting until closer to the convention, and last minute, unregistered items will be accepted at the very end of the Art Submission event before the Art show opens, and any extra space will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Even if you don’t know every item you’ll be submitting, please pre-register as many items as you can.
More details are available on the pre-reg form itself
