Thank you for your interest in Anime Central 2024! Anime Central welcomes all content creators who regularly post original content related to anime & manga to apply for a Membership Badge.
If approved, you will have a Professional Badge, either complimentary or paid (currently, $45/weekend). If you work with a team, please register each team member individually. You will receive a confirmation email for each registration so you know it has been received.
Once processed, you will receive an e-mail confirming your registration and badge type, as well as important information regarding the convention. Please note that each approved outlet member will still be required to pick up their own badge and provide a government-issued ID at point of pickup.
If your request for a Membership Badge is declined, we invite you to attend Anime Central under General Admission. You are not required to have a Press or Professional Membership Badge to create content at the event!
**Please note: prior Membership Badge approval does not guarantee future approvals. Please also be aware that this application does not guarantee approval or a complimentary rate.
Past interaction will be taken into account towards approval/denial of a Membership Badge.
We hope you can join us for Anime Central! If you have any questions, please send an inquiry to
