We are Zotcon At UCI: An Anime Convention Club originating at the University of California, Irvine. ZotCon 2023 will be held on Sunday, May 21, 2023 lasting from 10:00 AM to 6:00PM. With the convention, we aim to facilitate a platform for UCI students and the community to express their interests in areas of anime, manga, comics, gaming, and Japanese culture.
Due to difficulties with the format of the artist alley for ZotCon 2022, the artist alley for ZotCon 2023 will be organized as an exhibitor hall. Artists will be encouraged to create a preorder form for their goods and set up pick-ups from their artist alley table. Formal monetary exchange at the convention will not be permitted by UCI.
If you are interested in participating as an artist for artist alley to showcase your works at our convention, we would like to invite you to fill out our form. We are currently charging $30 for a full 6 ft. table for the whole con. This tabling fee is used for ZotCon expenses as a UCI student club. Reservations are generally on a first reply basis. Application will be a two-step process. Once spots for artist alley fill up, we will send applicants the necessary forms including payment info, and additional information needed to complete the application process.
For specific questions regarding registration, please feel free to contact either Artist Alley Coordinators: Mando Eijansantos at
