All original art and hand-colored/altered prints are acceptable for auction. Single copies of original prints can go to auction as long as no duplicates are present in the Print Shop. Two bids are required to send a piece to auction, but if time permits, we have been known to include a piece with two or no bids. Pieces with one bid will go to that bidder, so consider that when determining your minimum bid.
Particulars:
Print Shop artwork is encouraged and accepted, but their sale will be handled as QSP (Quick Sale Price).
Quick sale prices (QSP) and after auction prices (AAP) may be put on art (at artist's option) to allow purchase before or after the auction.
Artwork displayed may be NOT FOR SALE (NFS). One of our major purposes is to display good artwork.
If a print of a piece of art is available in the print shop, it must be noted on the bid sheet. The art show recognizes a hand-colored/altered print as an original work of art.
A NOTE TO ARTISTS: Any art is acceptable, but please keep in mind REVELcon is known for buddy/ partnership/relationship media fandom and this is what many attendees are looking for in artwork.
