Juried selection has been one of the most requested features for Flame Con in years past and thanks to our community rallying and taking part in our all-volunteer non-profit, we are proud to debut it this year.
Thanks to an influx of new volunteers, Flame Con is happy to announce that we are moving to a partially juried exhibitor selection process. For 2026 we will allot roughly half of our tables for first-come-first-serve purchase and half for a juried selection.
