Chizu Con 2026

Featured Photographers Rules & Guidelines

Failure to follow the guidelines stated on this page may result in removal from future applications.​​

​​

• Chizu Con 2026 is open to attendees from 10am-10pm September 19th at the Goodman Center Ironworks and Brassworks.
   

• Approved Applicants agree to offer free and/or discounted photoshoots to Chizu Con attendees with badges for 2026. The type of discount you can provide can be detailed in your application.
  
  (IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE A FEATURED PHOTOGRAPHER BUT STILL WANT TO HAVE PRIVATE BOOKINGS AT CHIZU: You are welcome to purchase a regular attendee badge as we do not have specific press or photographer badges at this time. Chizu is not obligated to promote the attendance of any non-featured photographers.)
   

• Proxy/Agented, "sublets", swaps or sharing of photoshoot bookings must be approved by Chizu Con before Saturday, July 25th. If you cannot attend, provide contact to a Photographer that is equivalent or similar to your own work. Providing an equivalent will help Chizu maintain a mix of styles and talents. No Shows will not be considered for future events.
   

• Approval includes a VIP Badge, a compt meal, hotel room if needed (shared), and access to the staff/VIP area ( Mezzanine above Registration).
   

• Photo themes must align with Chizu Con's family friendly atmosphere. Adult themed or potentially dangerous items such as boudoir, alcohol,  flame displays, etc., are prohibited from the event property. All photoshoot operations must follow state and federal laws.
   

• Live metals and realistic weaponry, such as steel swords and military gear, are not allowed at the Goodman Center. Fantasy gear and foam are welcome. Please take all bookings with restricted items off of the Goodman property for your shoots.
  ​

• Applications submitted after the closing date will not be considered.​​
