Online Application Window (3 weeks):

Friday June 19th, 2026 (10:00am PST) through July 10th, 2026

​

Due to our growing demand our online application process will no longer be First Come First Served. For 2027 we will continue to utilize a juried system so we can bring a well balanced show floor that equally represents all fandoms, creators and businesses. We are not continuing this process to purge our show floor. We want to celebrate everything that makes “Pop Culture” great. Click the Online Application Link to read more how our process will work. Thank you. 

​

What happens after the portal closes on July 11th, 2026?

All applicants that apply by July 10th will be notified via email by August 7th, 2026 regarding your status for 2027.​

• Please do not submit a second (or third) application. This will not help your status and only slows down the selection process if we have to weed out duplicate applications. 

• Lilac City Comicon reserves the right reopen our online portal in January 2027 (date tba) depending on our needs. 

• We will also not be adding to our waiting list until January 2027. 

• IF you are placed on our waiting list (in July or January) do not email us asking if space has opened up. We will notify you. 

• ​If you missed getting your name on the waiting list by July 10th, 2026 look for our January dates (tba) when you can add your name to our online list. Do not email us requesting to be added. ​

​

Our Online Application Portal will reopen on January 4th, 2027 through January 17th, 2027 for additional Waitlist.
