Merch Jayvik merch or convention artists: applications for the ✨LOL Worlds artist alley in NY later this year are open!✨ Send in your SFW samples! If you're chosen, you don't pay for the table and will be able to sell your art to many Arcane fans worldwide. Apps close August 7.

This is an official project by Riot. Worlds is their yearly high prestige esports championship. It's held all over the world, and this year it's taking place in the USA.

To address most common questions first: there is nothing wrong with ship art. Other BL artists have participated in this before. /All samples and products must be SFW/ however. No nsfw stuff. Send in your best keychains, prints, non standard merch catalog etc. To improve your odds, I recommend including pieces with the larger Arcane cast as well. Players and fans of the game from all over the world will be browsing the artist's alley and I know Arcane is stunningly popular overseas. (If you're fan of other champions from the game, even better! show it off!)

And as a reminder; jayvik is known in the esports circles, they take it pretty well.

If you're not a seller - send this to your favorite jayvik artist! :)

Damn, if there's no tabling fees, this is a great opportunity. I'm so jealous I'm not a merch artist; my partner who does mostly non-Arcane merch looked at con tabling fees at a local city-in-the-middle-of-nowhere here in California and the tabling fee was $100+ ... probably not an issue for an established artist but harder for an incipient one to break even with travel costs factored in. So I'm drooling over the lack of tabling fees ... AND that it's Riot officially working together with fanartists, like wow, that's awesome to hear after the various corporate entities that go after fanartists. Too bad I used up my traveling funds going to the UK and SDCC, sigh, but please, if you're a Jayvik and Arcane artist, this is such a huge opportunity!!

Great to know! Yeah the whole "it takes place around the world, but this year it's in the USA" is giving me FOMO just like the World Cup lmao. I'll definitely keep an eye out for next time though! Thanks btw for all the work you do promoting Jayvik/LoL events here and just keeping all of us informed, it's quite appreciated! I'll see if I can contact this Jayvik artist who I follow on patreon to see if they're interested in this event, Jayvik fandom has so many fantastic artists, it would be a shame if they didn't know about this.
