Zinemakers travel all around NZ visiting Zinefests in every major town and city. We are stoked to be able to host our 2nd Zinefest here in beautiful Whakatū Nelson.
There’s key info below for those of you who are sharing your time, space and amazing work with us this year:

Stall Details & Requirements
Stall Space – Each stall holder will receive a full table space (240cm x 60cm), which you're welcome to share with a friend. There are 20 tables in total, and spaces will be allocated on the day.
Venue – The event will be held at Founders Heritage Park, a lovely, welcoming and fully accessible venue.
Setup & Pack Down – Please arrive for setup at 9am sharp. You'll be provided with your table and one or two chairs, which you can collect during setup. Pack down is at 4pm, when we ask that you return your chairs.
Your Table – You're responsible for decorating your own table. Please be considerate of your neighbours and keep your display within your own space.
Sales – You'll manage your own sales on the day. Not everyone brings cash (even though we'll remind them!), so please clearly display your bank details and bring a small cash float for change.
Zine Content Rule – The only requirement for having a stall is that your stock must be primarily zines! At least 70% of your table must be zines, while the remaining 30% can be prints, stickers and other DIY items.
