About the application
Interested in being a guest at QCAC 2026? Please complete all required fields and we will be in touch!
We're thrilled that you are interested in joining us for Queen City Anime Con 2026!
Performers: Performance arts have always been an integral part of QCAC and remain at the heart of what we're trying to bring to our community. If your type of performance art isn't typical at anime conventions, please don't let that deter you from applying, because we're not your typical anime convention. Musical acts, dancing, aerial acts, drag, burlesque, Improv, etc....we want to see what you've got!
Please note, because we get so many applications, providing detailed information in your initial submission is really important. The more specifics you include, the better we can understand your work and make a decision.
We have both daytime and late night (18+) events and performances every year. If your performance(s) would be 18+ please make sure to read the information below:
QCAC After Dark is our 18+ adult oriented variety show hosted by Queen City Anime Convention. These acts usually include drag, burlesque, aerial acts, etc. While these acts are adult oriented in nature, performers must comply with all local blue laws. If you have any questions about whether your act or attire is permissible please contact us at: programming@queencityanimecon.org
Performers are permitted to accept cash and contactless tips. QCAC staff will do our best to aid in promoting tipping options to attendees of QCAC After Dark. Queen City Anime Con is operated by volunteers.
