MomoCon 2027

Wonder Festival US 2027 will take place May 27-30, 2027 at Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta, Georgia as part of MomoCon.

This is the only creator application. There is no separate original-work application and no separate licensing application.

Use this application if you are an independent creator, creator collective, or small creator-owned studio. You may apply with original or self-owned work, public-domain work, work covered by a direct written license you already hold, products that may need a Wonder Festival US one-event license, or a combination of these categories.

Early in the application, you will be asked whether any product requires Wonder Festival US to contact a rights holder. Read the choices carefully:

Choose “No” only if every product is original or self-owned, based on public-domain material, or covered by written commercial permission that you already hold and can document.

Choose “Yes or I am not sure” if any product uses a character, title, logo, costume, design, or other intellectual property you do not own and do not already have written permission to display or sell at Wonder Festival US 2027. This answer will reveal the one-event licensing section.

Display-only fan work may still require permission. Approval at a previous event, permission for a different product, fan-made status, or seeing similar products sold elsewhere does not automatically authorize your product at Wonder Festival US 2027. If you are uncertain, choose “Yes or I am not sure” so WFUS can review the request with you.

What happens if the licensing section appears:

• You will answer a short set of licensing and fallback questions.
• You will complete one application for each separately sold or displayed product.
• WFUS will review each request for completeness and determine whether a rights-holder review path is available.
• The relevant rights holder, not WFUS, makes the final product decision.

An approved one-event license is limited to the approved product, character or title, price, quantity, use, event, location, and written conditions. For WFUS 2027, the event period is all four public event days, May 27-30, 2027. It is not a general commercial license and does not authorize online sales, pre-event sales, post-event sales, additional production, or use at another event unless the approval expressly says otherwise.

Booth acceptance and product-license approval are separate decisions. Do not begin commercial production based on application submission, completeness review, or an initial availability response. Approval is not guaranteed, and a rights holder may require royalties or fees, quantity limits, samples, copyright credits, seals, packaging changes, sales reporting, or other conditions.

Wonder Festival US centers sculptors, garage-kit makers, figure painters, modelers, toy and sofubi creators, doll and action-figure customizers, miniature artists, and other creators working primarily in three dimensions. First-time exhibitors are welcome.

Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance or a particular location. Space, pricing, payment dates, included furnishings, parking and freight guidance, the licensing fallback policy, and shared-booth rules will be published before payment.

Creator application deadline: March 1st 2027

One Event License Request Submission Deadline: January 20th, 2027

Initial license progress updates within 60 days of application if not earlier

Wonder Festival US 2027 will take place May 27-30, 2027 at Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta, Georgia as part of MomoCon.

MomoCon welcomed 67,277 unique attendees and more than 180,000 turnstile visits in 2026.

Use this application if you are applying on behalf of an IP owner or licensor, manufacturer, publisher or studio, authorized distributor or retailer, tools or materials supplier, or another company aligned with figure, model, toy, garage-kit, doll, miniature, or three-dimensional creator culture.

This application is not for independent creators. Independent creators should use the Independent Creator Application, which includes conditional one-event licensing questions when needed.

Submitting this application does not guarantee acceptance, a particular location, a particular booth configuration, or sponsorship benefits.

 Applicants must be authorized to display and sell every brand and product listed.
