WELCOME TO THE 2025 YOUMACON VENDOR APPLICATION

Youmacon is celebrating its 20th anniversary from October 30th - November 2nd, 2025.  

We are looking for convention vendors, artists, Industry reps, and Sponsors to join us for the festivities.  

Since 2005, Youmacon has welcomed a wide variety of vendors and artists from across North America, offering merchandise from around the world to our ever-growing community of attendees. Now attracting over 20,000 unique visitors annually to downtown Detroit, our goal is to provide fans with the best and most diverse product selection of anime, video game, and pop culture.

To ensure the best shopping experiences, Youmacon features a Juried Dealer’s Room. This means vendors are selected based on the types of merchandise they offer. Our jury process helps us maintain a wide variety of goods, avoiding oversaturation of specific categories—such as Gundam models or Beyblades (just examples!)—and giving all vendors a better opportunity to succeed.
