Les tables artisans sont (déjà!) toutes réservées!
Il s’agit sans aucun doute d’un temps record. Si vous n’avez pu réserver une table à temps, sachez qu’il existe une liste d’attente au cas où certains tables se libéreraient.
Merci beaucoup de votre intérêt pour notre événement; nous en sommes stupéfaits!
Artists tables have (already!) all been taken!
You guys have most likely set a new record for how fast they vanished! If you were unable to book a space in time, take note that we’ve set up a waiting list in case some tables freed themselves.
Thank you so very much for your interest in our event; it’s simply stunning!
Reservations are now open for the Dealers Room!

Drawing contest for our promotional poster, and date at which reservations for the Dealers’ Room will open!
Following last year’s success, we decided to reiterate the drawing contest for our promotional poster for Nadeshicon 2017! The requirements remain fairly the same, with the exception of this edition’s theme. Thus, your drawing will need the following :
- To star our two mascots, Nadeshiko and Saito.
- To have one of the two characters wear a traditional japanese outfit, with the other wearing something more modern.
- To follow the theme of luck, due to the fact that the year will end in 7.
- To be suitable for a general audience.
- To represent japanese culture well, since it is the main focus of our convention!
Of course, when talking about a contest, one has to mention the rewards. Unlike last year however, two winners will be selected, instead of one, although only the grand winner’s art will be used. As such, the second place winner will receive :
- One (1) table in our Dealers’ Room, or $50, to their discretion.
The first place winner will be granted :
- $50.
- Two (2) tables in our Dealers’ Room, each tradeable for $50 instead, to their discretion.
The art of the grand winner will be used for promotional purposes, such as the poster and t-shirts, for which no additional royalties will be awarded. However, as per its uses, it is a great opportunity for visibility, so don’t forget to sign your art! So it can be used for thoses purposes, we also require the grand winner to submit us a high-res, colored version, a PDF version, as well as a vectorial, black/white lineart version for the t-shirts, if possible. Since the poster will be in 11×17 format, please make sure the resolution of your drawing is in an adequate resolution.
You may find some of our previous posters and promotional pictures here, which may serve as both references and inspiration.
You have until December 1st 2016 to submit your art at [email protected]
Also, in other news, reservations for the Dealers’ Room for Nadeshicon 2017 will open on November 1st for merchants and artists alike, at which date the forms will be uploaded to our website. Don’t miss it, because those tables will be gone pretty quickly!
Best of luck to everyone!
Interdiction des répliques d’armes lors de la Foire Geek
Nous souhaitons vous aviser que, de part le règlement de l’Université Laval, toute réplique d’arme est interdite sur le terrain de l’université, ce qui inclut le Grand Salon où se tiendra la Foire le 8 octobre prochain.
Contrairement au Festival Nadeshicon lors duquel une permission spéciale nous est accordée, toute arme factice, peu importe son matériel et sa couleur, est inadmissible sur les lieux. Cette règle s’applique tant aux cosplays qu’aux personnes qui souhaiteraient vendre de tels articles.
Sur une note plus joyeuse, n’oubliez pas qu’il ne reste que 36 heures en date de cette publication pour participer au concours pour Distant Worlds: Montréal. Si vous n’avez pas encore participé, vous pourrez trouver le post en visitant notre page Facebook!
Weapon props won’t be allowed during Foire Geek
We wish to inform you that, per Université Laval’s rules, all weapon props are prohibited from the university’s grounds, which includes the Grand Salon, where Foire Geek will be held on October 8th.
Unlike Festival Nadeshicon itself, during which the university grants us a special permission for such props, all weapon replicas, no matter its material or color, are strictly forbidden. This rule applies to both cosplayers and vendors alike.
On a happier note, there are only 36 hours left as of the publication of this post for you to participate in our giveaway for Distant Worlds: Montreal. If you haven’t already, you may find the post concerning it by visiting our Facebook page!
