1. CHROMACON

CHROMACON operates as a cash-and-carry exhibition – artworks and other items are removed from the venue as it is sold (except for items which cannot be moved easily or in a case where the buyer and exhibitor comes to an agreement to remove works at end of day).

CHROMACON is not responsible for any copyright and/or trademark infringements made by registered exhibitors. Any legal action that may result from copyright and/or trademark infringement is the sole responsibility of the exhibitor.

CHROMACON reserves the right to full curatorial control of exhibition and will remove items from the event at their discretion if a case of copyright and/or trademark infringement is suspected.

Exhibitors are not permitted to sell trademarked, or commercially available products unless they have received the express permission of the proper rights holders or these products are their own intellectual property.

2. EXHIBITORS

Parents of exhibitors under the age of 16 must give their consent upon registration and also accompany the exhibitor on the day of the event.

Whilst CHROMACON has a strong stance against censorship of artworks, if exhibitors do plan on exhibiting artworks featuring mature themes, they should notify event staff upon registration or at any time prior to the event.

All artwork must be the exhibitor’s own and not a copy of someone else’s.

Exhibitors displaying/ selling artworks based on heavily on another piece (i.e. photograph as reference) must first obtain permission from the copyright owner of the source work.Exhibitors curate their own booth space; however CHROMACON reserves the right to intervene at any time during the event.

All artwork must be ready to hang or, if 3D, pieces need to be ready to install. If the piece is heavy or needs assembly it is the exhibitor’s responsibility to install.

All artwork must be labelled correctly.

All display panel-hung pieces must be easy to remove from the panel – if a piece requires direct attachment to the panel it will not be exhibited.

All display panel-hung pieces must not exceed more than 1.5m x 1.5m in measurement and 15kg per panel.

There is no limit on the number of artworks exhibitors may exhibit, however, artwork must be able to fit within your allocated booth space.

Exhibitors are responsible for all financial transactions made at their own respective booths.

CHROMACON is not responsible for any travel or accommodation costs incurred for exhibitors residing outside of Auckland.

Exhibitors may set up their booths at Friday on 31st May 2019 and be packed up by 7.00PM 2nd June 2019 (2 hours post event).

3. BOOTH SPACE ALLOCATION

CHROMACON will do our utmost to ensure that all exhibitors are allocated a reasonable space that will receive favourable public exposure. Exhibitors have an opportunity to select booth location of their choosing up on registration as part of a first come first serve process. CHROMACON reserves the right of final decision for exhibition booth allocation.

4. PUBLICITY

Exhibitors accepted for CHROMACON 2019 acknowledge that images submitted to CHROMACON as part of an application may be used as part of publicity for the show in the following manner: promotional brochures and posters, newspaper articles and advertising, website articles and marketing, CHROMACON newsletters, CHROMACON Facebook page, CHROMACON Twitter page, CHROMACON website, YouTube channel, CHROMACON Show Guide, any video shot during the event and end of year report. As this publicity forms part of the marketing strategy for CHROMACON, exhibitors will not receive remuneration for the use of their images.

7. INSURANCE

8. PRICING

Exhibitors will be responsible for the pricing of their own works.

Even though CHROMACON does not have an official price range, we recommend exhibitors keep prices at an affordable yet professional range.

Whilst we welcome all prices, anything priced from $500 upwards will be scrutinized closely.
