San Diego Zine Fest Policy

AGREED. The San Diego Zine Fest is a collectively shared space wherein all peoples involved are respected. San Diego Zine Fest will not host zines or people that promote racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other form of discrimination.

Safety First Policy

AGREED. Participants are responsible for their own conduct and personal well-being during the event. Registrants accompanied by attendees are responsible for their attendees' conduct.

80/20 Zine/Merch Policy

AGREED. Our core mission is to create a zine-focused platform. We ask exhibitors to maintain an 80/20 balance: at least 80% zines, with a 20% exception for items that "co-zine" with them (like stickers, patches, buttons, or fun freebies). We choose not to spend our weekend policing tables and fully trust our community to respect this policy!

Zine Cover Photo

Please upload a zine cover photo to complete your application. Black & white and/or color photos are acceptable. We just need a visual idea of your work.
