NIF is an online-only festival that any comic artist around the world can take part in! This intitiative is run by members of the Cartoonist Cooperative, and applications are open to current members of the Cartoonist Cooperative with at least a 3+ month membership. Current members will have received an email with the vendor application links. Submissions for the 2025 marketplace are now closed!
You can learn more about us and get all of the benefits of being a member yourself here! We understand this may be disheartening to some artists, but as a volunteer run organization of working artists, we want to make sure the labor our team is putting in primarily benefits our member cartoonists first and foremost.
Submissions for 2025 programming are now closed!
As part of our submission requirements, we require that at least one Cartoonist Cooperative member be included as part of the programming request, if the person submitting isn't already a member. Our events team is happy to provide assistance with matching co-op members with submissions, if approved.
