Questions and Answers

Komikon 2005 :
many students are sending questionaires for their thesis, and now I think I will be posting some of their questions here online so that whenever they search for a content, the similar questions and also answers will be found here in my blog. Im not part in organizing the Komikon 2006, but I do still help my fellow Artists' Den in answering their questions during the planning period.
so here's one student for his thesis.

my name is mike, a graduating student from UST fine arts. i'm currently doing my thesis which is comic book illustration, and i would like to ask for information regarding the next komikon(komikon 2007) since i recall you're the top guy to ask for events like that...
who are the people/companies that usually have booths set up in the venue?
1.) I organized the 1st Komikon, and that was 2005. I conceptualize the whole event and program, from the system of it and the Komikon Awards, an award that gives recognition to all comic artists here in our country, and since that there is no other award giving body, I created the awards idea with the Artists' Den just for everyone. and hope that it becomes official.

2.) those who attend and participate in Komikon are mostly comic book fans, and also supporters of our local pinoy comics and creators, most of them are artists and writers, and fans.
local comic publishers and foreign comic agencies are also joining the annual event. Collectible and hobby shops also join. same goes to the independent comic publishers.

if i were to reserve a spot/booth for the launching of my comic book, how much would it cost?
3.) to launch your comic book in a convention, all you need to do is
-secure and reserve a booth
-booth rental price can be P2000 or P6000 up (depends on the rental, 6X2 feet table)
-plus you need budget for your comic publishing needs


can i place ads outside the venue?
4.)if you are part as co-presentor or sponsors, you can get a package deal with the organizers for placing an ad outside the venue.

-co-presentors and major sponsors are prioritized first to place ads outside the venue.
but you can hand flyers inside and outside the event.


...can i get a sample of the floor plan of the venue where the komikon will be held,if ever?
5.) during the 2005 Komikon, we provided a layout of the venue with the layout of the booths and exhibit, these are very important in visualizing on what it will look like. If you are a partner, exhibitor, sponsor, or you just want to inquire about the availability of the booths.. and yes you can take a look at it before you decide if you will join or not. exhibitors are informed whenever there are changes in the layout.

hope this one helps...

if you need questions.. just email me..
