General
Artist Alley is a place for vendors, artists and publishers to sell prints, crafts, arts and other items marketable to the Furry Fandom.
Sales in the Artist Alley are permitted only to registered attendees and their assistants in their designated space.
Dealer is the single person responsible for the dealership and the authority for questions from the staff. Each dealer (and their assistant) can run only one dealership, with a valid Awoostria registration. Subsequently Vendors, Dealers and Artists are referred to solely as “Dealer(s)”
The Dealer Assistant is a person working in a dealership, supporting the dealer while having the same access and sale privileges as the dealer themselves. Every Dealer can have one assistant at a time, however assistant status can be transferred from one person to another.

Dealership build-ups must not reach into other dealerships or walkways. The Maximum height of displayed merchandise is 80 centimeters above the table, the setup must be secured and stable to prevent it from falling over.
Dealers are required to pack down their stand and merchandise, and clean the area completely at the end of sales from any trash or leftover items belonging to their table. Leaving the area dirty at the end of sales will lead to dealer being potentially blocked from further sales at the Artist Alley.
