applicants for paf26
Vendor, Staff/Volunteer, and Presenter/Performer Applicants
If You Have Applied:
You can confirm that we received your submission if a copy of your application was sent to your inbox. If you don’t see it, search for the title of the application form as it may have landed in your spam or junk folder depending on your email settings.
Vendor and Body Modification Artist Applicants
Vendor registration is now open!
Our vendor coordinator will email you with a vendor password and registration instructions after we’ve approved your vendor application.
Staff, Presenter, and Performer Applicants
Thank you for your patience. Acceptance, wait-list, and declination letters will be sent to the email address you applied with as soon as possible. If we wait-list your application, that means it has been approved, but we need additional registrant data (such as attendance numbers or scheduling needs) before finalizing your placement.
We’ll contact you using the email you provided to let you know whether your application has been approved, declined, or wait-listed. We do our best to reply as quickly as possible, but there isn’t a set timeline for responses. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and we understand that waiting for an answer can be uncomfortable.
If your application is ultimately declined, you will still be offered the rate that was available at the time you applied.
For example: if you applied in September and your application is declined later, you would still be eligible for the presale rate.
If you decide to register before hearing back about your application, we’ll take that as your choice to withdraw your application and attend as a regular participant. That’s completely fine. We understand that people’s plans change! It’s helpful (though not required) to drop us a quick note if you do withdraw.
We’ve received a huge number of amazing and thoughtful class submissions, and it’s taking some time to go through them all. As with staff, letters will be sent to the email you used to apply once we’ve completed the review process.
Volunteer Applicants
You can register for the event at any time. We’ll follow up about your volunteer application after you’ve registered.
Returning Applicants
If you participated in any of the above groups last year (as a vendor, staff member, volunteer, performer, or presenter), you’ll still need to submit a new application for 2026 to be considered. Visit the page linked below for all current application forms.
