I ordered an Early Bird ticket and shirt package. When is that supposed to arrive?

We are mailing Early Bird tickets and shirts the first week of March. You will receive a shipping confirmation email from Arkham Bazaar with the USPS tracking number for your package. If you have not received a shipping confirmation email by March 10th, please check your spam folders, and then contact us if you still don’t have anything.

How do I become a guest?

If you are interested in presenting a topic, panel discussion, reading, or workshop, please fill out the Participant Application form before March 15th (The sooner you submit your information, the sooner we can start establishing programming!)

How can I be in the Art Show?

If you are interested in participating in our Artist Alley, Art Show, or Pickman’s Apprentice competition, please fill out the Participant Application  Form before March 15th.

How do I sign up to compete in Pickman's Apprentice?

Pickman’s Apprentice is a quick draw competition that pits artists against each other. With 90 minutes to create a finished piece, based on a Lovecraftian beast or deity, and a random location, it is a fast paced, oft-times brain bending exercise. The audience votes and decides the winner for each round. The winners will then face off in a final round to decide who takes home the fame and glory of being Pickman’s Apprentice. Still interested? Please fill out the Participant Application form before March 15th.

What is CthulhuCon PDX? Does it have anything to do with the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival?

CthulhuCon PDX is brought to you by the same organizers as the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival. It is an offshoot of the Film Festival, intended to bring together authors, artists, designers, and fans for an intimate weekend of games, panels, readings, workshops, and a few films.
