Autographs

Autographs Information:

  1. All Autographs are at the Guest’s discretion. Guests have the right to refuse to autograph anything or for anyone at their sole discretion. Some guests may have special requests, such as: no photos, requiring masks, only allowing one item to be signed, etc. All limitation requests from the Guest and Autograph Staff must be followed.
  2. Guests will have merchandise and prints for sale at their discretion. Please have items ready for signing or payment ready for making a purchase when you are near the front of the Guest’s line. Check with the Autographs Manager or the Guest’s Liaison to find out if the Guest accepts cash, card, Google/Apple Pay, or some combination thereof. Personal items, unless otherwise specified by a guest, must be official, licensed products (no bootlegs). Fan art may be refused on a case-by-case basis; please confirm with Autographs Staff or the Guest’s Liaison.
  3. Guests may refuse gifts, photos, or recordings individually or entirely at their discretion. Always ask a Guest’s Liaison prior to offering a gift to a Guest.
  4. To provide a fair signing opportunity to all attendees, please limit your time with a Guest. If a Guest does not have a line, you may converse with the Guest, but please be mindful of other attendees approaching and other cues the Guest may give to indicate to wrap up the conversation.
  5. No touching guests without permission. Ask first for hugs, handshakes, etc. and respect that a guest may be sick, tired, or have some other reason for not wanting to give hugs. “No” is a complete sentence. Do not ask the guest to explain why they do not consent to physical touch. Please be aware that some guests may require masks at their signings. Signage will be posted at the beginning of the Guest line indicating this if this is the case. Please make sure to have a mask on you, just in case.
  6. The following gifts are prohibited: gifts of homemade food, gifts of pre-packaged consumables that have been opened, or gifts of pre-packaged consumables with tampered packaging. All consumable gifts must be pre-packaged with visible seals intact, no exceptions. If you have a consumable gift, you must present your gift to the Guest’s Liaison for approval prior to presenting the gift to a Guest. Guests have the right to refuse any and all consumable gifts.
  7. Please remember that items to be signed or gifts must follow Kumoricon policies, such as props and weapons. Please review our Code of Conduct if you have questions about if your item would be allowed.

Paid Autographs

Most Voice Actor Guests of Honor will offer paid autographs with the following exceptions listed below. Guests will be signing at their tables throughout the day (when not attending panels, breaks, or otherwise specified). We will not be pre-selling autographs on our website this year. They will only be available for purchase at the convention.

Attending a Paid Guest Autograph Session

  • Only one (1) other individual may accompany you in line, except for parents/guardians accompanying minors, or persons providing accessibility assistance.
  • Please purchase your autograph through the Guest's Liaison prior to meeting the Guest.

Free Autographs

All participating Guests will be signing at their designated table at their assigned times, unless an otherwise specified location is notated. Each attendee is limited to one free autograph per Guest who offers free autographs. Please note that only personal items brought by an attendee will be free. While Guests may have prints, shikishi, or other merchandise at their booth, those will have a cost associated with them which will be communicated at the Guest’s table or booth (and may be communicated online if timing allows). Any additional autographs after the first one must be purchased using the prices listed at each guest’s table or booth, unless otherwise specified by the guest.

See the General Q&A for more information.
