We retain the right to blacklist folks doing anything illegal or breaking the rules/terms.► NSFW is allowed as long as:
    1) Applications have been filled out properly so we can appropriately mark the rating on our pages

     DISCORD 
    Vendor's should join our Discord as that is our "home base" and where a lot of the vendor perks are setup. If you are not there, we cannot set you up with the vendor role, posting access for sales, etc, which is part of the paid perks!
     VR Worlds 
    While we do have VR booths and posters available for our vendors, you DO NOT have to participate in VR! Think of it like an art show, your booth is there for people to look at, you do not have to be there and it's impossible to be in every instance of the world.
    PLEASE NOTE: You DO NOT need a VR Headset! VR platforms have a "desktop mode"! Check our events for more information on our worlds.
    The vendor costs help us continue to keep the event running and are based on the perks provided for each tier. Please read them carefully before choosing!

    Art by Igglypou (Marty the Fox) & Temrin (Connor the Sloth)

    CozyCon & Funeral Equinox Partnership InfoCozyCon (CCO) and Furnal Equinox (FE) are sharing resources, helping each other out and working together to promote each others events. Despite that, we are still entirely separate events with separate teams. So if you have questions, contact the team for the convention you are asking about.

    - CCO’s main event is in September, with a smaller May event. (Both are virtual)
    - FE's hybrid in-person AND virtual event is in March
    - Both events will be promoting each other on social media, our websites, etc.
    - FE is graciously adapting their VRChat worlds for CCO use, including a Vendor space, available year-round. This means CCO vendors will now get all year round listings/booths in the CCO platforms. CCO vendor applications open for the September event, and approved vendors also get access to the following Mini May event as a vendor at no extra cost
    - Sharing is caring! We all know how cons need more volunteers and we hope that by partnering we can grow our volunteer pool and have them overlap!
    - Maybe more~ Who knows what the future will hold and we're very excited!

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Is this a FURRY event?
    We are not specifically a furry event. We welcome all industries/fandoms which include furries! Our mascot is an anthropomorphic sloth because that's what we thought fit. (The creator of the character, Temrin, is also a fantasy artist and draws anthro's better than humans. ;P ) It just so happens that, through networking and word of mouth, a majority of our vendors are furry.
    How does an online convention work?
    We offer community spaces within Discord, VRChat and Minecraft for folks to hang out in together and we also host livestreams that showcase the content of our Vendors, Panelists, DJ’s, etc. However please be advised that CozyCon mods are not in control of the websites, services, or other external places that others link to from our spaces. We are a worldwide event so expect users from different time zones, with different currencies, etc. You can find schedules closer to our event dates.
    How do I attend and is there a fee?
    Attending is free and we hope you'll spend your money buying from the Vendors or tipping your favourite Panelists/DJ’s! Attending is simple; Join the Discord for the full experience but you only need to check the Vendors or Events pages during (and shortly before) the event to check out what's happening, when and where! Each listing will have a link to participate wherever that item is being hosted (Twitch, Discord, VRchat, etc.)
    How do I support the event?
    You can support CozyCon in a variety of ways!
    Registration Swag Bundles (Special items, badges, etc), Convention Store (Tshirts, hoodies, housewares, etc), Volunteer (Help us make things happen!), or word of mouth!
    Why do Vendors have a fee?
    It is not free to host CozyCon. Without funding, we are unlikely to host this again, let alone make the event better in the future! We have overhead to cover that we cannot afford out of pocket, so we've added a fee to those who will be making money off our event. This is done in the hopes of them making that money back. For the cost of the fees, Vendors are advertised on vendor lists, in VRChat worlds, and in our Discord for almost an entire year, including our September main event, and the following Mini May event.
    Why doesn't CozyCon charge for Vendors listings in USD?
    Because we're based in Canada! (This is good news for Americans, IT'S CHEAPER!)
    I want to volunteer to help the event!
    That is awesome! We would love to hear from you. You can contact us through the Volunteer page form, and if you decide you want to host a panel of some kind, you can do so on the Events page.
