Local Legend Application Info
As a community-based convention, we prefer to showcase local entertainers, educators and artists over well-known actors or industry guests. Our Local Legends receive guest treatment in exchange for their willingness to provide content at PopCult Anime Con sharing their time, knowledge and skills with our attendees. We believe this format makes our content unique compared to other conventions and allows for more intimate guest content, educational programming, hands-on participation opportunities and affordable convention pricing for attendees. Previous Local Legends include live musicians, popular influencers, scientific cosplayers, professional photographers, award-winning artists and doctorate-holding educators.
For 2025, we are hoping to expand our Local Legend offerings to include content from Video Influencers, Game Streamers and Professional Artists.
The Local Legend official application period will begin on March 1 and end on March 31, 2025. As always, all applicants are welcome and submitted resumes will be reviewed in the month of April. All applicants will be contacted by PCAC Guest Relations staff by the end of May. Applicants not accepted as Local Legends for PopCult Anime Con 2025 will be encouraged to try again next year!
If you’d like to apply, please prepare a resume including short biography, other conventions you may have performed at, and a description of panels/content you’d be interested in bringing to PopCult Anime Con. All Local Legends receive free hotel and meals, as well as guest badges and entourage badges for the weekend of PCAC. Additional equipment needs, travel costs, fees, etc. negotiable; please note these in your application. We look forward to working with you!
