• If fursuit parts were pre-made (e.g. head blank from DVC), please credit the corresponding makers as well.

• Once your fursuit has been chosen, you will be rewarded with one unique badge as our gratitude and appreciation.
  

FAQ

Q: Does the submitted fursuit has to be fullbody?
We accept either fullbody or partial fursuit. However, the submitted fursuit should at least include head, handpaws and tail.

Q: If a previously debuted suit is remade, can it be submitted again?
The recreated suit can be submitted, but there should be a significant difference compared to the previous version. Otherwise, your placement may be affected.

Q: Can a partial suit converted into a full suit be submitted?
The partial suit and full suit characters are considered the same, and therefore cannot be submitted.

Q: Can a cartoon/anime, video game, or other copyrighted character be used?
We leave the decision on what character to use up to the fursuit maker, but the maker will be responsible for all copyright issues, should they arise.

Q: So if my fursuit were chosen, how would the showcase program be like?
We would inform you of your sign-up time for showcasing through email. If the fursuit performer is someone else, please make sure the performer is aware of the showcase schedule. Each performer has 1-2 minutes of performance, and the performance must include at least 3~4 postures for spectating and photographing.

Q: Yeah so I can not make it before the deadline, but I reassure you that I could deliver before Infurnity! Still good yeah?
Yes with some conditions. We strongly suggest you to complete the fursuit before the deadline, but as long as the fursuit is ready before the Fursuit Debut, we would not disqualify your application.
