We welcome you to Pinpalooza! Participants of this program make up our Artist Alley and Vendor Hall so come check out their space and shop their exclusive Pinpalooza pins!

• Where can I find these pins during Anime NYC?
  • Pins can be found at participating Vendor booths, Artist Alley tables, and of course – on our staff members! See above for more specific location details.
• How do I trade someone for a pin?
  • Follow our simple pin trading rules and you’ll do great!
    • • Pins must be traded one at a time
      • Pins should have their pin back on them when trading, so no one gets poked!
      • Please ask politely before attempting a pin trade. Be mindful of people’s personal space and be kind! Always say please and thank you! Don’t touch another fan or staff member’s lanyard or pins without their permission.
      • Staff members cannot decline to trade with you as long as you are willing to trade an Official Anime NYC 2025 Pinpalooza pin, but fans can decline. Please respect the person’s decision.
• Do I have to pay for the pins?
  • Yes. Pinpalooza pins must be purchased. Once you own them, you can trade them with other pin collectors or Anime NYC Staff members.
    
• I’m an artist/exhibitor and I want to participate but don’t know where to begin?
  • We got you covered! Email [email protected] for more info on where to begin! Please note: all artwork must be finalized by August 1st.
