Each exhibitor shall enter no more than 2 exhibits. Composite exhibits such as timelines can be entered either in part in separate classes or as a whole in any class.
Each entrant shall register their exhibit by October 20, 2002. Entrants failing to submit their registration will not be eligible to participate in the Exhibit, however exceptions may be made for individual circumstances.
Exhibitors are required to pay a $15 exhibit fee per exhibit. This fee goes towards covering exhibit production expenses and entitles the exhibitor to full admission to the VCF.
The VCF venue opens to exhibitors for setup at 8:00am PST on the opening Saturday of the VCF weekend. Entrants should be present at the VCF venue no later than 12:00 noon on Saturday to setup and prepare their exhibit. The exhibit floor opens to the general VCF attendance at 2:00pm on Saturday. Exhibitors should be prepared to exhibit their entries both days of the event. Exhibitors must have their exhibits disassembled and removed from the VCF venue no later than 7:00pm on Sunday. Any exhibit not removed by the exhibitor will be removed by the VCF at the exhibitor's expense, plus a $50 handling fee.
Exhibitors are responsible for the security of their exhibits during event hours. The VCF provides monitors in the exhibit area to oversee exhibits and prevent abuse by attendees. However, exhibitors should take care to properly secure easily removed elements of their exhibit.
The exhibit area is secured during off-hours. However, exhibitors are encouraged to attain insurance for items that are of significant rarity. The Vintage Computer Festival cannot and does not provide such insurance.
