What are Ribbon Games?
Ribbon Games are fun games or challenges that attendees complete. Its all about having fun and being a part of a great experience. Attendees often collect more and more ribbons creating a long chain.

They give exhibitors the opportunity to have attendees seek out their space and come to their area. We strategize participation, helping foot traffic . The movement to boosts visibility and leads engagement.
What is a Stamp/Sticker Rally?
An attendee receives a card used to acquire stamps from exhibitors. The attendee finds several different participating exhibitor booth spaces and typically completes a task to acquire a stamp from each exhibitor.
Can Exhibitors host their own Stamp Rallies?
Yes, any artists or vendors can organize any stamp rally outside of and/or separate without the convention participation. If you are interested in any support from the con please inform us.
Do I have to be involved in this?
No. Setting up at a con is a huge task to begin with and everyone is at different levels and has different resources. There is NO OBLIGATION at all to participate in any of this.
Can I have Ribbons to give out without having a game or task?
Yes, That would be awesome too! The game or task part of Ribbon games is not mandatory. Some vendors/artists at cons include a ribbon with purchases and sometimes they pass them out too.
