NEW AUCTION CLOSE TIME: Wed 2/28, 6:00PM USA/Eastern Time (changed from 2:00PM)

Hello everybody! I hope you’re ready to make some beautiful memories in this classic New Jersey diner because we’re excited to announce this YCH auction, giving you a chance to be in the official convention artwork and to get some unique registration perks for the Garden State Fur the Weekend (GSFTW) convention! The fur con will be happening in Morristown, NJ from May 3rd-5th 2024 (next year). All proceeds for this auction go towards funding the fur con!

I'm so excited to work on this piece and it's going to be huge! At least 9200x3200 pixels altogether. It’s designed to be both a big banner and also four separate posters, all of which will be on display at the fur con. The characters and the background will all be fully colored. The scene will be presented as a big banner and we'll also divide it into four posters, organized into the following sections:
- Cozy Conversations: Featuring slots 1, 2, 3 having an animated chat
- Service with a Smile: Featuring slots 4, 5, 6 grilling and serving grub
- Warm Welcome: Featuring slots 7 and 8 being greeted by our host Ray the raccoon
- Dance and Dine: Featuring slots 9 and 10 dancing and our feline GoH Coopertom

Each slot winner will receive:
- Your character immortalized in the official convention artwork
- A printed poster of your section of the artwork, one of the 4 sections, to be picked up at the con. Shipping available upon request.
- REGISTRATION FOR THE CONVENTION IS INCLUDED! A $65 VALUE!
- A discount on registration upgrades: Upgrade to "Regular Customer" for $50, to "Super Sponsor" for $150, or to "Chef's Special" for $350!

We’ve got ten character slots up for auction in this bustling scene! All slots are any species, any gender but no humans please! Plus-sized characters are fine but no hyper-sizes please.
