Fwd: The SPX 2023 Lottery Closes in 48 Hours/2 days!!!

Hello Everyone!

The SPX 2023 Lottery is closing in 48 hours/2 days on April 1 at 11:59PM!!

Go to the Lottery Submission form on the SPX web site and register for the lottery today.

HHere are the key dates (please excuse us if we are a few days late here and there):

April 1 - Lottery closes at 11:59PM Eastern Time
April 24 - Lottery winners and Wait Listed exhibitors contacted
May 15- Table payment and hotel room block information sent to all table holders.
June 5 - Payments due for all tables.

Here is some key information about the lottery:

We will be checking to make sure you publish comics (minicomix/comics, graphic novels, anthologies, etc., etc.), so if you're exclusively an illustrator, novelist, cosplayer or anime figure retailer (we get them) you will not be eligible for tables.

We will not be picking the randomized lottery winners until after all applications have been received; this means there is no benefit to applying early or late (except maybe peace of mind).

You can only apply for the lottery once, and multiple entries will result in you being removed from the lottery pool (unless you email us and tell us you accidentally clicked twice or something, we do have a heart!).

For exhibitors, due to Covid/health concerns, we will once again limit the number of people behind tables to 2-3 people, with medical exceptions allowed.

COVID-19 AND SPX

In these times of pandemics and other easily transmitted diseases, the health and safety of the SPX Community is paramount in our minds. So here is where we stand with health measures at this year's show:

Masking will be required for everybody, attendees, exhibitors and SPX staff/volunteers.

If there is a current Covid wave close to the show, proof of vaccination will once again be required to gain entry. This decision will be made and communicated to the SPX Community in mid-late August.

If you have any questions email us at exhibitor-inquiries@smallpressexpo.com.

Best of luck to everyone!

Jamie, Meg, Warren and the rest of the SPX Executive Committee

You are getting this email because we know you might want a table to SPX 2022!!

TODAY: NLM History Talk @2pm ET ~ Bayoumi on COVID Comics

You are cordially invited to the next NLM History Talk, "COVID Comics: Decentering White Narratives in Graphic Medicine During the COVID-19 Pandemic," to be held virtually tomorrow, Thursday, March 30, at 2pm ET: https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=48675.

Join us to welcome our speaker Soha Bayoumi, PhD, Senior Lecturer, Medicine, Science, and the Humanities, Johns Hopkins University.

The Graphic Medicine Manifesto (2015) defines Graphic Medicine as "the intersection of the medium of comics and the discourse of healthcare." Since the field emerged over a decade ago as a legitimate area of scholarly inquiry, artistic creativity, and interest for medical professionals, patients, and caregivers alike, the NLM has engaged with it in different ways, growing its collection of graphic narratives exploring experiences of illness and organizing a traveling exhibition, "Graphic Medicine: Ill-Conceived & Well-Drawn!" through display panels and a variety of events to raise awareness about this burgeoning field. Despite efforts to diversify the field of Graphic Medicine, many have lamented the fact that it continued to center white narratives. In this talk, Dr. Bayoumi explores the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic has changed this. She argues that the nature of the pandemic, as a major global event affecting health all over the planet and disproportionately impacting communities of color, meant that many more BIPOC and other people of the global majority have produced diverse narratives of COVID, graphic and otherwise. She claims that COVID's diversifying effect on Graphic Medicine is indelible and is paving the way for the expression of many more diverse graphic narratives of health and illness.  

Participate in the Q&A via the live feedback interface of the videocast.

Visit Circulating Now, the blog of the NLM History of Medicine Division, to read our interview with Dr. Bayoumi.

This free program, like all NLM History Talks, will be live-streamed globally, closed-captioned live, and subsequently archived in the NIH Videocast archive of History of Medicine programs.

NLM History Talks promote awareness and use of NLM and related historical collections for research, education, and public service in biomedicine, the social sciences, and the humanities. The series also supports the commitment of the NLM to recognize the diversity of its collections—which span ten centuries, encompass a range of digital and physical formats, and originate from nearly every part of the globe—and to foreground the voices of people of color, women, and individuals of a variety of cultural and disciplinary backgrounds who value these collections and use them to advance their research, teaching, and learning.
