submissions

Interested in presenting at the 2025 Virginia Cat Festival?

Submissions are now open for MarCATplace vendors, workshop presenters, and cat meet & greet sessions. Additional details are included at the links below.

MarCATplace Vendor Submission Form
For anyone interested in having a booth in the MarCATplace. We welcome submissions from creators, businesses, and nonprofit organizations. A booth is a great way to connect with attendees to sell your PAW-some merch and/or raise awareness about your organization’s mission. Join us to spread the word about whatever amazing cat-related stuff you’re doing or creating!

Presenter Submission Form
For workshop presenters and panelists. We welcome content that ranges from educational to playful. Whether you want to teach people how to craft their own cat toys, discuss how to start fostering kittens, share best practices for clicker training, or have other content that will benefit our cat-loving community, we want to hear from you!

Cat Meet & Greet Submission Form
For hoomans that want to bring their cat to meet the masses! These sessions give attendees a chance to say hi, give some pets, and take MEOW-valous photos. We know a cat needs an adventurous PURR-sonality to socialize in a festival environment so we want to coordinate with presenters in advance for the safety of all involved. These sessions were extremely popular last year!
