SG OC Trading Card

Information

This is an OC trading card event for Singaporean inspired by kerjacomot's Malaysia OC Trading Card Project!Do you have OCs? Do you write / draw OCs? Well, we do too and we love our original characters (and we want to promote more OC content in conventions)! The main idea is to print out these mini "trading cards" of your OCs and trade them with other people participating in the event! So everyone ends up getting a neat collection of other people's OC cards as well as your own!Anyone and everyone is encouraged to join. Whether you are boothing or attending the convention!
If you are just an attendee and worry about not being able to find other people to trade with, we recommend joining the Discord server to find your new friends! Alternatively, check out the spreadsheet found here to find out locations and previews of everyone else's cards. If you're boothing you can even put a small table sign up to let people know you're participating~
