At the inception of this convention, one of the founding members decided to draw the characters of all who attended, into a singular, poster-sized, art piece, and it was well received by all. So much so, that the next year, another one was created, and then the following year, another. Now it has become an annual tradition. Though we have had to cap the number of characters in recent years, for the sake of the artists (even with an entire team to work on the piece nowadays), it is still a popular keepsake for many of our attendees and staff.

YCH stands for Your Character Here. It is a popular shorthand for an art commission type where the artist is adding your specific character into a pre-determined scene.

The YCH! tier for FurSquared is available on a first-come, first-serve basis and limited to the 50 slots available on the poster. Once 50 people have purchased their place in this tier, Registration will stop accepting additional entries, and FurSquared will announce on both here on this website and social media, that all slots have been filled. (Are you subscribed to our Telegram channel?)

If you are not able to register for the YCH! tier either as a new registration or as an upgrade, that is because all slots for the Poster have been filled.

If you found yourself already registered for FurSquared, but did not select “YCH!” as your registration tier, you may still be able upgrade! Within your registration confirmation email, there should be a link to edit your registration. From there, you can upgrade to the YCH! tier, if it is still available. Note that you will need to pay the difference between YCH! and your current tier, in order to secure your spot on our poster.

One final note regarding YCH! tier registration: After the closing date for entries (September 30th, 2025), no refunds will be given to YCH! Poster tier attendees. For more details on the refund process, please see our refund policy.

If you have any further questions about our poster this year please reach out to [email protected].

To participate in FurSquared’s poster we will need several details about the character to be drawn, including:

• Character name
• Short Description
• Link to a publicly accessible reference*

*When sharing links to references, do not use links that are inaccessible to others. Sites like FurAffinity work really well for this. Google Drive links should be fine as long as they have permissions for anyone with link to view. Imgur might work too, but do not use Discord links or other private links.

If you are not sure if the link can work for us, try logging out of the service where its posted and using the link you intend to send.

As there is a time limit on how long the team can work on the poster, we, unfortunately, cannot wait for emails to go back and forth, so please have working links prepared for your character before submitting.

Also, when you submit references for your character, please make sure they are safe for work (SFW) and contain no explicit content. If you do not have references of your character that are SFW, you may give us NSFW references as long as the explicit / mature content is censored.

If a suitable reference is not submitted, then your registration level will be downgraded to Super Sponsor and you will be refunded the difference.

For help and/or clarification on these requirements, please contact [email protected].
