Calling all enamel pin, plushie, and ITA bag Creators 📣 You’re invited to launch your next crowdfunding project on BackerKit as part of our 4th annual PINTOPIA launching JANUARY 22, 2026.

Please read our participation expectations below prior to joining:
- Must run and fulfill your own crowdfunding project on BackerKit
- Featured product must fit within event categories and themes.
- Must build/nurture your audience prior to launch to meet/exceed set funding goal
- Must launch and end at exactly the same time as all participants
- Featured product needs to be something brand new, not a reprint
- Must join our private Discord Server and private channels
- All participants must adhere to our AI Policy
To be accepted as a participant, you’re expected to be a strong team player and a positive, engaged member of the community throughout the entire experience. This means showing up, uplifting fellow creators, and actively participating in building a collaborative environment. You should be prepared to share not only your own project, but also help amplify the work of fellow creators making this a success for everyone involved.
Applications will be prioritized by previous Topia and/or Group-Collab experience on BackerKit, previous experience successfully funding crowdfunding projects on any platform, referrals from qualifying applicants, and open applications, in that order. BackerKit reserves the right to pull any project from the event if we indicate you are not ready to launch.
