All Virtual Market Exhibits are public contents. For example, the avatars set on the pedestals should not contain animations to become naked.
Please refrain from using effects or displays that involve strong flashing lights or significantly impact visibility, as they may cause health issues such as motion sickness, dizziness, or epileptic seizures for visitors.

Prohibition on NFT Exhibitions

In particular, VRChat has specifically announced that they "do not permit promotion, advertising, integration, or solicitation of unauthorized products or services like NFT or blockchain technology in VRChat".

• If the number of applications exceeds the maximum number of spaces in each world, an allocation lottery will be held.
• Please refer to the Submission Rules for the material count and file size limitations.
