Most larger handmade markets are juried. The jurying process usually involves sending in an application that includes photos of your work, description of your craft and in some cases a resume. When you call or send for an application form, all the information regarding the jurying process will be included. In rare cases you may have to send in actual samples of your work, however, this is becoming less common practice.

Typically, a selection committee will look over your application and photos and will then make their choice based on originality, creativity, quality of craft and booth design. There are two main components to juried craft shows applications; vendor statement and photos of your work.
