Applicants would submit an application that includes photos of your work, description of your craft and details about your business. Following the application deadline, each application is ranked by each of the jurors – the scores/notes are tabulated and sorted by category.  Your application may be ranked on based on handmade quality, photos of your work and booth set-up, and the information you provide in your application. The jury will limit the number of successful applicants per category to ensure that there is a healthy and diverse selection of vendors. Applicants that are not selected will be placed on a wait list.

Please note that we receive a high volume of applications, and often our applications acceptance rate is less than 35% (ie. typically 250+ applications and 85 spots). If you are not accepted your first round, please continue to apply. Each show we ensure there is new talent. If you are a previous vendor be sure to apply with NEW photos and products.
