VIEW 2026 SPRING SHOW BOOTH PRICING

Yes, the Spring 2026 New Application has two parts.
After you submit Part One, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to complete Part Two. Both parts must be submitted by the application deadline to be considered for the show.

Be sure to use the same contact information and exhibiting name for both parts of the application so the Selection Committee can easily match and review your submission with confidence.

No. If accepted into the show you will need to arrange utilities like power, shipping, or decorator services directly with the venue or show decorator at your expense.

Please review the various helpful guides and request forms in the Exhibitor Kit once available.

Applications received by the first round deadline of June 27, 2025 can expect to hear back about the status of their application by mid-to-late July, 2025.

Application received by the second round deadline of August 15, 2025 can expect to hear back about the status of their application by early-to-mid September, 2025.

After August 15, we’ll continue accepting applications until the show sells out. The Selection Committee meets bi-weekly, and applicants can typically expect a response 2–3 weeks after applying.

We strongly encourage early submissions to maximize your chances of being accepted.

We’re incredibly grateful for our loyal maker community — your creativity, passion, and craftsmanship are what make One Of A Kind the flagship destination for Canadian-made goods. Your voices tell the story of Canadian craft, and we’d love for you to be part of it again this Spring.

Returning exhibitor? We’ve made reapplying even easier.
Just update your contact info, booth preferences, and let us know of any changes to your business since we last saw you. We’ll use your existing application materials on file, follow up only if needed, and submit your profile for jurying. If accepted, we’ll do our best to match you with available booth space.

Unsure if you should fill out the VIP or New application, use this guide linked below:

Should I Submit a New or VIP Application?

FOR REBOOK and VIP APPLICATIONS ONLY: In order to sign up using our Spring Re-Sign or VIP Form, you agree to participate with the same business and product as you did when you last exhibited at your last show. This means that your Spring Show contract will include only those items which you have already been approved to sell.

If you would like to add new products to your contract for the Spring Show, you can do so through our New Products Form, which will be available to registered exhibitors early in the fall. Please be advised that new product submissions are reviewed based on a number of criteria and are not guaranteed to be accepted. Before you fill out your Re-Sign or VIP form, please ensure you are prepared to participate with your current contracted products.

If you would rather wait and reapply with your new business or new product line(s), you can submit a full application.

Curation and booth placement on the floor plan is at the discretion of One Of A Kind.

In your application, you indicate what booth sizes you are interested in and have the opportunity to submit medical/accessibility concerns that affect booth placement and any special requests.

There are no guarantees these requests can or will be accommodated.

Your booth space is a blank space for you to set the stage for your audience and showcase your brand and work. Unless otherwise stated, your booth space includes 8' high pipe and white drape, and booth number signage.

Due to the pipe-and-drape construction (1.5” diameter) of the booth, internal dimensions are slightly reduced (as noted below). Consider your actual booth size when making your booth display plans.

Contracted Size Actual Size

• 5 x 10 - 4'-8" deep x 9'-8" wide
• 5 x 20 - 4'-8" deep x 19'-8" wide
• 10 x 10 - 9'-8" deep x 9'-8" wide
• 10 x 20 - 9'-8" deep x 19'-8" wide

NOTE: If you exceed your booth size, you will be asked to adjust. Also, chairs must be placed INSIDE your booth, or you will be asked to move them (stools in the Risings Stars Section excluded from the above note).

You can see examples of past booths on our Pinterest page. Your display must stay within your rented space, and your booth must not be configured in such a way that you must stand in the aisle in front of the booth to conduct business.

The Booth Share option is only available to applicants applying with a specific partner. Both individuals must submit separate, complete applications and include each other’s names in the appropriate section.

You’ll also need to provide a shared booth layout that shows how you plan to divide the 10’x10’ space. View examples of past Booth Shares here.

Still looking for a partner?

Join our Facebook group On My Way to OOAK—a community of applicants, exhibitors, and supporters. It’s a great place to network, ask questions, and potentially connect with someone interested in sharing a booth. You can make a post or reach out directly to other members.

Exhibitors must provide lighting, signage, and POS equipment. Electrical, hard walls and other services are available for purchase or rental. You are encouraged to add hard walls, a floor, great lighting, and so much more.

We highly recommend you do NOT use the white drape as your background. You may bring fabric to add to the drape (using Velcro, "s" hooks, or pins, or additional pipe ordered from our suppliers) or you may install (or rent) a hard wall system as a backdrop. Note: There is no pipe and drape in the Rising Stars section. Artists in this area must bring or rent their own structures.

We’ve streamlined our booth options to make planning simpler and more efficient. While 15' booths are no longer available, you can now choose from 5'x10' and 10'x10' spaces, in 10' increments (e.g., 5'x20', 10'x20', 10'x30', etc.).

This new structure comes with built-in savings — the more space you book, the more you save.

Best of all, if you usually book a 15' booth, you can now upgrade to a 20' space for just a little more and enjoy the extra room to grow your presence.

If your application is not accepted, your deposit will be fully refunded within 3–5 business days of the decision.

If your application is accepted but we’re unable to offer one of your booth choices and you opted out of alternative booth sizes, your deposit will be refunded within 3-5 business days of confirmation.

Your payment schedule will vary based on your application date and will be clearly outlined in the application form.

To accommodate the FIFA schedule, we’ve shifted our dates slightly — and we’re using this as a chance to try something exciting. This later timing gives us the opportunity to create a more focused and energetic show experience. Our goal is to deliver the same great turnout in four action-packed days, supported by enhanced marketing, dynamic programming, and an elevated show atmosphere.

Creating Cultural Awareness

Inspiration comes from many sources, but it’s important to create in ways that respect and uplift cultures rather than stereotype or exploit them. If your work includes cultural elements beyond your own background, consider the origin and meaning of the material, and their impacts on members of that culture so you can best avoid cultural appropriation.

Your Heritage & Your Craft

If your heritage influences your work, we encourage you to share your story proudly. Let us know so we can help highlight your journey!
