APPLICATION CHECKLIST

WHAT TO SUBMIT

Once you've decided that our show is the perfect fit for you, it’s time to start your application!

Below, we’ve outlined the supporting materials you’ll need to submit. Each one is designed to help the jury understand your business and how we can build a successful partnership together. Be sure to showcase your personality and attention to detail wherever possible.

We receive a large number of applications for the Winter show, and our jury carefully reviews each one to curate an exciting mix of vendors and products. Applications are evaluated based on factors like category, production methods, existing products in the show, and geographical representation. We especially encourage those in popular categories, such as jewellery and apparel, to take extra care in highlighting your brand and story!

  • BOOTH DESIGN
    Include a photo, sketch, inspiration board or rendering of your booth display. Your design should include plans for signage, lighting, merchandising and the structure of your booth. Your plans should also consider how your booth will tell your brand story. Not Sure Where to Start? Visit our Best Booth Pinterest Boards or try the Booth Design Puzzle Teaser provided by Visual Merchandising Expert and a friend of the show, Ani Nersessian of VM ID, who can help you create your best booth design. NOTE: Using grids to hang and display your work is not permitted to maintain the show's professional look.

  • PHOTOS OF YOUR WORK (up to 10 photos)
    Submit ten well-lit photos representing each type of work you want to sell at the show. We cannot stress the importance of good images, as they will be the jury's introduction to your work and may be used for marketing and PR opportunities if accepted to the show.

  • STUDIO PHOTO
    Show us where you make the magic happen--whether it's your studio, a maker space, a commercial kitchen or a dining room table! This helps give the jury a sense of the scale of your production.

  • BIOGRAPHY
    Tells us about yourself, your brand, what inspires you, your business goals, your education/training (if applicable) and other shows you have participated in.

  • STEP-BY-STEP DESCRIPTION OF YOUR PRODUCTION PROCESS(ES)
    This is probably the most important document in your application package. Each item you wish to sell at the show must be made by you or your company and fit within our production criteria. Take care to walk us through your production process(es)--tell us how you design, where production takes place, how you are involved and when you are getting help. This information will not be shared with anyone outside of the jury.

  • PRICE LIST
    This will help the jury understand your pricing and how it compares in the marketplace. Pricing and photos should be present for each type of item you list under Items You Would Like to Sell in the applications.
