PLEASE READ THIS!

As GeekCraft Expo is a curated market, it’s crucial that we know what you intend to bring to the show. While we understand that many of you bring multiple craft items to sell at events, we are mainly interested in the geeky craft in which you specialize; that thing that you do better than anyone else, that you do differently than everyone else…or that no one else does. Whatever that is, THAT is mainly what we’ll be focusing on during the jurying process. Secondly, we’ll need to know everything ELSE you intend to bring…and we mean EVERYTHING. Please keep in mind that, at the event, if it’s discovered that you have items for sale that a) were not disclosed to us on your application and b) are in direct competition with another exhibitor, you’ll be asked to cease sale of those items immediately (and if you don’t comply, well…you’ll have to leave). Also, please know that you may be accepted on the condition that you not bring one or more of your non-specialty items as it would cause a conflict with another exhibitor’s specialization; in this case, you will be contacted ahead of time by the market curator to make sure this is acceptable. Payment of invoice will represent acceptance of conditions.

IN WHAT GEEKY CRAFT DO YOU SPECIALIZE? *

Please be both brief and concise in your description; example: "hand sculpted polymer clay dragon figurines". Please keep in mind that when your application is juried, the first item you list will be the one most considered; any additional items will be regarded in descending importance and are better included in the next section ("What ELSE do you intend to sell at the event?").

WHAT ELSE DO YOU INTEND TO SELL AT THE EVENT? *

DO NOT USE GENERIC DESCRIPTORS SUCH AS "VARIOUS" OR "ASSORTED"! A simple list is preferred. Again, DO NOT GIVE US A LINK TO A WEBSITE; WE WON'T LOOK AT IT!

SHOW US YOUR STUFF! (max file size 15MB) *

Please provide us with a CLEAR, HIGH-QUALITY PHOTO, WITHOUT LOGOS OR WATERMARKS, of the geeky craft in which you SPECIALIZE. Please DO NOT include photos of anything else; if we have questions about your non-specialized items, we'll contact you.

Upload File

DID YOU READ ALL OF THE INFORMATION UNDER THE HEADING "PLEASE READ THIS!", LOCATED ABOVE? *

If not, please do so now as an answer of "no" to this question will render your application unacceptable by our market curator.
