3. Important Application & Waitlist Information

   All applications submitted after March 31, 2025, will automatically be placed on the waitlist—no exceptions. As accepted vendors are placed, payments are processed, and additional booth spaces become available, we will notify waitlisted applicants as soon as possible if we are able to offer them a spot.

   If you miss the application deadline, you may still submit your information, but it will go directly to the waitlist.

   Please also note:
   Applications submitted to the waitlist after March 31, 2025, will not be reviewed by the jury and are not guaranteed consideration for acceptance. Jury-evaluated applications will be given priority on the waitlist. Only once all juried applications have been placed will we consider non-juried waitlist submissions.

   Application fees are non-refundable, including for late applicants and those placed on the waitlist.
