About the registration

Thank you for your interest in EMG's Annual Handmade Markets! Our shows are juried fine art and craft events, and all items are handmade here in the US. No commercial merchandise is accepted. Please be sure to scroll all the way down and read over all the information before applying as we have done our best to answer all your questions before you submit your application! This is an electronic agreement and by selecting the size booth you require, you are validating and approving this agreement electronically. Categories: Listed below are EMG's accepted categories. PLEASE BE SURE TO REVIEW THEM and determine what best describes your body of work. In most cases it describes the raw materials of which the work is comprised. If you are uncertain, make your best guess, and you will be contacted if the jury feels you would best fit in another category (and we can manually change your application) Artists may apply in up to 2 categories. If you sell jewelry, you may apply in a category other than Jewelry if jewelry is less than 10% of your items for sale. Otherwise, you must apply in Jewelry. All work displayed in the booth must be created by the artist in the booth, must be for sale or marked as a display item, and must be representative of the work you have shown in the photos you attach to this application.

Endcap	$1,100.00	An Endcap is typically 20-feet in length and 5-feet deep, is at the end of two rows and has two corners. However, since there are storage areas at the Northern Virginia Christmas Market, an Endcap is actually 30 feet long and 10 feet deep with 2 corners. All Endcap booth spaces come with a 10-foot high x 30-foot long back drape Because this booth is so large, it does not have any storage behind it. We encourage exhibitors with endcaps to either bring a temporary curtain to put in front of the back drape to create storage, or bring extra fully draped tables and place storage items underneath. Please note - You Do not have to add the corner fee below to this booth selection. The Endcap fee includes both corner fees.
Corner Fee	$50.00	Corner fees are for those exhibitors who would like to be placed on a corner for extra exposure. This essentially creates two selling sides for the exhibitor. We recommend not ordering extra drape or setting up a panel on the open corner side, so that your booth can be seen from many different directions.
8-foot Table	$20.00	Table Rental: IMPORTANT! 8-foot tables rented for the Northern Virginia Christmas Market are slightly more narrow than at our Virginia Beach Facility. These tables are 24" wide. These tables DO NOT come dressed (with table cloths on them.) Please make sure you bring table coverings and that they are they can accommodate these slightly narrow tables. All exhibitor tables must be covered to the ground on all 4 sides in an attractive manner. Please and Thanks!

Side Drape	$20.00	Each booth has a back drape that is 10' high and runs the length of the booth in sections of red and white fabric. However, if an exhibitor wants to close in, or "wall in" their booth, they can rent side drape for $20 per section. All side drape is white. Please keep in mind that if you wall in your booth, and the hall is filled your booth will have somewhat limited visibility. People will not be able to see your inventory unless they are right in front of your booth.
