Jurying

The jury committee will evaluate each application for inclusion in the show. All items must be the original work of the registered exhibitor. Imported goods, mass-produced items or crafts made by third parties are not acceptable.

The committee will also take into account pricing and the type of goods offered in order to create a balanced show with broad appeal. Submissions will be judged on quality of presentation as well as compliance with the application requirements listed above. Prior participation does not guarantee acceptance in this year's show.

Jurying will end April 23, 2008. Applicants will be notified by mail of their acceptance or rejection by April 30. All decisions of the committee are final.

If we have more qualified applicants than we can fit in the show, the committee may at its discretion place artists on a waiting list. Similarly, applications received after the April 18 deadline will be considered on a case-by-case basis. In the event of cancellations, artists on the waiting list will be notified on a first-come, first-served basis.
