Qualifying applicants will be scored on the following criteria:

Quality: Applicants must live in Maine, own the rights to their designs, and have a hand in the creation or directly oversee the production of their work.

Diversity: We encourage and welcome diversity in all forms and build a market that reflects this.

Originality: We are seeking makers of unique products or collections that stand out and are displayed attractively.

Branding & Social Presence: From your online communications to your craft show display, your business exhibits a strong brand that reflects your personal aesthetic. Bonus points to those who actively promote their presence and participation in upcoming events. Cross-promotion is key to success! 

Curation: We will create a balance of media in order to offer a variety of products to customers. Some media categories will have a waiting list. Accepted exhibitors will be notified by April 29  and booth assignments shared by May 29.
