All vendor fees are non-refundable upon acceptance.  Unfortunately there are no exceptions to this policy.  Both submissions and payments are not accepted past the due date(s).  If your vendor fee is not submitted by the due date, sadly you'll forfeit your spot and be moved to the waitlist.  Past acceptance does not guarantee spots in future events.  For each event, we like to create a mix of customer-favorites as we as less-established newcomers.
