Ok, ready?
Here's the deets:

MARKET: This event will be held indoors at Magnuson Park Hangar 30. You are responsible for providing your own tables, displays, chairs, card readers, etc. Event runs February 15th and 16th from 11am-5pm - load in will be early Feb 15th [Saturday morning]. There will be strict fire code requirements from the City of Seattle, so please be prepared to follow those as they are provided to you.

SELL YOURSELF: What makes your business different from others in your niche? What about your process, your story, your values sets your business apart? Really sell yourself and your products to show us why you should be chosen over other vendors in the same category.

PHOTOS: Please submit 5 photos - 4 that show off your product, only, and 1 that is of your booth set up if you have it.

These should be formatted to squares [1:1 ratio, 1080x1080 px, 300 dpi]. If your photos are not formatted to squares A) your application may not be reviewed and B) we may crop your photos to our liking which probably won't make your products shine like they should. So, please submit your photos formatted / cropped to square format.

*Also, please make sure you're actually submitting the photos that pertain to your business... while we love seeing personal photos of you and your dogs/kids/families, or screenshots of your most recent insta post or etsy sale, it's not what's intended.

Thank you for your application and time and we hope to connect at the market!

WHO CAN APPLY + APPLICATION DETAILS:
Handmadeland is for handmade businesses and makers only. This can include designers that have their products produced for them (but preferably with local manufacturing and sustainable practices!), as well as other types of small businesses like curated vintage, plants, sustainability, and food trucks/stalls.

Businesses who are ONLY RESALE of new items - i.e. thrifted/vintage is resale but also a sustainable practice and is allowable. Reselling new items, boutique-style, or items purchased wholesale and directly reselling would not be allowed. This also includes direct sales/MLM.

Other types of products / businesses that are not accepted:

• Crystals - this is considered resale unless you’re hand mining/foraging, shaping/carving, or otherwise changing the crystal into a different product (i.e. jewelry)
• Imported - goods that are imported from another country to be resold, even if they are handmade products, will not be accepted
• Services - medical, chiropractic, massage, beauty, or other will not be accepted
• Political - this is a non-political space and no booths for organizations or individuals with a political-type agenda will be accepted
• Authors - this is more of a product-based marketplace and while I love books and local authors, it typically doesn't fit with the rest of the vendor assortment
• Vendors applying who already own a brick & mortar location will not be prioritized.

Not sure if your business fits? Send us an email and we can chat!
