Autumn Arts and Crafts Festival This is the third year for the Autumn Arts and Crafts Festival. We have had a very successful couple of years as reported by our vendors and our shoppers and anticipate that this will remain a strong show. We have taken over the date of a 30 year established show.

Booth Spaces Standard booth size is 6 1/2 x 10 feet, Bonus booth is 6 ½ x 15 (limited number available), Double is 6 ½ x 20. There will be an 8 foot walkway through the center of the concourse with booths on either side. (We cannot accommodate 10x10 setups) We do assign booth spaces as applications are received and approved (rolling acceptance).

Chances of getting any special booth placement requests are increased by early application date as well as participation in our previous shows. Once again, first come, first serve along with the product being sold and the quality of the product tends to determine who gets in as well. A new vendor with a unique product may be accepted while a long-time vendor who applies late may get turned down if their ccategory d is full by that time 3 e.g.

candles, soap, jewelry are categories ... more. less.

that may fill up quickly. We are using a rolling acceptance with no definite deadline 3 we jury and accept until filled. The Jury Process This is a juried show. Selection is based on quality, creativity, and originality with an eye towards attaining a wide variety of crafts at this show. We accept only original work made by the artist on site (no imports, work from kits, or prefabricated wholesale items). We may allow commercial products, on a limited basis, where the criteria for acceptance is based upon the uniqueness of the product, and the sole discretion of the promoters. If you are sharing a booth, each vendor 9s items must be juried. Please send at least 3 representative photos (no slides) of your work and a photo of your booth setup, if possible. Please expect that we will hold your pictures until the show and return them to you at the show. Prior participation on our show does not guarantee acceptance into any present or future shows. We reserve the right to reject any application. Advertising We have a web site and list the vendors who are attending our show on the web site. We will be listing by Business Name and City and type of craft. We will use the vendor 9s name if there is not a business name available. If you have a web site or an e-mail address that you would like us to publish or link to, please let us know. Our general advertising begins in a general way two months before the show and goes into high gear 2 weeks before the show. It includes electronic billboards, highway signs, newspaper advertising, posters, various internet calendar listings, and thousands of flyers that are distributed over the entire WSU campus. WSU Trademark Information The WSU Trademark Officer regularly attends craft fairs in our area specifically to check on trademark infringement. Many of our crafters are licensed by WSU to use the Cougar logos. If someone comes with items already made up and without a proper license, our Trademark Officer takes their business card and contacts them later about the problem, but we would like to have everyone in compliance--it is only fair to those vendors who are carefully following the rules. Anyway, contact the WSU Trademark office by calling 509-335-2202 or checking this website http://www.clc.com/ Vendor Requirements f Booth Fee, non-refundable after acceptance: Standard Booth $190; Booth and a half $285, Double booth $380. f Application Deadline: Until Filled ; we will jury and accept applications as they are received 3 rolling acceptance.
