If the deadline has passed, the website will post the most updated information about available space. In the past couple of years, the show has filled up by the jury deadline and a healthy wait-list is created during the selection process. However, if we have availability in certain categories it will be posted on the website. Also, feel free to email [email protected] if you are unsure and/or want to be put on our email list for deadline reminders.

I do not have a photo/image of a display/presentation/booth, what should I submit instead?
If you do not have a photo/image of a display/presentation/booth, it is recommended that you set one up in a clean, open space and photograph it. If this is not possible, you may submit a computerized layout of your display or a sketch of your display. Keep in mind that presentation is an important factor in the jury selection.

I create work that falls under multiple categories, which should I select in the application?
If you create work that includes jewelry, you must apply under jewelry.

If your work is balanced between a number mediums and categories, applying under the mixed media category is the best choice.
