Participant Space
Assignment For your
information we have prepared this explanation of our space assignment
policies and procedures. We try very hard to be fair to everyone. The
following steps are applied, in order, to each application. 1. We
assign participants who have requested multiple spaces. 2. We
assign participants who have requested specific space location. 3. We
assign participants who are late applicants. We
attempt to separate similar products; therefore it is important to specify
the main product you intend
to sell on your application. Steps 1
through 3 are implemented in the order received (email or postmark date). We begin
assigning participant space as the date nears. We will email you with that
information within the week of the festival date. Participant applications
with postmarks after the due date are treated as late applications. We do not
accept hand carried applications to beat the deadline, as this would not be
fair to those who email or mailed on time. If you desire adjoining space with
another participant, send both applications in the same envelope. We will
make every attempt to comply with requests whenever possible, but to be
accommodating is not always possible. Your participant space assignment will
be emailed to you approximately seven days before the event. If you do not provide us with your email
address you will then receive your participant space assignment on the date
of your arrival to the event. |
