Information on applying to Handmade Canberra

Please make sure you read all the information first including the boring rules bit!

Handmade Market is a high quality market showcasing talented craftsmen, artists, designers and gourmets. Potential participants are required to submit a detailed application form and accompanying product images.  Images may be used on the Handmade Market website and promotional material.

Handmade will be held at the National Convention Centre in Canberra's CBD. The NCC is Canberra's premier events venue. The NCC can accommodate all stalls inside & a few gorgeous outdoor stalls, is fully airconditioned, has underground parking, disabled access and an ATM next door. Holding Handmade at the NCC will allow us to showcase your fabulous designs on another level altogether!

All scheduled markets are in this one application. This will save you having to apply each market. Available places will be offered to you and payment will only be required prior to each market, not all at once. Once you attend a Handmade event you can rebook on the day for the next event without re-applying.

If you are from interstate please keep in mind that you will incur the extra costs of travel, accommodation, petrol etc. It is your choice to apply and we cannot be responsible for these costs. Please factor this in when you are considering applying for Handmade.

2012 Dates.

Saturday June 9 & Sunday June 10 - OPEN

Saturday September 29 & Sunday September 30 Opening soon

Saturday December 8 & Sunday December 9

This will not mean you are guaranteed a place at every market you apply for.  Any changes to choice of market dates you wish apply for will only be granted prior to payment. 

We regret to inform you that once you have accepted your place & paid your invoice there will be no refund for that market. Nor can you transfer the payment to another market. This becomes a logistical nightmare. Please note- we charge a $25 admin fee for each new applicant - this is due to the high volume of applications we receive. Of course you only need to pay this fee if your application is successful!

Please make sure you add our email address to your inbox so our emails do not go into your spam folder. Please add both info@handmademarket.com.au & admin@handmademarket.com.au

Each market is organised separately. We cannot look at applications until the previous market is finalised. This is usually 3-4 weeks after each event.

We will contact everyone that applies to be part of Handmade not just those that receive a place at our Handmade events. If you do not hear from us soon please check your spam folders and email us at admin@handmademarket.com.au to check on your application.

It is a requirement of applying for a place at Handmade that you add a link to handmade from your website, blog, Facebook etc if you have one. If you are unsure how to do this we can supply "how to" info.
