Applications for Handmade 2010 are open.
How to apply for a stall: Please read the information below and fill out the form at the bottom of the page.
If you were previously on a waiting list from 2009 we will require you to re-apply for 2010 as we are no longer keeping a waitlist.
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.
Applications are assessed on receipt and must accompany examples of your work in the way of high resolution photographs or a website. The quality of the examples you submit will have a direct bearing on your chances of acceptance.
As you would already know we will be holding Handmade at the beautiful Kamberra Wine Company. We will be using all 3 functions rooms, paved areas and the outside lawn areas.
All 4 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.
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. Once you have paid and your market application processed there will be no refund for that market.
Please note it will be 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.
Upon receiving a notice of Offer full payment will be required within 2 weeks. Sites are reallocated to the next person if payment is not received by the due dates.
