The festival steering committee will screen all applications using these photographs as reference. The committee reserves the right to select exhibitors through this process. All decisions regarding selection of the exhibitors are the sole discretion of the committee and are final. If an applicant should be denied participation, a full refund of booth fees will be mailed to the applicant. A preference will be given to handmade/handcrafted items.
