ENTRY QUALIFICATIONS: Applicants must be the designer and creator of all work sold
at Gifts Galore. All work will be judged for quality, uniqueness, salability, design,
originality and appeal. No imported work will be accepted. New Artisans applying
must show 5 samples of their work plus a photo of their display (if possible) to be juried
for the show. Past Artisans need only to submit photos via email showing their new
work. Hand made work is carefully juried to ensure limited/exclusive representation of each category to the best of the show’s ability. No products can be
sold at the show unless approved by the coordinator.
Juried Applications: Applications will be accepted on an on-going basis until spaces are
filled.
TABLE DISPLAY/REQUIREMENTS: Displays are becoming bigger and more creative,
however, due to space constraints, Artisans are requested to be flexible & innovative with
their displays. Artisans are encouraged to provide professional, attractive displays to suit
any location in the facility. If you use props other than a table, please make a sketch on
the back of your application form, this helps to place you in a suitable location. It is imperative that your table be covered with a cloth and skirted TO THE FLOOR on three sides. Items stored under your table should not be visible. Staples, pins, tacks,
nails, etc. may not be used to secure skirting to the table. You are not allowed to secure banners to the walls, however, you can attach them to the front of your table. You are
encouraged to make the best use of your booth space. Exhibitors who are selling food
items must have their health permit available at the show at all times, as Food Licensing
Officers may audit the show.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION: Please indicate if you have any specific requests for your
space, such as “against a wall” or “in a corner”. Gifts Galore will do its best to
accommodate your requests, but please note that not all requests will be possible.
FEES: All fees (registration and table) are Non-refundable. Please keep a copy for your
records.
WIFI: Wifi will be available at the venue. Passwords will be made available on day of
show.
STOCK: It is imperative that Artisans have sufficient stock to last the duration of their
participation in the show. An Artisan’s table must NOT be dismantled prior to the end of the show. SHOW PROMOTION: Artisans are asked to display Gift Galore cards at shows they are
participating in leading up to this show. The coordinator will do everything possible to promote this show and would like the opportunity to help promote You the Artisan, by allowing the coordinator to put a photo of you and your display on the Gifts Galore Facebook page and website.
REMEMBER to advise all your customers of the Gifts Galore show dates and hours
either via email or by sending a card.
RAFFLE: Gifts Galore will be holding a raffle with the Grand Prize being a $150.00
Shopping Spree at the show on the Sunday. We ask each Artisan to make a product donation with a value of $20.00 to this Raffle and to please include your Business Card. Please give your donation to Carolyn during setup. We will have up to 100 Gift
