Vendors!



Calling all junkers, artisans, and vendors of curious goods!



The 15th Annual JunkFest will be here 
whether we're ready or not...before we know it!



**VENDORS, PLEASE READ THIS INFO BEFORE APPLYING FOR THE SHOW!


JunkFest is scheduled for Saturday, September 7, 2019.


~~Our Friday evening event is a separate event, scheduled for September 6th and includes the JunkFest building only.  Check back here or our FB page for further information.~~


➤Please make note of the following changes:


After careful thought and deliberation, JunkFest is moving forward as a juried show.
Our decision for this move is the result of feedback from our shoppers, paired with the desire to showcase vendors and artisans in keeping with the type of event we are.  We no longer offer spaces on a "first come/first served" basis.  We are currently accepting applications for vintage/antique goods, and hand-made artisan vendors.  This includes repurposed/upcycled items, shabby chic, architectural salvage, rustic, primitive, farm finds, boutique, produce/farmer's market, baked goods and hand-crafted jewelry, accessories and goods.  Wholesale and reproduction merchandise is allowed in limited quantities only when incorporated into booth spaces with the aforementioned products.  In order to keep our "content" fresh for our shoppers, these types of vendors will be given preference over direct sales vendors.  Regardless of the type of product you sell, we encourage you to apply so that we have your information in our vendor database in the event that we can offer more space, or fill cancellations.




Online vendor forms will be made available starting 
Monday April 1st at 8:00am.  
At that time links for the online application can be found at 
www.facebook.com/junkfest or https://junk-fest.blogspot.com .




(*NOTE, we suggest printing the map to get familiar with it prior to filling out your application, then have the map handy so you can refer to it while choosing your preferred areas for booth spaces.)


⧫⧫Once you are logged into the form you will be asked:

Name
Business Name
Address
Email
Tax ID (see more on this below)
Phone
Alternate Phone
Web Site and Facebook (if you have these PLEASE share with us!)

⧫⧫You will be asked if you are sharing your booth with another vendor, and if so to list their names.  Multiple vendors in one space is perfectly fine, but we will need each vendor in the spot to fill out their own vendor form with contact information (so we can add each of you to the shopper's map), and each of you will need to agree to the JunkFest Terms and Conditions. 

⧫⧫You will be required to submit photos to be considered for our show.  These should be of your previous booth displays and merchandise or quality staged photos depicting your merchandise and style.  While we market our show as a "flea market" we are not your typical flea market.  We are looking for unique and inviting booth displays with merchandise/goods that keep our customers returning each year.  Please upload 3-5 good quality, high resolution photos indicative of your business.  These photos may also be used by JunkFest to promote your business, as time permits.  If having trouble uploading pictures, you can email them to us at junkfestgirls@gmail.com , but please do so in a timely manner after submitting your application.  Neglecting to submit photos may delay your consideration for the show.

⧫⧫You will be asked to describe your merchandise.  Please be descriptive.

⧫⧫You will then be asked to choose the AREAS you prefer, including booth size and quantity of booths.  You will have the opportunity to select your 1st, 2nd and 3rd areas of preference.  We are looking for your desired AREA only, not space numbers.  If accepted, we will make every effort to accommodate your requests, but if we are unable to place you in your desired area, you will be placed where we deem the best fit.  

⧫⧫There will also be a comment box if you have a special booth request.  If you prefer to have your application mailed to you please notify us at junkfestgirls@gmail.com with your physical address.


The application will not be complete until you agree to the 
Terms and Conditions, and click on "submit".



*At the present time you are NOT required to have a ND state tax permit to vend with us; however, we are required by the state to submit a list of our vendors, with their contact information and perspective tax permit numbers.  If you have any questions regarding this please check out http://nd.gov/tax.

*If you are on Facebook, please make sure to include it on your application.  You will be added to a private Facebook page for JunkFest vendors, with updates and information about the event. 

**Applications will be processed every two weeks. You will be notified via email regarding your acceptance into the show.  If you are accepted as a vendor, you will receive an invoice for the spaces you have been placed in.  You have 10 days from the email date to remit payment and secure your space.  Your space may be offered to another vendor if payment is not received within those 10 days.



We have a no "rain out" refund policy.  Cancellations for any other reason accepted by August 1st ONLY if your space can be resold.


Again, you can find online application and more info at 
www.facebook.com/junkfest or https://junk-fest.blogspot.com





Look for the "vendors apply" tab/button.  (If on a mobile device, you might not have access to tabs in Facebook.)  On or after April 1, you can also click
