Arts & Crafts
Fair - 2008
What
is this show?
Mom's
Weekend at WSU brings Moms from all over the northwest to be with their WSU
student for the weekend. This is a very busy weekend on campus & has been a
very successful fair for vendors. When
considering applying for this show, keep in mind that there likely is not any
motel accommodations available since Mom's weekend typically fills up rooms in
Colfax,
The
Jury Process
This is a juried show. Selection
is based on quality, creativity, and originality with an eye towards attaining a
wide variety of crafts at this show. We
accept only original work made by the artist on site (no imports, work from
kits, or prefabricated wholesale items). We
may rarely allow commercial products, on a strictly limited basis, where the
criteria for acceptance is based upon the uniqueness of the product.
If you are sharing a booth, each vendor’s items must be juried.
For new applicants, we would like at least 3 representative photos of
your work and a photo of your booth setup, if possible.
This is also required if you a making a major change in what you are
selling. If accepted, please expect
that we will hold your pictures until the show and return them to you at the
show. If not accepted, we will
return your check and your pictures along with an explanation.
Prior participation
on our show does not guarantee acceptance into any present or future shows.
We reserve the right to reject any application.
Advertising
We have
established a web site address and plan to list the vendors who are attending
our show on the web site. We will be
listing by Business Name and City and type of craft.
We will use the vendor’s name if there is not a business name
available. If you have a
web site or an e-mail address that you would like us to publish or link to,
please let us know.
Our general advertising begins in a general way two months before the show and
goes into high gear 2 weeks before the show.
It includes electronic billboards, highway signs, newspaper advertising,
listing in phone books, Listcrafter, posters, various internet calendar
listings, and thousands of flyers that are distributed over the entire WSU
campus.
Booth
Spaces
Standard booth size is 6 1/2 x 10 feet,
booth and a half is 6 ½ x 15, Double is 6 ½ x 20. There will be an 8 foot
walkway through the center of the concourse with booths on either side.
(We cannot accommodate 10x10 setups). We
do assign booth spaces as applications are received and approved.
Chances of getting any special booth placement requests are increased by
early application date as well as participation in our previous shows.
Once again, first come, first serve along with the product being sold and
the quality of the product tends to determine who gets in as well.
A new vendor with a unique product may be accepted while a long-time
vendor who applies late may get turned down if their “category” is full by
that time – e.g. candles, soap, jewelry are categories that may fill up
quickly.
WSU
Trademark Information
The WSU Trademark Officer
regularly attends craft fairs in our area specifically to check on trademark
infringement. Many of our crafters are licensed by WSU to use
the Cougar logos. If someone
comes with items already made up and without a proper license, our Trademark
Officer takes their business card and contacts them later about the problem, but
we would like to have everyone in compliance--it is only fair to those vendors
who are carefully following the rules.
Anyway, contact the WSU Trademark office by calling 509-335-2202 or
checking this website http://www.clc.com/
