Crafters, creators, makers and artisan spaces are limited due to a non-compete clause in our Fall contract that states we cannot exceed 20% of our vendors to be crafters/makers due to a city run Holiday Craft Show at the same venue. Our Spring event is not subject to these restrictions. Because of this, we ask that you apply for the event and based on the space left and what you make, we will be able to accept you or ask you to come back for the Spring event.
Certain artisans (example: Illustrators, comic book artisans or publishers) are exempt from this clause but we are asking you to still fill out this form to give us a better idea of what you create.

Terms:
- I understand that submitting a registration form for Geeked Out does not guarantee I will be in the event. Approvals of each registration is based on space and the number of vendors already selling similar products.
- I understand that each booth comes with 2 vendor passes to the event. If I need more than 1 helper, I will be required to pay an extra $5.00 admission for each day they come to help out (this is payable at the door). This does not apply to set-up. You can have as many people helping you as you wish for set up and tear down.
- Registration is non-transferable to anyone else without the prior consent from the organizers of Geeked Out Events.
- I am aware that I may not share our spot with other vendors/dealers/artisans, unless we all are working under the same business name and part of the same company!
- I agree to not sell any fakes or reproductions (this includes, but not limited to: Lego, Funkos, video games, 3D printed China knock offs, etc). Freedom of art is allowed.
- I agree to stay within my allotted space and will not encroach on my neighbours booths or into the aisles where customers would be walking. I will keep my booth clean and my products easily accessible for customers (no tripping hazards, etc). I also understand there will not be space between booths or behind them and will plan my set-up accordingly so I allow myself room to get in and out of my booth.
- I will not disrespect fellow vendors, customers, volunteers or the organizers of Geeked Out by packing up early. In doing so, I understand, I will not be invited back for future events.
- Cancelling my booth registration after a payment has been made means I will get a credit towards a future Geeked Out Event. If I give less than 48 hours notice or are a no-show, I will forfeit any credit and risk not being invited back for future events.
- I will read over the Vendor Guide that will be sent out in September, from top to bottom, before asking any questions. This guide will be a great tool to every question you might have about set-up and what to expect before, during and after the event. Any questions or concerns, we encourage you to email us - we guarantee we are easy to work with but we also expect our vendors to do some work themselves as well which includes reading over material we send out.
- Marketing: Not only encouraged, but it is mandatory to help us spread the word. We understand not everyone has social media (or uses it often), but you likely have friends, family, customers you can help spread the word too. VERY IMPORTANT: Do not create your own event page on Facebook. Use the one we have created! If you own / run a physical store or will be attending other events, we can get you some handouts for your customers (just ask us and we will get them to you).
