Vendor FAQs

Booth & Display

  • Each booth fee includes a 15 amp electrical connection, wifi, booth draping (in Dove - a shimmery natural linen colour), promotion via our social media channels, and one photo & link to your website on ours during the lead-up to the show.

    The booth draping consists of an 8ft high back wall and 3ft high side arms. If you would like to make any changes to this (ex: raising the side arms to 8ft), please request this via the vendor order form that will be on the Maker Login page a month prior to the show. A fee from our draping provider will apply.

  • All of these items must be brought along by yourself.

    If you decide to bring along carpet or rugs and want to tape it down, please be advised that the Red River Ex only approves of Scapa tape to be used on their floors. This tape can be purchased from our draping provider, Central Display.

    Central Display has various display items (ie, tables, chairs, lights) available for rent. Their order form will be available a month before the show.

  • Yes! This applies for the spring show as well.

    We dim the overhead lights and add our own stringed bulbs to create our signature cozy, festive atmosphere.

    It is very important that you bring additional lighting to showcase your product. Display lights that cast a wash of light over your product work best, but table/floor lamps can also do the trick! If you need any reference photos of past well-lit booths, feel free to send us an email at info@thescatteredseeds.com.

Applying

  • Spring 2026 Market
    Applications open Nov 15 - Dec 15

    Fall 2026 Market
    Applications open Jan 15 - Feb 15

  • The application form lists all pricing and sizing options.

  • Scattered Seeds primarily features handmade work. We ask that the majority of elements of your product are made or designed by yourself. This is juried on a case-by-case basis, but if you have questions feel free to reach out!

    You will be juried on the following criteria:

    Booth – We look for creative, professional looking booths that will appear inviting to customers. We do not expect you to provide a built booth, but we do look for displays that are more extensive than a table and tablecloth.

    Display Lighting - As we dim the overhead lights and add string lighting to the venue, it is crucial that you bring enough lighting to showcase your product.

    Product & packaging – Uniqueness, quality of craftsmanship, and whether it is current to today's market.

    Quality of photos - We look for well-lit and nicely composed photos that are ready to be posted on social media (this means no collages or watermarks, please!)

    Website & social media presence - While we take this into consideration, it is not a requirement to be active on social media.

    Category - Some categories (ex, bath & body, jewelry) are more popular than others so the competition can be tough!

  • Spring 2026 Applicants
    We will be in touch no later than Jan 15.

    Fall 2026 Applicants (including reapplicants from 2025)
    We will reach out by March 31.

  • Each weekend hosts an almost entirely new set of makers! We love this model because it allows us to give opportunities to not only the vendors you love to see each year at Scattered Seeds, but also many newer, up-and-coming makers.

  • We strive to keep our market affordable but we understand that applying is not a viable option for everyone. We have a limited number of 10’ x 6’ scholarship booths offered at 55% of the regular fee.

    In order to qualify, this must be your first or second time participating in Scattered Seeds. If this sounds like you, fill out a regular application then send us an email at info@thescatteredseeds.com letting us know you would like to be considered for a scholarship booth. We don’t need any personal info, however we do ask that you provide a brief write-up stating how the scholarship will benefit you/your business.

    Please note that these booths are reserved for emerging makers who may be experiencing financial difficulty.

  • Yep!

    On the application there is a spot to indicate that you would like to booth share & state the name of the maker you plan to share your space with. Each vendor must submit a separate application.

    The fee to booth-share is $75. Both vendors will receive their own photo and link on our website and will be advertised on our social media separately.

    It is possible to carry handmade work from another maker in your booth without paying the fee, but only the applying vendor’s name/business will be advertised. Please include all work you plan to carry in your booth in your application.

  • Please note: This applies to Fall show vendors only.

    The re-application window for Fall 2026 is October 1 - November 15.

    While reapplying does not guarantee a spot, those who are accepted will receive first access to their preferred booth size and weekend, and will avoid any potential rate increases should they occur.

    All applicants (both new and returning) will be juried in February to ensure the market remains fresh and thoughtfully curated.

    If we’re unable to offer you a booth, we will notify you once jurying is complete (no later than March 15) and refund your payment in full.
