Calling All Makers!

Produced by the folks who bring you MAKE magazine, Maker Faire celebrates things people create themselves -- from rockets and robots, to DIY science and technology, to sustainable foods and upcycled clothes.

Maker Faire invites Makers to submit projects for this year’s 9th annual festival. At this flagship Maker Faire, we'll be selecting the best-in-class exhibits. Please take time with your entry and provide as many details as you can along with a photo, video and interactive exhibit plans.

Ensure you have a complete and detailed application by the February 23rd deadline. We are closing the application process sooner, so we can notify you earlier of your acceptance and give you more time to prepare. There are limited spots, and we want you to have one.

When:
Saturday, May 17: 10am-8pm
Sunday, May 18: 10am-6pm

Where:
San Mateo Event Center
1346 Saratoga Drive, San Mateo, CA

How to Apply

Submit an entry form here that tells us about you and your project. There are four applications to choose from: Maker Exhibit, Performer, Presenter, and Sponsor.

If you do not yet have a Maker Profile, you will be prompted to register for an account before you gain access to the application. Your account registration is not your application. 

Entries can be submitted from individuals as well as from groups such as hobbyist clubs, schools and organizations. Please provide a short description and photograph or video of what you make and will actually bring to Maker Faire.

After your application has been submitted, you will receive a confirmation email with your Project Name in the subject. Please be sure you've gotten this. We'll send all notices to the email address included in your application.

We particularly encourage exhibits that are interactive and that highlight the process of making things. Check our website for ideas on topics and areas that we're looking for.

Enter early so we can reserve space for your exhibit.
