How to Apply
The first step to participating in Maker Faire is to submit an entry that tells us about you and your project. Entries can be submitted from individuals as well as from groups such as hobbyist clubs, schools and organizations. Please provide a short description of what you make and what you will actually bring to Maker Faire. Be sure to link to a photograph or video of what you make to 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.

If you are an indy crafter, and your primary intent is to sell your products at Maker Faire, please apply to Bazaar Bizarre. Bazaar Bizarre is an independent craft faire within Maker Faire. Applications open at the end of February.
Enter early so we can reserve space for your exhibit.
