Signatures Shows are juried events. The primary basis for acceptance is the excellence of design, quality, uniqueness, originality, and superior craftsmanship of the work to be sold. Acceptance is also based on booth display, product packaging, and availability within product categories at the show.
Products: You must be the designer and the creator of the work and production of the work must be under your direct supervision in Canada. You are required to submit an outline of your production process demonstrating to the jury that your work aligns with our criteria. Gourmet Food and Body Care applicants may be required to submit samples upon request.

Application results are typically sent within a few weeks of each jury round. If you applied during the first round in February, you will hear back shortly after jurying is complete. For rolling applications, processing times may vary depending on when you applied. If it has been more than four weeks since your application was submitted, feel free to contact our office to confirm your application status.
Absolutely! We strongly encourage emerging artists and first-time exhibitors to apply. Jury decisions are based on the quality, originality, and craftsmanship of your work — not on prior experience. To support new artisans, we also offer a Next in Craft Artisan Grant that provides a limited number of discounted booths each year. This initiative helps ensure that fresh voices and new talent have the opportunity to showcase their work alongside established artisans.
Applications are reviewed in jury rounds. The best time to apply is during the first round, which takes place at the end of February each year. After this date, we continue to accept applications on a rolling basis until the show is full. Applying early increases your chances of being accepted.
We do not require a deposit at the time of application. However, you must provide a valid credit card number with your application. If you are accepted, a $300 deposit will be charged to your card, and you will be issued a contract. If you are not accepted, no charge will be made.
Your application must include a selection of images and supporting documents that give our jury a full understanding of your work and presentation. We ask for the following:
Product Images: 8 clear, professional-quality images of the products you intend to sell at the show.
Studio Images: 2 images of your studio, including at least 1 photo of you actively working in it.
Booth Display: 1 recent image of your booth display, or a detailed diagram if you do not have a current booth photo.
Gallery Image: 1 product image to be used in our online show galleries if you are accepted.
Biography & Personal Statement: Share your story — what inspires you to create, your background and passion, how long you have been doing your craft, who else is involved in your production, and the typical price range of your products.
Statement of Production Process: Provide a step-by-step description of how your products are made. Include where you source materials, what equipment and techniques you use, and details about your studio or workshop.
These materials allow our jury to fully evaluate your work, your process, and how you will be represented at the show.
Yes — exhibitors are responsible for bringing and setting up their own booth displays. This allows you to create a professional, branded presentation that reflects your work and helps you stand out. While rental options may be available for basics such as tables and lighting, table-top-only displays are not permitted. All booths must have a full display setup that meets the standards of our shows and contributes to the overall professional look of the marketplace.
