New for 2015! The Best of the Bazaar Awards!
During the event we will be hosting the first ever Best of the Bazaar Competition! You are not required to be part of this competition and participants may opt in or out on the application form. Booths that opt in will be given a special marker during check in and awards will be given at the Closing Ceremony on Monday morning. Booth judging and awards will be given based on several criteria including:
- Booth/Table Display
- Item Quality
- Unique Products
- Overall Magical-ness
The Bazaar Competition rewards are going to be very similar to our awards during The Merlies and are meant to be fun and entertaining. No one should feel they are actually directly competing with other crafters and just have fun!
If you have any questions, please email Deanna at [email protected]
Thanks, and Happy Crafting!
