SELECTION PROCESS
Previous participation at Spring Daze does not guarantee acceptance for this year. The Festival Committee reserves the right to deny entrance into the festival to any business whose work is deemed to be inappropriate or to not meet the festival’s standards. The Committee also reserves the right to remove from the show (without refund) any exhibit that is not comparable to the submitted images. The work on display must be as similar as possible to the images submitted with the application.
Vendors will be selected by the Cary Festivals Committee. They will review vendors using the following criteria: fit for the festival, previous experience, uniqueness of the craft or activity, price points, and overall look of booth/setup/art.
