Hand Born is looking for youthful, cutting-edge makers of anything handcrafted such as clothing, journals, recycled art, jewelry and more! The cost to participate in this years event is $60 + 1 item (valued at $20) which will be used in our silent auction to benefit The Place (People Learning Acceptance Creating Equality). If you are interested in participating as a vendor, please start step one of the application process:

Step 1: Submit items for approval. How to submit items: submit photos as attachments via email to webmaster@handborn.com. Be sure to save them in a .jpg format at 300dpi (these may be used for printed ads such as The Modesto Bee so make sure they are saved correctly). Once your items are approved, we'll send you an email with a link to the entry form. Please note that you are NOT considered a confirmed vendor until you have filled out the entry form and submitted your entry fee.

Why do your items have to be approved? We have very limited space and we want to make sure that we have a wide variety of products as well as items that fit the youthful audience we are promoting to.

Step 2: Submit entry form. (You will receive a link once items have been approved)

Step 3: Submit $60.00 entry fee via Paypal. To avoid confusion, entry fee must be submitted within 1 hour of submitting entry form. *Please be sure to include your name and business name in the comment section of your paypal payment form.

Step 4: Arrive for setup. Once you've completed the entry form and submit your entry fee, you will receive a confirmation email. On the day of the event, confirmed vendors need to arrive for setup between 4:30 and 6:00pm. Please check in at Deva Cafe (located at 1202 J Street, Modesto) to find out where your booth space is. At that time, we will also ask for your donated item.

All vendors must be setup by 6:00pm. We DO NOT provide tables, chairs, display cases or clothing racks. Booth size is 5'x4' and we recommend you bring a standard 3'x3' card table. Legs must be collapsable in order to fit through front door. You may also want to bring extention cords and lamps. We do have a few tables available upon request. Sizes are 3' x 3' and 4' x 2.5'. Please email us for availability and to reserve one for your booth.

Step 5: Don't forget to bring change! Make sure you have enough change to last the entire event! Also, vendors are responsible for paying their own taxes from their sales at this event.

Step 6: Have fun, mingle with other craftsters, be inspired, and make lots o' money!!!

We will not be accepting any applications submitted after Monday, November 23
