2026 Market Application

Thank you for your interest in our 2026 Geekery Market!

 

PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING:

  • Round One applications will be reviewed and decisioned by February 14th
  • We are a JURIED event, which means we limit the amount of authors, artists, and crafters per category in order to ensure the best sales opportunities for all artisans.
  • The more unique your wares, the better your chances of being accepted.
  • Certain categories: crochet, 3D printing, candles, jewelry (etc.) are often very competitive and get filled quickly. If this is a smaller portion of what you sell, you may consider excluding these types from this market to focus on your more exclusive items.
  • It is important that you list ALL types of items that you plan to sell, and inform us of any changes prior to the market. Your acceptance is based on the description you provide, and if we find that description is no longer accurate, it may impact your ability to sell at this and future markets.
  • If you have questions, reach out!  Email merrymayhem@charlottegeeks.com
