  • Applications are due to the Cypress Recreation & Community Services office no later than 5:00 p.m., Friday, September 9, 2011.

SCREENING

  • The goal of the event is to provide a wide variety of quality handcrafted merchandise.
  • The annual Cypress Holiday Bazaar is a juried show and screened and selected by a Screening Panel. All decisions are final and cannot be challenged.
  • Due to the nature of a juried show, items are screened anonymously to avoid preferential or priority selection.
  • List all of your original handmade and handcrafted items on your application. If accepted, you may only sell the items listed.
  • Applicants MUST submit at least four (4) different photographs of their work with their application. The Screening Panel will select vendors based solely on the photographs submitted. Please assure photos clearly depict handcrafted items being sold. Photos will not be returned.
  • The Screening Panel has the right to:
    1. Limit the number of vendors offering the same type of merchandise. For example: jewelry, clothing, soap, etc.
    2. Reject an applicant even if they have been a past vendor.
    3. Reject any applicant if they feel the quality or nature of the display will not complement the Bazaar.

The City of Cypress asks that you distribute these fliers to neighbors, friends and family members. Promotion is key to any event, and the more the event is publicized, the more shoppers YOU will have the day of the event.
