what is the selection process?

It’s pretty simple – we look at the quality of your products, the appearance of your stall display and how unique you are.

Unfortunately, we can’t accept everyone’s application but that doesn’t mean we don’t like your products - it may just mean that we are currently full in the category you are applying in! Our aim is to provide a diverse market experience for everyone who wonders under the stringybarks.
