Instructions

Around 80 vendors are accepted to each event. 

Participants will be selected by the Woodlawn Business Association (WBA) Promotion Committee. This Committee is forthright in acknowledging that they reserve a select number of spots for each market in 2020 for new applicants. This will include, but not be limited to: those who have never applied/participated in the Woodlawn Street Market, new to Birmingham, or new to selling their product. Special consideration is also given to Woodlawn residents and those working with Woodlawn Urban Main. 

After participants are selected they are required to pay a $40 NON-REFUNDABLE market fee to hold their space - this is per each market. 

A Participant is defined as the person that grows or makes the product they are selling, or provides the service they are sharing. This may also include the participant’s family members, partners and employees. 

Participants should be located in the Greater Birmingham or Central Alabama area.

Participants must be at least 16 years of age. Younger participants will only be allowed to sell at the market when accompanied by an adult.

All artwork, craft-work and handiwork sold is preferred to be the original hand-made creation of the participant. The committee reserves the right to accept participants that don't follow this criteria at their discretion, particularly making certain that those goods or services are not hindering the sales of other participants. 

Participants will be selling under the WSM business license and will remit the state/city/county taxes of total sells to WSM at the end of the event.

I understand the aforementioned indemnification.

I understand WSM cannot accept every applicant and does their best to limit the number of vendors per category.

I understand that if I am accepted I must pay a NON refundable "market fee" of $40 to confirm and secure my space per market.

I understand as a participant I am committed to staying the duration of the market. This includes set-up, market hours of 10-4pm (unless otherwise noted, as in 5-9pm for night markets).
