Applications open Saturday, February 15 | Applications close Saturday, March 15 | Applicants will be notified if they are accepted or waitlisted Tuesday April 15 | Booth registration and fees due by May 15 | Synchronous Vendor Orientation and FAQ in early June, an asynchronous orientation and the recording of the synchronous orientation will be sent out after for reference.

Unfortunately, we do not have access to indoor booth spaces this year. We will have more volunteers helping provide breaks, refill water, etc. to support all booths. We will also have a spot for people to fill 5 gallon buckets for misters and water. We will prioritize electricity requests for accessibility. | This year's festival is free to attend for all!!

This year, SLC Pride is moving to a sliding scale model for artisan/nonprofit organization booth fees. Please reach out to vendors@slc-pride.org if you have questions! | Sliding scale allows more established artists, businesses, and organizations to contribute more. We strongly encourage ally owned businesses and organizations pay on the higher end of the scale to help us support smaller queer owned businesses and organizations. | Please reference the following sections for a breakdown of the sliding scale and recommendations. | If you want to share a booth, reference the Booth Sharing and Shared Booth Fees sections below for details and the sliding scale. |  Food Booths and Trucks are not a part of the sliding scale. Please see Food Booths and Trucks Fees section below for more info.

The sliding scale range for Artist/Small Business 10x10 booths is $150-$400, $250 is recommended. | Artist/Small Business 10x20 booth sliding scale is $500-800. | This year, we do not have the option to pay for preferred placement so we can continue prioritizing accessibility requests. | In the application, we ask if you are able to pay the recommended fee, above the recommendation, or below the recommendation. This is only so we can balance out income/expenses. Sharing that you will pay below the recommended fee will not affect your acceptance, it will help us better understand the financial needs of our community.

The sliding scale range for Nonprofit/Organization 10x10 booths is $150-$400, $275 is recommended Due to the decrease in overall booth spaces, we will not be offering 10x20 booths for nonprofits/organizations. Our goal is to have as many artists, small businesses, organizations and nonprofits as possible so we are limiting double booths to artists/small businesses only. | This year, we do not have the option to pay for preferred placement so we can continue prioritizing accessibility requests. | In the application, we ask if you are able to pay the recommended fee, above the recommendation, or below the recommendation. Sharing that you can pay below the recommended fee will not effect your chances of being accepted. This is only so we can balance out income/expenses. Organizations that can pay more help us support smaller, grassroots organizations and businesses.

Shared booths are available again this year for artists/small businesses/organizations. You will be permitted to share a booth with up to 2 other vendors, three 3 vendors total. How you divide up the space is your responsibility. How the booth fee, listed above, is divided is your responsibility but we ask that, as a booth, only 1 fee is sent to the SLC Pride team. For example, 2 vendors split the booth fee evenly. Vendor 1 Venmos Vendor 2 and Vendor 2 pays SLC Pride. This helps ensure that booth fees are paid and gives you, as the vendors sharing the booth, more flexibility in how the fee is divided. |   Each vendor must apply and be accepted individually. In the application, each artist must list the other artists they would like to share a booth with. SLC Pride does not coordinate booth sharing, all coordination is the responsibility of the vendors. Food vendors cannot share booths. | The sliding scale for shared 10x10 booths is $200-$500 | The sliding scale for shared 10x20 (double) booths is $500-$800

Food booths and trucks will not have a sliding scale fee. There is a flat $500 fee needed to confirm your spot. In addition, SLC Pride will get a 15% commission on all sales after the first $2500. For example, if you sell $4000 in the weekend, $1500 of that is subject to the 15% commission ($225). | Due to SLC Pride hosting drink sales, FOOD VENDORS CANNOT SELL DRINKS otherwise agreed upon. Please email Shannon (FoodVendors@slc-pride.org) with questions.

Vendors are required and expected to vend both days of the festival. We encourange helpers! We will have overnight security but do recommend taking precautions to protect your inventory and set up overnight. SLC Pride isn't liable if anything is stolen, broken, etc. Please ensure you have read through SLC Prides vendor policies on SLC-Pride.org. Continuing with this form will be your acknowledgement that you have read and understand our policies. | SLC Pride does not have any equipment (tents, chairs, tables, weights, etc.) for rent. If accepted, you are responsible for providing everyone needed for your set up including 200lbs. of weights for 10x10 canopies. | All booths are also required to provide proof of insurance. Further details and resources will be provided with acceptance emails. We recommend ACT insurance which is $49 per event or $25 per month.

Given our current political climate, we want to share some of what we're doing to keep our community safe. In the planning stages, we have switched all our forms, documents, spreadsheets, etc. away from Google or other platforms that risk digital safety. We are also limiting access to documents with sensitive information like legal names, SSN, etc. Please use your preferred name in this form! If accepted, you will receive a registration form which is where we will request sensitive information. We will never ask for sensitive information over social media, email, text, etc., only through the registration form. | During the festival, we will have bag checks for attendees and on site security. The security company we work with requires ongoing anti-bias training and has participated in the Inclusion Center for Community Justice's trainings as well. We prioritize deescalation. We also have EMTs on site. | If you are concerned about a scam using the SLC Pride name/logo, don't hesitate to reach out over the emails provided above.
