Dublin Maker - Open Call 2025

Dublin Maker - Open Call 2025
Dublin Maker will be held on Saturday the 30th & Sunday the 31st of August in Leopardstown Racecourse. It is a free-to-attend, community driven event. Dublin Maker takes the form of a "show and tell" experience where inventors/ makers, sourced through an open call, will have the chance to showcase their creations at individual booths in a carnival atmosphere.

It will be a family friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the maker movement. Its a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning. We welcome all sorts of submissions in all shapes and sizes.

Don't worry about finesse, don't worry about polish! If your project looks like its been thrown together in the garden shed so much the better. We love that! Check out our website www.dublinmaker.ie to see what sorts of ideas we have seen in previous years when we have held similar events.

If you need help filling out this form, if you have accessibility needs or if your idea doesn't fit this sort of for,m please do drop us an email info@dublinmaker.ie

This open call is being extended until the 16th of June!
