Two cupcake businesses? Not a problem. In general, we will let market forces play out, though we will let later entries know if another applicant has a similar idea so the later entrant can decide what to do.

The fair will be a tented outdoor event with booths. Each business will need to supply their own 6-foot table, full-cover tenting, and 1-2 chairs. Tablecloths will not be provided. We are not able to accommodate businesses requiring electricity.

Unfortunately, we are not able to provide electricity to the booths.
How does judging work?
Participants will be evaluated by a panel of community judges who will visit each booth during the event. Judges will speak with the young entrepreneurs about their business ideas, products/services, branding, and overall presentation.
What categories will be judged for the cash prizes?
Most Creative Business Concept — Awarded to the participant with the most original, innovative, or unique business idea.

Best Booth Presentation & Branding — Recognizes outstanding booth design, signage, packaging, and overall professionalism in presentation.
What are judges looking for?
Judges will consider creativity, originality, effort, booth presentation, branding, communication skills, and overall business execution. The goal is to encourage and celebrate entrepreneurship, creativity, and confidence in every participant.
When will winners be announced?
Winners will be announced near the end of the event following the completion of judging.

This event is designed to give children the experience of selling a product or service.

Parents of younger children may sit in the booth, but the children should be responsible for set up, customer interaction, and sales.

Parents may help their child fill out the application, but we expect the children to do as much as possible by themselves.
