Subject: [KwartzLab] Maker Expo 2018: Exhibitor Applications NOW OPEN!<br>
<br>
Dear fellow makers,<br>
<br>
We are very excited to announce that the Maker Expo 2018 Exhibitor<br>
Applications are NOW OPEN!<br>
<br>
Because there are so many incredible makers in our community, we've decided<br>
to double the size of our event this year!<br>
That means 2x the exhibitors, 2x the space and 2x the days! Join us at<br>
the *Kitchener<br>
Memorial Auditorium* on *June 2nd and 3rd, 2018*!<br>
<br>
*Our application deadline is April 20th, 2018; however we will be making<br>
early acceptances.*<br>
<br>
We’re looking for Makers, Artists and Organizations to showcase their<br>
amazing creations. Whether you’re an individual, group or team, if you have<br>
something to show off, demonstrate, WE WANT YOU!<br>
<br>
We’re currently accepting applications for the following categories:<br>
<br>
- *Showcase *(participants will get to see your finished creation and<br>
discuss it with you)<br>
- *Maker Demonstration* (participants will get to watch you make<br>
something)<br>
- *Hands-on "Make and Take"* (participants get to take something home)<br>
- *Hands-on Making Experience* (participants get to make but don't keep<br>
anything)<br>
- *Art Installation* (participants get to experience your show or<br>
interact with your creation)<br>
- *Exhibitor Grants* (we will be offering a limited amount of money to<br>
exhibitors who want to run a workshop or build an installation specifically<br>
for the Expo)<br>
<br>
Please note that we will *not be accepting vendor applications* at this<br>
year's event.<br>
<br>
Our focus is on interactivity and inclusivity — we want to celebrate a wide<br>
range of topics and disciplines, including, but certainly not limited to:<br>
<br>
3D printing · Agriculture · Arduino · Arts · Computing · Crafts · Electric<br>
Vehicles · Electronics · Engineering · Gardening · How-tos & Education ·<br>
Metalworking · Model Aircraft & Flying Machines · Paper Arts · Robotics ·<br>
