Vendor Guidelines:
The Utah Flute Circle, the Zion Flute Circle, and the Arizona Flute Circle invite you to participate in the Zion Flute & Drum Festival and celebrate the rhythms’ of mother earth with us. This music and art event will be held in one of the most beautiful spots on earth, Springdale, Utah. Website: www.ZionFluteFest.com.
- Vendor space is available for those who wish to participate, however space is limited. To guarantee availability, submit your application early.
- New Vendors: Please submit four (4) photos of your work to be exhibited as well as a photo of your booth as it will be displayed. If this is not available, submit a photo of a grouping of artwork displayed as it will be shown in the festival. A panel jury will independently review all entries for quality, originality, diversity, and booth presentation. The goal of the Festival is to present a variety of quality products.
- We are asking that all vendors (art and flute) donate an item to the Silent Auction. This event would not be possible without the revenue the silent auction generate for us. Please send a picture and description of the item to the webmaster for inclusion on the website. Your bid sheet at the silent auction will identify you and your booth space, so this is a great way for you to advertise. Flute makers – your flutes will most likely be played and critiqued by many potential customers.
Vendor Fees:
- Vendors who participated in the 2011 Festival may submit applications and pay booth fees on or before February 28, 2011, to guarantee a booth space. These vendors will not be assessed a jury fee. After this date, guarantees will expire and all vendor applications will be considered equally until all booth spaces are filled.

- A jury fee of $25 will be charged to all vendors that did not participate in the 2011 Festival.
- Vendors need to provide marketing materials to the webmaster so the website can be updated to include your product information. This is a great opportunity for you to advertise.

Other items of interest may be manufactured items with a theme in alignment of World Peace or Mother Earth, underlying themes of the event. This new category of juried items must not compete with any handmade vendor items. Any vendor that wishes to sell items of this nature MUST have these juried by the festival committee.
