Less than 2 days left of Call for Makers!

 

All good things must come to an end, and the Call for Makers for Vancouver Mini Maker Faire 2012 is no different. We’ve had some excellet Makers apply over the last 10 weeks, and I can’t wait to share some of them with you via this blog!

 

But it’s time to finalize the planning for the event, and as such Saturday May 19 will mark the end of the Call for Makers. If you’ve been putting off applying, now’s your last chance to get in! So head on over to the Call for Makers page, and fill out one of the application forms.

 







NEW! Short-form Maker Application

We’ve received feedback from numerous awesome people that the application forms for Makers were rather intimidating, as they required all the information about a Maker and their projects to be filled in up-front – sometimes far before the actual details were solid enough to really put in writing.

 

To address this issue, there is now a Short-form Maker Application! It’s really short, and shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes to fill out.

 

Don’t forget to check out all the information on the who, what, why, and how of being a Maker at the Call for Makers page, then take 2 minutes (I promise!) to fill out the Short-form Maker Application, and you’re good to go! It doesn’t get much easier than that.

 

As always, I can be contacted at makers@makerfaire.ca with any questions you have.







Vancouver Mini Maker Faire 2012 Call for Makers is live and Applications are open!

We’re excited to announce that the Call for Makers for Vancouver Mini Maker Faire 2012 is now live! Applications are now open for Individual Makers, Maker Groups, Startup Makers, and Commercial Makers.

 

Please pass on the news to all the makers, doers, and creatives in the community!

 

 

Call for Makers

 

For makers, Vancouver Mini Maker Faire is a community-run event aimed at bringing Vancouver’s Makers, Doers, and Creatives together for a weekend of sharing knowledge, inspiring each other, exhibiting projects, and community building.
For attendees, Vancouver Mini Maker Faire is like a science fair meets farmers’ market meets Burning Man (with pants) – for families!

 

The 2012 Vancouver Mini Maker Faire will be held on the weekend of the 23rd and 24th of June at the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE). Early-bird applications from Makers are due by April 21st, and qualify for a 20% discount. Final applications close on May 19th. But don’t delay until the last minute as the earlier applications will help direct how we layout and allocate the space; so the sooner you apply, the more weight your requirements will have on the event and the better we can work to accommodate your needs!
