Criteria and Eligibility

Signatures Shows are juried events. The primary basis for acceptance is the excellence of design, quality, uniqueness, originality, and superior craftsmanship of the work to be sold. Acceptance is also based on booth display, product packaging, and availability within product categories at the show.

Products

You must be the designer and creator of the work to be sold, with production under your direct supervision in Canada. You are required to submit an outline of your production process demonstrating alignment with our criteria. Gourmet Food and Body Care applicants may be required to submit samples upon request.

All articles offered for sale must be approved. Overlap in more than two product categories in a booth is not permitted. Selling work produced by other artisans is prohibited.

Display and Packaging

Your booth and product packaging must present a professional appearance. Backdrops and floor coverings are required; table-top displays are discouraged. Pop-up canopies are not permitted indoors, including frames only, with or without the canopy attached.

Food Products

All food items must be packaged; on-site consumable food is not permitted. Products must be produced in an approved facility with packaging and labelling that meet provincial and federal public health requirements. Sampling must comply with all applicable health regulations and approvals.

Body Care

All body care items must have proper packaging and labelling and be produced in facilities meeting provincial and federal public health requirements. Any sampling must comply with applicable health regulations.

Booth Sharing

Booth sharing is generally not permitted. Requests for booth sharing will be assessed individually. Each interested artisan must submit a separate application and undergo an individual jury evaluation for acceptance. For more information, contact info@signatures.ca.

Restrictions

Reproduction aids such as moulds and digital designs must be created by the applying artisan. Commercially manufactured products, items bought for resale, work created from commercial kits, unfinished goods, craft supplies, or products represented by dealers, agents, or franchises are not permitted. If reproduction techniques are used, a quantity of original pieces must always be displayed.

Kits or DIY Products: Permitted only if the primary components are created and designed by the exhibitor based on original designs.

AI-generated products are not permitted. Any work including, but not limited to, paintings, illustrations, drawings, sculptures, photography, writing, and digital works that are created, designed, or materially influenced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning algorithms are prohibited. This restriction includes both physical and digital forms of products.

Jewellery: Jewellery may not be sold unless specifically juried and accepted. Permanent jewellery services are not permitted at our shows unless the primary components used are original work created by the artisan.

Licensed Designs: The use of licensed designs, images or properties in your work is not permitted as the sole design unless you have a license to reproduce them. License information must be available upon request. The use of licensed designs, images or properties included as part of a greater design is acceptable if not the main element.
