HOW WE DECIDE:

• Each event incorporates at least 12 (about 25%) new dealers.

• We strive to offer a variety of every era, price point, taste, and style perspective within the context of vintage clothing in our final roster.

• Dealers can opt to share a booth, upon approval. Both dealers should apply separately, and please note in your application that you are interested in sharing.

SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES WILL HAVE:

• A thorough sense of style represented in visual merchandising.

• Active, brand-dedicated social media presence.

• Proven success with in-person sales events.

• Commitment to show promotion (reposting social media assets, posting fliers, word-of-mouth).

• Reputation for professionalism.

TIMELINE for MADISON SPRING 2026:

• For the Madison Spring 2026 event, we will send a "heads-up" email out to previous vendors to gauge returning interest.

• All applications submitted before March 1st, 2026 (8 weeks ahead of show) will be considered for the Madison Spring 2026 show.

• We add every applicant to our list of future show notices—including dates and deadlines.

• Acceptance letters for the Madison Spring 2026 show will be sent on March 9, 2026.

• We notify “standby” applicants the right-of-first-refusal in the event of a late dropped commitment.

2026 COMMITMENT:

• 2-day indoor event, 10’x10’ booth, secure overnight storage = $450

• Optional combined ‘super-booth’ = $50 per pairing (example: combo open-concept booths #1+#2 would contribute $25 / ea.)

We value everyone’s applications every season and keep record in case an opportunity arises for future MVF events or within the vast network of former participants of MVF. Thank you for your time.
