And that is us in a nutshell! If you have any questions about any of the above or beyond, don’t hesitate to reach
out to us at . If all of this sounds good to you, then let’s get started!
W H Y W E ' R E O N E O F A K I N D
You are the designer AND heavily involved in the production of your work.We are looking for makers of all sorts, from traditional to technological and creative to commercially-driven.
Our criteria for production and scale will differ for each category, so applications are considered on a case-
by-case basis. Take care to outline your production process in detail, to show the jury why you are One Of A
Kind. Beyond that, we are looking for work that is creative, innovative, cohesive, respectful of copyright law
and other cultures and that avoids saturated trends.
For over 40 years, One Of A Kind has been the place for the best Canadian makers to show and sell their work.
We've fostered generations of handmade enthusiasts, helped new artisans become celebrities of craft and
created a powerful community of creative small business owners.

You Reside AND Produce Your Work in Canada or the United StatesWe want consumers to support the local economy and creative community, so every item for sale in the show
must be made in Canada or the United States. Any manufacturing help must be locally sourced, but not all
raw materials must be. Designing products and having them produced overseas is NOT something we permit.
You Get Our Exclusivity PhilosophyWe put our hearts, minds and considerable resources into creating a shopping experience that brings
hundreds of thousands of people out to shop from our makers each year. We ask that you help us create this
exclusive shopping experience by ensuring that your products are not available in other consumer shows 14
days before, during and 14 days after the dates of our event within a 30-km radius of the Show.
W H A T Y O U ' L L G E T
As trends in technology and commerce change the landscape of craft, we are committed to providing a platform
that meet the needs of modern makers. But there are some things that will always stay true about One Of A Kind,
so start by taking a look at our acceptance criteria below to make sure our show is the right fit for your business.
