Vendor Contact Information
Each space requires a $75 donation to the MPT Foundation, Inc. (MPTF). This donation includes a one-year membership to Maryland Public Television. Your membership includes access to MPT Passport, our on-demand library of programs. Your donation benefits Maryland Public Television through the MPTF, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Your contribution supports MPT's service to children, education, and the region. We thank you for your support!
Vendors will be located inside and outside the MPT building. Space is very limited and will sell out, therefore vendors may reserve only one space/location.
Indoor spaces are an 8' x 8' area located within The Irene and Edward H. Kaplan Production Studio at MPT. Please note: spaces are mostly inline, meaning you will likely have other vendors on either side of you and also behind you. In most cases, access to your space is only from the front.

Outdoor vendors must provide their own 10'x10' tent or mobile store (e.g. food truck). If you are looking for a little more wiggle room, an outdoor space may be for you. Outdoor vendors are the first and last thing shoppers see when attending the event.
Note: Cooking is permitted in a mobile store/food truck only. Food vendors proposing to cook under a tent will not be accepted.

Space is very limited. Vendors will be accepted based on the category and type of items they plan to sell. The MPTF reserves the right to accept and decline vendors at its own discretion. Please be sure to take the time to explain what you plan to sell in your space. This will help our selection committee create a well-rounded vendor pool for our attendees.
All accepted vendors are required to bring their own display materials, such as tables, chairs, shelves, signage, etc. A limited number of tables and chairs are available to rent and must be reserved in advance.
Vendors are not required to give the MPTF a percentage of sales.
Approved vendors will be notified via email by the MPTF special events team ([email protected]). The $75 donation will be charged upon acceptance via the credit card submitted with this application.
Details containing set-up information and space assignments will be emailed to all approved vendors within 2 weeks of the event. Participating vendors should be prepared to load in on Friday, November 7 between 10am and 6pm or on Saturday, November 8 between 6am and 7:30am. All vendors MUST be set and ready to sell by 7:45am on Saturday, November 8.
By completing this application, you are committing to your $75 donation and applicable rental fees, and you are authorizing the MPTF to charge the card on file upon acceptance. Absolutely no refunds will be issued.
