Woodlawn Street Market 2021 Vendor Application

PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY: 2021 WSM Vendor Information

Approximately 50 vendors are accepted to each event. 

Participants will be selected by the Woodlawn Business Association (WBA) Promotion Committee. A select number of spots in each 2021 market is reserved for new applicants. This will include, but is not limited to: those who have never applied/participated in the Woodlawn Street Market, those who are new to Birmingham, or those who are new to selling their product. Special consideration is also given to Woodlawn residents and entrepreneurs working with REV Birmingham's Woodlawn Urban Main team.

The number of vendors this season is limited to 50 participants per market to follow the WSM COVID-19 safety plan. Vendors will be safely spaced, and masks are required. See safety plan details at woodlawnstreetmarket.com.

After participants are selected, they are required to pay a $25 NON-REFUNDABLE market fee to hold their space; this fee is per each market. The WSM team has reduced the 2021 market fee (from our standard $40 fee) to make the market more approachable in a challenging time for small businesses. If WSM must cancel a market date and a vendor has paid their participation fee, that paid fee will be credited to a future market that the vendor can attend. 

A participant is defined as the person who grows or makes the product they are selling, or provides the service they are sharing. This may also include the participant’s family members, partners, and employees. 

Participants should be located in the Greater Birmingham or Central Alabama area.

Participants must be at least 16 years of age. Younger participants will only be allowed to sell at the market when accompanied by an adult.

All artwork, craft-work and handiwork sold is preferred to be the original hand-made creation of the participant. The committee reserves the right to accept participants who don't meet this criteria at their discretion, particularly making certain that those goods or services are not hindering the sales of other participants. 

Participants will be selling under the WSM business license and will remit the state/city/county taxes of total sales to WSM at the end of each event.

I understand the aforementioned indemnification.

I understand WSM cannot accept every applicant and does their best to limit the number of vendors per category.

I understand that if I am accepted I must pay a NON refundable "market fee" of $25 to confirm and secure my space per market. (This season, if WSM has to cancel an event date and a payment has been received for that date it will be credited towards a future market date the vendor has been invited to.) 

I understand as a participant I am committed to staying the duration of the market. This includes set-up, market hours of 10-4pm.
