Exhibitor Space Info:
Wasatch Mountain Film Festival exhibitors will be placed outdoors in front of Industry SLC. We will be closing down the street for the art market, outoor brand activations and beer garden.
10’x10’ Space: 10’x10’ of designated space to set up a “shop” in the venue. No walls, tables or chairs provided. Exhibitors who have a large display and inventory to fill the space should apply for a 10’x10′ space. Exhibitor must bring a back wall that is no more than 7′ high by 10′ wide.
Shared 10’x10’ Space for Two Exhibitors: Includes a designated space of 10’x10′ to set up a small “shop” shared by two businesses that would like to exhibit together. Half of the cost will be invoiced to each coordinating business.
Space Sharing Policy:
Applicants in the Artist Section of the beer garden and vendor village may opt to share 10’x10′ of floor space with one other individual exhibitor in this category (the “Shared 10’x10’ Space for Two Exhibitors” booth option). This will guarantee that the two artisans are placed in the same 10’x10′ area. Both exhibitors interested in sharing 10’x10′ of designated floor space must apply separately and both artisans must be accepted in order to share a space at the Wasatch Mountain Film Festival. On the application, both artisans must state with whom they would like to share. —this option is available only for 10’x10′ spaces. Only two exhibitors are allowed to share one 10’x10′ space.
About Electricity:
Due to the limited availability of electricity at the venue, it is difficult to accommodate a high volume of power users. WMFF is currently investigating and evaluating power availability but at this time options and pricing have not been finalized.
Sales & Tax Information:
The Wasatch Mountain Film Festival provides vendor mailing addresses to the Utah State Tax Commission, so exhibitors can expect to receive their sales tax form via snail mail within 2 weeks after the event. For questions (or to request a replacement Special Event Tax Form should it not arrive), please contact the USTC at 801-297-6303 or specialevent@utah.gov. Reporting accurate sales tax helps the Wasatch Mountain Film Festival track the economic impact our events have on the local economy. Please note that Wasatch Mountain Film Festival does not take any money from commission or sales of your works or products during the course of the Festival.
Exhibitor Responsibilities & Safety:
By applying and accepting the Wasatch Mountain Film Festivals invitation, all exhibitors agree to comply with the Wasatch Mountain Film Festival and venue rules & regulations.
The exhibitor assumes all responsibility for safeguarding of their products and their displays at the festival. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to insure their property. One available option that other local events have recommended is ACT Insurance, though it is up to the exhibitor to determine the best way to insure their property, and the Wasatch Mountain Film Festival assumes no responsibility in that decision.
The Wasatch Mountain Film Festival has the right to close the Wasatch Mountain Film Festival if any unforeseen circumstances occur that would affect the safety of the event attendees or vendors. Vendors are required to commit to being available for the full event at the time of application and during acceptance of their invitation. Late cancellations may affect the exhibitor’s future opportunity to participate in the Annual Wasatch Mountain Film Festival. By participating, the exhibitor understands that abuse of any kind is not welcome. Any individual who displays negative, crude, crass, belligerent or any other non-exemplary behavior that causes discomfort towards any person present at the Festival will be asked to leave. The Wasatch Mountain Film Festival reserves the right to determine what behaviors are deemed inappropriate and non-characteristic of the Wasatch Mountain Film Festival standards. We do not condone any racist, bigoted or unsafe behavior from any area of the event or within our community.
The exhibitor, when invited, agrees to hold harmless Wasatch Mountain Film Festival, Wasatch Mountain Arts, Wasatch Mountain Film Festival Coordinators, Volunteers, Employees, Board of Directors and the Venue and Venue Representatives, and Festival Sponsors for any damage, loss, or theft, to artwork, displays or other personal property, or injury to their person, regardless of cause resulting from their participation in this event.
