2023 market day stallholder applications - Papercuts Comics Festival

Stallholder application form

Use this form to apply for a table at the Papercuts Comics Festival 2023 market day.

The market day will be held at Adelaide Town Hall (128 King William St, Adelaide, South Australia) on Sunday 17 September 2023.

It is FREE to have a stall at the market day. However, successful applicants will be asked to pay a $50 deposit in order to discourage no-shows. (We will make exceptions for those in difficult financial circumstances.) This deposit will be refunded in full after the event, or forfeited in the event of non-attendance (unless caused by illness or exceptional circumstances).

Questions in this application about you are for contact and statistical purposes only. Questions about your work may be used for table placement (e.g. to seat all-ages-friendly creators together).

Applications will close at midnight on Sunday 4 June 2023. Applicants will receive an email about the outcome of their application by Sunday 18 June 2023 at the latest.
