Stands
Fifty stands are being set up at the festival grounds for women's cooperatives and local producers. Applications are received as pre-applications; payment is requested by us after your application has been reviewed.
50 Stands
The stands stay open throughout the three festival days, bringing cooperative products, handicrafts, textiles and regional flavours to visitors.
Who Can Apply?
Priority goes to women's cooperatives; local producers and artisans are also welcome to apply.
How It Works
Submit your pre-application; the festival team reviews it, contacts you, and only then requests the participation fee.
From pre-application to confirmed participation
The process has four stages. No payment or receipt is required at the pre-application stage.
1. Pre-application
Fill in the form below and submit your pre-application. No payment or receipt is required at this stage.
2. Review
The festival committee reviews your application for product category, stand capacity and compliance with the rules. Priority goes to women's cooperatives.
3. Contact & payment request
Successful applicants are contacted by phone; the participation fee is then requested and a personal receipt-upload link is sent to you.
4. Confirmation
Once your payment and receipt are verified, your application is confirmed, your stand is secured and you appear on the participating cooperatives wall.
Fee & payment
The participation fee for 3 days is 15,000 TL. Requested by the festival team from applicants whose pre-application is approved, and paid in advance. No payment is made at the pre-application stage.
Bank account details (IBAN) will be sent to you by the festival team after your pre-application has been reviewed. The IBAN is not published on this page; please do not make a transfer before a payment request reaches you.
