Announcing The 2017 Cleveland Flea Vendor Scholarship Award

Events Cleveland Flea August 24, 2017

This year we've tried a lot of new things at The Flea. We changed the layout. We added more booth spaces. We worked to bring more out-of-town vendors to the Cleveland area. We even added a new event (remember Food Flea?). Well, we still have one more surprise on the horizon. This year we will be awarding the first Cleveland Flea Vendor Scholarship Award. Thanks to the amount of money that we were able to bring in at ticketing this year(oh yeah, ticketing...another new thing!), we've been able to create a fund for the betterment of businesses selling at The Flea. If we've sparked your interest, please keep reading... there are all sorts of fun details about the vendor scholarship award below, including a little bit about how shoppers can help decide who is awarded the two $500 checks!


HOW IT WORKS... ABRIDGED

No late entries will be accepted. This award is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Instagram.

  • Cashing-In: At least two separate $500 awards will be awarded to eligible participating vendors.
