Swell is a 3-day camping weekend hosted by Outspring. This is an event designed for outdoorsy women with a marketplace of outdoor brands made for and by women. Outspring is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive space for women of color to showcase their products and/or offerings and connect with customers. As part of our efforts to encourage and support BIPOC-led outdoor brands, we are offering a limited number of scholarships for eligible vendor applicants. The scholarship is designed to increase access and visibility with a niche market of outdoorsy women.
If you are interested in applying for a scholarship, please fill out this form and submit it by Aug 6, 2023. An advisory board will review your application and we will respond to all applicants by Aug 11.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for the scholarship, you must meet the following criteria:
*You must identify as a member of the Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC) communities.
*You must have products and/or offerings for purchase that align with the vision and mission of Outspring and helps make the outdoors more accessible, comfortable and fun.
*You must be available to fully participate as a vendor at Swell 23 in Liberty (Ogden Valley), Utah, including Brand Networking on Friday.
*You must be willing to participate in a pre-event interview and a post-event survey to share your feedback and experience.
The regular booth fee for a ReadyMade Booth is $1500 and includes 2 campers/1 campsite/1 vehicle. If you are granted a scholarship, you will not have to pay this amount. However, you will still be responsible for bringing your own display materials, signage, and equipment.
