And 3 More Bonus Winners:

At this year’s Pop Shop Houston Summer Festival, you the Attendees and the Exhibitors will Get 2 More Votes! Plus a third winner is chosen by us. Just pop by the front desk of the Festival and pick up a Ballot to Vote. You will get to vote for your Favorite Product – whether it is a print, men’s grooming product, selection of vintage clothing, crocheted creature, gorgeously scented handmade soap or a handmade candle. You can vote for any Product that you think is the Best of the Best.

Next vote for your Favorite Exhibitor Display. Walking into someone’s pop up boutique at Pop Shop Houston Festival can sometimes feel like walking into another world. If their booth display moves you, inspires you, and gets you in the shopping mood let’s let them know.

The third winner is chosen by us and it’s a pretty easy one – the first exhibitor set up and ready to go before the festival starts will win! All 3 winners will get a Complimentary Exhibitor Space + an in depth interview about their work on the Pop Shop America blog.
