Call to Artists: Holiday Ornament Show

Calling all artists, makers, and crafters! Submit your original, handmade ornaments for a chance to be featured in DFAC's annual Juried Holiday Ornament Show—one of the area's favorite holiday shopping events. Accepted ornaments will be displayed and sold from early November through December 24, alongside DFAC's Invitational Holiday Exhibit, reaching thousands of holiday shoppers. Artists receive 60% of each sale and are automatically entered into the Holiday Ornament Contest, with cash prizes awarded for Most Sparkle/Shine, Most Creative, Most Humorous, and Staff Favorite.

Submit one sample ornament between August 3–7, 2026 (final deadline: 3 p.m. on Friday, August 7) for jury review. Accepted artists will be notified on August 14, with final ornament drop-off on October 19–20. Whether you're a returning participant or joining for the first time, this is a great opportunity to share your creativity, connect with the community, and be part of one of DFAC's most beloved holiday traditions.
