ABOUT THIS APPLICATION: (some things may appear different if registering on your phone or tablet)

  • You'll need to submit a maximum 100-word description (approx. 600 characters) for the website and promotions.

  • When done with the application, hit the "Submit Application" button. After that, the page where you filled out the form should be blank.

  • After hitting the "Submit Application" button, IF the page is still there and doesn't go to the Paypal page, then there is likely an error in your application. You may see an error message at the bottom that says "Please fill in required fields" if you missed a required question; or you may not, if it's a different problem. Either way, scroll back up the form to find a required question that was not filled out or not filled out properly. (OFTEN it is because you have gone over the 600-character limit in your description.) Answer or fix, and then submit again.

PAYMENT:

  • Once you successfully fill out and submit the form, you'll be automatically taken to a Paypal page no matter how you indicated you intend to pay. Your total registration amount will be given there. SORRY, NO REFUNDS unless your application is refused by us.

  • No Paypal account is needed to pay at Paypal; YOU MAY PAY ONLINE WITH A DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD. At the bottom right of the Paypal box, you may select “Pay with a debit or credit card” instead of using a Paypal account. 

  • Fee must be paid in full with application to be considered complete. To pay by check, inquire with the Food Vendor Coordinator at: food@enlightenedsoulexpo.com.

  • After submitting the application, you'll receive an email confirmation message. 

REMINDERS:

  • Food vendors will be located indoors. Please supply your own tables; Skyline High School does not have enough of them to offer to all vendors. We can provide chairs.

  • You must have any food serving licenses that are required in accordance with State of Michigan law.

  • We are limiting the number of food vendors and types of food vendors, so filling out the application does not guarantee your spot. You will be refunded if we already have a food vendor selling the same or similar food items.  

  • For those who wish to stay overnight in Ann Arbor, blocks of hotel rooms will be arranged for Expo weekend.
