Rebel Junk Vendor Recognition
Best Booth
Awards
We love a booth that stops shoppers in their tracks. The Best Booth Awards recognize vendors who bring creativity, strong merchandising and unforgettable Rebel Junk style to the market.
A Great Booth
Sells the Experience.
The Best Booth Awards aren't about who spends the most money or brings the fanciest fixtures. We're looking for vendors who make thoughtful use of their space and create an environment shoppers want to enter.
Strong merchandising, creativity, cleanliness, product presentation and overall customer experience all matter.
BOOTH Market Award
Build Something Shoppers Remember.
Our team will walk the market and look at booths through the eyes of a shopper. We're looking for spaces that feel intentional, creative and easy to shop.
You do not need to enter. Every eligible vendor booth is automatically considered.
Best Booth Judging Criteria
Does It Stop You?
A strong booth catches the eye from the aisle and gives shoppers a reason to step inside.
Is It Easy to Shop?
Merchandise should be visible, organized and displayed in a way that helps customers discover great pieces.
Does It Feel Original?
We love thoughtful displays, unexpected details and booths that show a vendor's own personality.
Does the Layout Work?
Great booths use height, depth and clear pathways without overcrowding the space.
Is It Finished?
Clean displays, hidden boxes, clear pricing and attention to detail make a booth feel professional.
Does It Feel Welcoming?
The best booths are inviting, comfortable to browse and supported by friendly vendor interaction.
What Winning Booths Usually Do Well
Give shoppers one great visual moment they can see before entering the booth.
Draw the eye upward with shelving, signs, ladders or layered displays.
Let special pieces stand out instead of burying everything together.
Your booth should look interesting from several feet away.
A strong booth still looks intentional after merchandise starts selling.
Your booth should feel like your brand, not a copy of someone else's.

How the Award Works
Set up your space with your normal Rebel Junk market inventory and branding.
Eligible vendor booths are considered without needing to enter separately.
Booths are evaluated using the overall display and shopper experience.
The winning booth can be recognized during or following market weekend.
We are looking for creativity, thoughtful merchandising and a strong customer experience — not expensive fixtures. Vendors can create incredible displays using vintage furniture, repurposed materials, simple signage and creative ideas.
Look at Your Booth From the Main Aisle.
Before shoppers arrive, walk 10–15 feet away from your space and look back. What catches your attention first? If nothing does, create one stronger focal point. If the booth looks cluttered, remove something. The view from the aisle matters.
