Bootblack Stand Time

Contestants will be given specific assembly time and location at the Thursday orientation. Exact stand hours will be provided at least two weeks ahead of time.


Contestants will work the stands for several hours both Friday, May 22 and Saturday, May 23 with a majority of the stand time on Saturday. 


Judges will be looking at Bootblacking skill, client interaction, and passion for the craft. 


Contestants will be guided by staff from the assembly area to and from the stands and a staff member will be present for the duration.


There is no requirement for your attire, and you should wear what you would usually wear to work a stand.
