Here’s everything you’ll need to submit to make your Craftfest experience smooth, impactful, and stress-free! You will receive two submission forms in total to collect the following.

Submission Form #1: 10-Miniute Basic Info
Due Date: August 26th, 2025 (For new speakers September 16th)

Once you’ve confirmed your spot, you’ll receive a submission form link to provide your basic info.

We’ll need:

• Your full name + workshop title (so we can reserve your chosen topic)
• A short bio to introduce you to attendees
• A square headshot for the speaker page and promotional graphics
• Which Cricut machine(s) you will feature in your project

This info helps us build out your dedicated speaker page and ensure our promo materials are ready to shine the spotlight on you.

Submission Form #2: Workshop Class and Resources
Due Date: October 28th, 2025

You will receive a second form to submit all the final workshop materials. This is the heart of your contribution—a fun, friendly workshop that helps crafters gain confidence and create something amazing.

Your Pre-recorded Presentation

What to include:

• A warm intro to who you are (on camera or voice-over is fine!)
• A clear overview of the project + supplies used
• A Design Space screen share to walk through the setup
• A step-by-step tutorial showing how to build the craft
• A 3-minute pitch at the end to promote your freebie, product, or offer (optional)
• Two high-resolution, well-lit photos of the final project for promo graphics. One square photo and then one vertical or horizontal if your project is oriented that way.

Presentations should be 20–40 minutes, casual but clear. Don’t stress about perfection—we want it to feel approachable.

Here is a full example of one of Abbi's speaker pages from a past Craftfest and a video explanation.

Project Template

Each workshop should include a project file/template that attendees can use to follow along.

• Available for free during your 24-hour workshop window
• Included in the VIP Access Pass after that
• Note: We do not require email sign-ups for the workshop templates to provide a better attendee experience, as they are not required to sign up for 50+ email lists. We have surveyed our audience and found that this deters viewers, which will decrease views and sales for our speakers. Operating in this manner, we received an overwhelmingly positive response from both speakers and attendees.

3-Minute Pitch Capturing Leads from Your Workshop (Optional)

1. Another product, membership, or course you wish to feature.
2. A call-to-action to join your email list to get access to your freebies, allowing you to collect warm leads
3. A call to action to visit your site or a specific post that will convert to leads. 

VIP Access Pass Bonus (Optional, but Highly Encouraged!)

We’d love for you to contribute a digital product to the VIP bundle. This helps increase the perceived value of the pass—and puts more eyes on your work. Speakers who contribute to the VIP Pass consistently see higher conversions and grow benefits.

You could offer:

• A mini-course
• A printable or eBook
• A 1-month membership
• Bundle

You can either upload the item directly to us or provide a 100% off coupon code and a link to your product. We ask that the bonus remain available for at least 6 months.

Run a Giveaway to Grow (Optional)

Including a digital or physical prize is a great way to boost your visibility even more! Your giveaway can drive traffic to your email list, a specific page, or your social profiles. With the eyes of both Abbi's community and our collective communities, we've seen speakers gain thousands of new subscribers to their email list from giveaway participation.

Please submit your giveaway details along with your workshop materials.
