OUR PROCESS:
Vendors will first apply to the Tampa Bay Markets Organization Application for the October 2025 - September 2026 season. (The link is provided in the ‘steps to apply’ section below.)
Once APPROVED in theTBM 25.26 main organization application, vendors will receive a Marketspread comment (so please check your Marketspread notifications inbox regularly) containing their approval letter inclusive of a linked document with all the private registration links and market profiles to register for any of the markets and events we operate.
Vendors will then be able to register for booking consideration for any individual markets with market dates from October 2025 - September 2026 upon receipt of approval status in the TBM 25.26 main organization application.
TBM Market Managers will be reviewing individual market registrations and building their rotation schedules for each market through June and July.

What Happens After I Apply?
Our team will review submitted applications to ensure insurance, equipment, applicable licensing and product requirements are met with the appropriate uploaded documents and photos.
If we require additional information, clarification or corrections on any documents you provided in your application, our review team will send a comment via Marketspread comments, which will be visible in 3 places:
1. The comment sent will generate as an email notification to the primary email address you have associated with your Marketspread profile. It is essential that you ensure Marketspead is a ‘safe sender’ in your email inbox, so you do not miss our notifications or they go into a SPAM or promotional filter.
2. The Marketspread comment will also generate a notification in your Marketspread dashboard’s notification inbox (the white flag icon at the top of your dashboard).
3. All Marketspread comments sent regarding the TBM organization application or for a specific market application will always be visible at the very bottom of your application once submitted.
Once a vendor’s application is APPROVED by the TBM organization, each vendor will receive an APPROVED status for their application and their approval information sent via Marketspread comments - which will include a linked document with all the private registration links and market profiles to register for any of the markets and events we operate.
