Art Competition

More than $9,000 in prize money and ribbons will be awarded at the 2025 Heritage Festival. The Award of Excellence Competition is open to all artists accepted into the festival. Accepted artists may submit up to three items into the competition.

 

Tax License (TPT)

All vendors wishing to do business in Arizona must apply through the state to obtain a state TPT license.

It can take several weeks for the state to process an application, so we encourage you to apply well in advance of the event if you do not already have a state issued TPT license which includes the city of Flagstaff. Your TPT application must be filed with the State of Arizona, not sent back to MNA with your festival application.

Both the state and the City of Flagstaff have the right to audit an event to check for proper licensing of vendors, so we encourage you to have your license with you at your booth during the festival weekend.

Indian Arts and Crafts Board

The Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-644) makes it illegal to market an art or craft item in a manner that falsely suggests it is Indian-produced. Under the Act, an Indian is defined as a member of any federally or officially State recognized Indian Tribe, or an individual certified as an Indian by an Indian Tribe.

The Museum of Northern Arizona strictly adheres to this law. In order to participate in this years market, all first time applicants, including Youth Artists, must submit a copy of a Certificate of Indian Blood or a tribal enrollment ID along with at least 3 photos of their work. Photos of work should include artist signature, hallmark, or stamp.
