BEHIND BOOTH ORCHARD
A year, a source, a visible gap.
Every listing represents one dated edition. We do not turn last year’s application into this year’s opportunity.
Start with the organizer
We use organizer-owned event pages, public exhibitor documents and the application platforms linked by those organizers. Aggregator listings can suggest leads, but do not establish a critical fact. A posted date must explicitly belong to the edition year.
Where a newer, explicit application announcement supersedes an older FAQ, the record explains that choice. Unresolved contradictions stay disputed. A page mixing 2026 prices with 2027 announcements does not establish 2027 prices.
Keep different costs different
Application or jury fees, booth fees, deposits, electricity, corner upgrades and tax conditions have separate meanings. A deposit credited toward a booth is not added a second time. We only associate a price with the footprint, position and category actually stated by its source.
We never use the cost of a visitor ticket as a booth price. We do not describe an unverified fee as free. A restricted option, such as a returning-vendor space or emerging-artist table, keeps that restriction.
An application label can expire
Upcoming records are due for a source check at least weekly. A record with a verified deadline within 14 days is due every two days. Once that check window expires, “accepting applications” changes to “recheck needed.” A past edition cannot remain in the accepting filter.
A published deadline passing removes a record from the accepting filter even when an old source still says apply. Waitlists, future opening announcements and unconfirmed status are separate labels. On a date-only deadline day we ask readers to confirm directly rather than invent a closing time.
These are editorial update targets. No recurring collector is running in the initial local delivery. A collector failure does not update the source check timestamp.
Leave the missing pieces visible
Not verified means the checked sources did not establish the fact for that edition. It does not mean the organizer has not published the information elsewhere. Partial records remain marked and excluded from indexing until the critical facts pass review.
Calendar exports are only available for explicit, reviewed dates. Without a verified closing time they are all-day reminders, not a representation that an application stays open until midnight.
Review before publication
Candidate extraction, schema validation and publication are separate steps. A local model can suggest fields and changes but cannot publish them. Each released dataset has a source evidence digest and an audit record. Corrections also require review.
