1. Tallinn and Tartu Street Food Festivals try their hardest to keep the environmental impact of the festivals as minimal as possible. Hence, food vendors at the festival are subject to several requirements and it is very important to us that those requirements are fulfilled. During the process of choosing our vendors, we prefer food vendors who share our views on keeping our environment clean.
2. TSFF (Tallinn/Tartu Street Food Festival) calculates the carbon print of the festival. All of the food vendors are obligated to fill out a questionnaire concerning transportation (transportation means, distances) and waste management after the festival.
3. TSFF’s environmental coordinator will notify all vendors of waste management rules at the festival in advance. Following the rules is obligatory for all food vendors. The organisers reserve the right to immediately suspend the vendor’s activities when they are found to be violating the rules.
4. TSFF requirements for serving food and drink:
   1. drinks can only be served from deposit-subjected cups (the circulation is managed by Topsiring)
   2. food can only be served from reusable or biodegradable dishes, no exceptions allowed (the festival has several partners who are prepared to supply dishes fulfilling the requirements)
   3. This festival is free of plastic straws. Drinks can only be served with straws when the straws are reusable or biodegradable.
   4. The organisers reserve the right to immediately suspend the vendor’s activities when they are found to be violating the rules.
5. TSFF assumes responsibility for sorting and organising waste management as well as supporting visitors in making environmentally friendly choices.
6. We will reduce food waste and encourage all participants to donate any leftover food or ingredients to charity at the end of each festival day.

1. Food vendors, who are prepared to offer (street) foods that can be cooked on spot, are easily carried and consumed are expected to apply. We also expect applications from vendors, who offer sweets, ice cream, juices and smoothies or hot beverages. However, the organisers will limit the number of such vendors taking into account the concept of the festival.
2. The sellers of ready-made products (packaged ready-made meals, packaged cookies, pastry, candy, packaged tea etc.) have the lowest priority of participating at the festival.
3. No separate temporary vendor places will be allocated for selling solely alcoholic beverages at the festival (such as bars or beer tents). Alcoholic beverages may only be sold through food vendors at their vendor places, and if a vendor wishes to offer alcohol to visitors, we ask you to to cooperate with certain food vendors. TSFF only allows the sale of alcoholic beverages no stronger than 22 %.
4. Food vendors have the obligation to offer at least one “light meal, snack or mini-dish” at the cost of 3 euros maximum for the visitor. The aforementioned dish must be reflected in the food vendor’s menu on the spot.
5. We ask you to submit your idea for a Good Food for an Estonian Celebration upon applying as this serves as one of the main criteria in choosing our vendors. When the food vendor is chosen to participate, the food created based on the presented idea must also be offered at the festival.
6. We expect the food vendors to be ready and capable of preparing and selling at least 400 units of food per day.
7. Our festivals are international and approximately 20-25 % of our visitors are foreigners, so we expect our food vendors to be prepared for serving customers in English as well.
8. Food vendors will be selected on the basis of the following criteria:
   1. whether the food vendor meets the requirements of application;
   2. any prior experience of cooperation at festivals organised in Telliskivi Creative City or Tartu Widget Factory;
   3. the uniqueness of the vendor’s choice of products, menu and layout as well as the thoroughness of the conception according to the information provided upon applying;
