Application to take part in the 2026 Young Traders Market campaign

---

Thank you for deciding to apply to participate in YTM 2026.

Please be clear that submitting this application does not guarantee a place in the regional events or the National Final at the August Bank Holiday weekend. You must also be under the age of 31 on August 28th 2026 (later you will be asked to provide proof).

Confirmation of your submission will be sent to you, and we will you know if you have been successful as soon as possible. Please be patient – the YTM programme for 2026 is still being detailed. You will receive confirmation of your successful registration,  which will also contain further details of the campaign.

Do not re-submit your entry — this causes confusion.

Be aware that you must accept the GDPR terms and conditions at the foot of this page in order to submit your application.
