Those groovy kids at Earthsharing Australia have been running a short film competition about the housing affordability crisis.

Budding film makers have spent the last few months making short films, all aiming for a massive $3000 prize.  A prize sure to help pay the rent!

The Craft Cartel is super excited to be running a market at the finals night.  We'll be showing off some of the finest and edgiest crafts the Melbourne scene has to offer.  PLUS our crafty crew will be talking to the masses about how high rental prices impact on the hand made insustry. 

Us crafters know all about the cost of rent, it's the main reason we have to put so much markup on our products when they go into shops!  When you support local makers at local markets you not only get something lovely and unique to call your own, but you are also supporting your local independent industries.  Buying local handmade stuff is one of the easiest ways to help your community survive a global economic crisis.

Wanna know more?  Come along.
