What’s Up Wednesday!
If you buy supplies from Fire Mountain Gems, then you should seriously think about entering their contest! I did for the last two years, and won a second and third place in two categories. Not quite as nice as being the grand prize winner, but hey! There are brand new categories this year, but the closing date is earlier: April 15, so get moving. And beading! Here’s a link to all the information available.
From the website:
Gold medal winning designs in each category will go on to compete for the Grand Prizes and may be showcased in the following:
* 2009-2010 Jewelry Maker’s Comprehensive Catalog
* On our website
* Full Page ads in top industry magazines
* Supplemental catalogsYour designs will be seen by hundreds of thousands of beading enthusiasts, along with your name and contact information, if you desire.
Oh, and monetary prizes too, good towards FMG products. That’s good too!
You wouldn’t believe how much time I spent yesterday checking which of my stuff was from the smart bargains category (contents of which are excluded from competing)
Also worth noting that the closing date is for mailed *shudders* CDs to be received – so for me that means allowing two weeks for it to reach em
I did pop over to your website – your beaded necklaces are out of this world. beautiful!
I know it’s a pain! Each time I make a piece for one of these contests, I spend too much time sorting out what I “can” and “can’t” use!
Thanks for the compliments
