Okay Auntie's Beaders, it's time to let your competitive sides show! We are very excited to announce the beginning of Battle of the Beads, a customer driven design contest that will place our bravest customer designers head to head in a ruthless fight for the votes of their peers!  Okay, maybe not ruthless, but intense!  Why?  Well, because of our FABULOUS PRIZES!

*We require that you use predominately Auntie's Beads products.  We understand that a finding, a clasp, an accent bead, etc. may come from elsewhere, but we request that you submit designs with a spirit of showing off the work you've done with Auntie's beads.  We will accept or decline entries at our own descretion based on this rule so please do your best to follow it.

After September 30th when all entries have been submitted, the competition will begin!  In bracket form, pairs of designs will compete against each other head to head on the blog.  Photos of both competing designs will be posted together and all blog viewers will be permitted to click and vote for the one they like better.  Voting periods will last 24 hrs.  Winners from each competing pair will advance and compete against winners from other competing pairs.  We will continue to narrow the pool of competitors in this way until we have our top two competitors! Then, the final two designs will compete against one another for the highest number of votes and claim their prizes.

 

We have seen some AMAZING work from our customers throughout the years and we are very excited about holding this contest and rewarding you guys for all the hard beading work you do! 

 

Good luck everybody!
