Tangible Tidbits 2010 #6: Awards Season Is Upon Us...

The Tonys...The Grammys...The Oscars...and abeadstore.com's Beading Contest? Why not? LOL So, I know I'm new in this business, but I have a lot of PR experience (14 years) and I know nothing buys you the kind of publicity and exposure that participation in these kinds of contests can. Your work and your name gets "out there" in front of a lot of people you would never otherwise reach...people who would never see your work or hear of your name otherwise...people already interested in what you do. So, here I am, entering or planning to enter any contest I come across. ;)

The first such contest is the aforementioned contest sponsored by abeadstore.com. I came across it in an email magazine I receive from BeadStyle, I think. In any case, I've entered in all three categories: Contemporary, Traditional, and Eclectic. I've also entered one necklace, one pair of earrings, and one bracelet, which are the three kinds of items accepted. Voting begins on February 17. Check out the site for details. :)
