The Bead Museum of DC Contest

Posted by Maire Loughran Jul 13, 2008

I've just finished an article about the Bead Museum of Washington DC. For any jewelry artist, this is a worthwhile stop should you be in DC.

What I didn't mention in the article is that they have a beading contest for which they are accepting submissions.

The deadline electronically (emailing jpgs) is 8/8/08. I know, it doesn't leave alot of time. But if you have a progect underway or finished one previously it's worth a shot to enter it.

The contest fees range from $35 to $140 depending on how many items you submit. These fees help support the Bead Museum so they do go to a worthy cause.

I find gemstone beading a little tedius. If I ever get the time I want to start forging my own metal beads and interspace these with gemstone beads. Maybe someday.
