New Beading Contest @ Beads Amore'!

We are trying something new here at Beads Amore'...a beading contest for our customers! We get to see all of the great things that you guys make from our beads and supplies and we want others to see them as well. What better theme for us to start with here in Indianapolis than BLACK & WHITE for raceday. We are hoping that this is something that people will get excited about and we are looking forward to doing more contests with themes. Starting now through May 31st you can bring in your item to our 82nd Street store to be photographed for our state-of-the-art website. After the 31st our customers will be able to vote online for their favorite piece. The winner will receive a $25.00 Gift Certificate and runner up will recieve a $10.00 gift card! Here are the rules:

1) The item MUST be comprised of beads and supplies purchased from either of our Beads Amore' stores or our online bead store. You can use non-bead related items purchased from elsewhere if it is something that we do not sell (i.e. feathers, felt, leather).

2) The item can be a necklace, bracelet, earrings, a whole set, brooch, purse, wearable accessory, home decor item or whatever you can come up with!

3) The item must be made by you.

4) The item must be primarily black and white/clear. It can be made of semi-precious stones, seed beads, metal, wire, glass beads, etc. so long as it is primarily black and white/clear. It doesn't necessarily have to be race themed.

5)You must bring the item to our 82nd Street store to be photographed by the 31st of May. We are unfortunately unable to accept e-mailed photographs of your item. All entries will recieve a 15% off coupon.

6)After the 31st of May, all of our customers will be able to vote which of the items is their favorite and that one will be our winner!

7)Only one entry per person per contest.

8)Employees of Beads Amore' and their families are not eligible. Sorry, Paris and JoJo...maybe next year!

We love your work and we want everyone to see it. We hope that everyone takes advantage of this opportunity! Good Luck!
