Beading Contest
Honoring Native American Heritage
Deadline for submission: February 29th
Diane and the staff at TBC invite all of our beaders to
challenge themselves in creating a piece of beadwork INSPIRED by
the works of our early Native Americans. Beadwork is not
juried, and pieces do not need to be official representations of
any particular tribe or technique. Simply be creative and write
a short paragraph about what inspired your work.
THREE CATEGORIES:
I. STRINGING (jewelry, ceremonial, etc.)
II. APPAREL (leather, bags, etc.)
III. FORMS (dolls, bowls, etc.)
Contest Rules:
1. The majority of the beads and materials used in beadwork must
be purchased at Tatnuck Bead Company. "Found" items from a
personal collection will be allowed in moderation.
2. Designs must be original. No copies of beadwork (from
magazines, display jewelry, online). Unoriginal pieces will be
disqualified.
3. One submission per person. Please include original beadwork,
name, phone number, one paragraph and indicate which category
your piece is to be judged in.
Top Prize: $50 Gift Certificate
Honorable Mention: $10 Gift Certificate
1. All entries will be placed on display during our Tucson
Trunk Show in our Worcester store location this March.
2. Top Winners in each category will have their beadwork
photographed by Bead Ambition and posted on the Tatnuck Bead
