They changed the rules again this year for Bead Dreams and have excluded Ceramic/earth clay again. Same happened last year and they changed the categories. This year we are getting the "Oh well, we can't please everyone."
We would just like the category of "Handmade Beads&Buttons" put back in. The thought is it's TOO difficult to judge all mediums against each other. Give us all a break, oils, watercolors, acrylics etc. are judged against each other in the art world.
Been talking about in the forum http://cs.beadandbuttonshow.com/bnbshowcs/forums/t/12105.aspx
Thanks for posting these contests, so much easier than going to search them out.

Lots of contests out there, aren't there? And they get better every year.
I always like to see the results of these contests. People do **amazing** stuff with little beads -- I'm always blown away. (And hide my little necklaces under my collar...)
I've got links to save!
We also run two contests at Land of Odds.
