  • Please re-size photos to no more than 800 pixels, save the image file as "your name, category" (ie, Nicole Hanna, Mixed Media) and send as an attachment (not embedded in the email).  Following these submission guidelines assures your entry is not missed! A good, clear image is highly recommended. Note: Photoscape and Picasa are both free programs suitable for image re-sizing and photo editing. Photo editing apps for smart phones and tablets, such as "Resize Me!", can be used as well.
  • Once a photo is submitted, the submission may not be withdrawn or replaced, so be sure your are happy with your entry!

Failure to follow these rules and submission guidelines may disqualify you from the contest.

Judging & Voting:
  • An album has been created on Pinterest which will contain the submitted entries, for viewing. Entries will be added to the Pinterest board as they are received. This board may be found here. 
  • I will pick my top three favorite entries from each category, on which (only) participants may cast their votes. This is a peer-to-peer voting format. The top three entries from each category will be posted within a blog post on Nicole Hanna Jewelry for final voting.
  • Participants may vote by commenting on the voting blog post with the name of their favorite in each category (comment: "Name, Category"). Only one vote per person, per category. In the event of a tie, I will choose the winner.
  • What entries are judged on: Innovation: A new technique or combination of techniques, unique or out-of-the-box designs, multi-purpose or convertible jewelry (a brooch to pendant), and jewelry that embodies the idea of wearable art! Execution: Regardless of design, execution is the goal! Clean lines, finished ends, no tool marks and even weaves are just some examples of the importance of execution in the wire wrapping and weaving world. Presentation: Clean and clear photos.

Note: By submitting an entry to the 2016 Design Challenge, you are granting Nicole Hanna permission to display your image online for the purposes of promoting or running this contest.
