Did you ever wonder how many different ways a group of deep, dark, luscious, rich, ravishing, and Beautiful Red beads could be interpreted? The second Tri-Society Bead Challenge is issued to the members of the Los Angeles Bead Society, Orange County Bead Society, and members of the San Diego Bead Society as an opportunity to answer that question.
The second annual Tri-Society Bead Challenge is an opportunity to demonstrate your creativity by designing a piece of work with the Red beads provided by the committee. There are a few rules for participation, however none that will limit your creativity. Stretch your imagination, design something unique: Jewelry, body adornment, sculpture, architecture, fantasy, art or…? What you create for the contest will be limited only by your imagination.
All entries will be reviewed by a distinguished panel of judges, and six (6) CASH prize categories will be awarded. Categories are: Fantasy – wearable art, Jewelry- body adornment, Mixed Media, Educational, Seed Beads and Functional Art. All entries in The Bead Challenge will be displayed at the April Bead Bazaars. We hope you are excited by the 2007 Tri-Society Bead Challenge and inspired to participate in this special event.
