LandOfOdds Annual Beaded Art Doll Competition

Contestants create beaded art dolls interpreting the contest theme. A short story is required that tells the tale of the doll. Both a panel of professional judges and online survey are used to tally the final results.

Entries judged in terms of:

1. INSIGHT: The Bead Artist's inner awareness and powers of self-expression through sculptural beadwork
2. TECHNIQUE(S): Creativity of the artist in using various beading stitches, as well as creating the doll's form.
3. VISUAL APPEAL: The overall visual appeal of the doll.
4. QUALITY OF WRITTEN STORY: How well the written short story enhances an appreciation of the Beaded Art Doll.
