The Ugly Necklace Contest
A Jewelry Design Competition With A Twist
Call For Entries – 3/15/10 Deadline Is Approaching
Yes, an UGLY Necklace Contest. Here's your opportunity to show your design skills, your visual acumen, your senses and sensibilities. Can you put together a well-designed and functional, yet UGLY, necklace? The Eighth Annual The Ugly Necklace Contest for 2010 is offering a first prize of a $992.93 shopping spree on the Land of Odds web-site (www.landofodds.com), and a Runner-Up prize of a $399.07 shopping spree on the web-site.
We need photos!
Ugly Necklaces. You've seen them! Perhaps you've even worn them. Perhaps you've been reluctant to tell someone that they were wearing an Ugly Necklace. Perhaps you've hidden some of your own-designed Ugly Necklaces somewhere in your bead room or closet. Perhaps someone you loved gave you a very Ugly Necklace. Now's your chance to make something truly Ugly, and have great fun with it. And even win a prize!
It’s Not Easy To Do Ugly!
Your mind and eye won’t let you go there. As research into color and design has shown, your eye and brain compensate for imbalances in color or in the positioning of pieces and objects – they try to correct and harmonize them. You are pre-wired to subconsciously avoid anything that is disorienting, disturbing or distracting.
Enter to Win!
Entering is easy. Take three good color snapshots or scans of your necklace, and write a short poem about it. You've got until March 15, 2010, to send your entry to Land of Odds, The Ugly Necklace Contest, 718 Thompson Lane, Ste 123, Nashville, TN 37204.
From the entries submitted, up to 10 semi-finalists will be selected. Photos of their necklaces will be placed on the Land of Odds web-site. Visitors to the web-site will be asked to score each Ugly Necklace. Based on the combined votes of judges and on-line visitors, a Grand Finalist and a Runner Up will be selected and awarded prizes.
Click for Official Rules. Or, you may obtain a copy of the Official Rules by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Land of Odds, 718 Thompson Lane, Ste 123, Nashville, TN 37204. You may view the work of previous semifinalists on-line, as well, at www.landofodds.com/store/ugliest1.htm
