I admire the valuable information you offer in your articles. I will bookmark your site and have my friends check up here often. I am quite sure they will learn lots of new stuff here than anybody else!

It is very interesting topic you've written here..The truth I'm not related to this, but I think is a good opportunity to learn more about it… And as well talk about a different topic to which I used to talk with others.

I make these for a living! I'll make sure to get in my application form very soon

Are there any specifications to what beads to use?

Big problem with the whole Facebook/Twitter thing all my family seem to use them and are well connected but I must be too traditional and just can’t bring myself to join – Much prefer face to face or telephone interaction

Nice one, I know I can make better than that.

As is true to form there are lots of differing opinions about what constitutes good jewelry design. I say, don't worry about it and just throw your hand in! Why not? It's free to enter.

As to requirements:
"All jewelry forms, such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants, rings, etc., will be considered, and we hope to capture a diversity of forms."

Work will be juried by Ray Hemachandra

From Ray: I want to emphasize using professional photography with excellent focus, background, contrast, and color. Beaded work is notoriously difficult to photograph well, and because this is a book of photographs, the image quality is just as important in jurying as the excellence and originality of the beaded jewelry the photographs capture and celebrate—I’ll select good work in a great photograph over great work in a poor photograph. I often advise artists that it can be worth having professional photography done even if your pieces end up not being juried into the book, because then you have professional images available for various marketing uses—for website, business cards, brochures, submissions in competitions, etc.

Best of Luck!! -Nova

Beaded jewelry is a very special product. Some of my friends use their smart phone to get quotes on new jewelry. I get my cell phone service free! http://delaughter.org

All of us have skills of designer ( with different taste of course!)
I really appreciate this action which is gonna bring in the podium people from their own work!
Never stop the creation!!!!
