2007 Contest Update: A change since last year's contest is that designs focused around shell, bone, wood, bamboo, ceramic and other natural materials will now be entered in the Alternative Materials category. We have combined the Nature and Alternative Materials categories since past years have not yielded many entries for them separately. Here's your chance to show us what you can make out of the various natural and alternative materials Rings & Things offers!

The quality of images we received last year was much improved over previous years. Thanks to all of you who worked hard to meet our photo guidelines! This year we will continue to use a simplified version of Zapplication's (ZAPP's) guidelines. Following these rules (you won't need to create a Zapp account) ensures that your entries will achieve an image-quality consistent with those of your competitors. Plus, your photos will be formatted to a standard used in art-fair applications and other contests. That means less work for you in the long run!

2007 winning entries (with credit to the designer) could be featured in our catalog and promotions. That's exposure to more than a million people a year, worldwide! You can turn around and use this for "as seen in" promotions of your own.

And if you're just plain tired of making all things beautiful, check out the ugly necklace contest!
