A Bead of Roses of Newtown, CT is proud to announce its 3rd annual "Bead the Best Jewelry Contest"

Date: March 18th, Sunday afternoon

Time: 1 pm - 3 pm

Fee: $30.00 per contestant

It is that time of year again for A Bead of Roses to run our "Bead the Best Jewelry Contest".  All contestants will compete for the first, second and third place titles by designing original creations using all of the same beads, findings and components they recieve in a box 1/2 hr before the contest begins. If you like watching"Chopped" on TV, then this is your version of "Chopped" only with jewery design instead of food. 

The rules have been improved over the years to make the experience enjoyable, competitive, less stressful and inspiring all at the same time.  Come on down to compete, watch and/or cheer on your fellow beaders. 

To register please call 203-304-9264, the full fee is required upon registration to secure your seat in the competition. The contest will be limited to the first 20 designers.

No outside findings can be used in the finished piece, all components, findings, beads and spacers must be used. The only thing that does not have to be used fully will be the jewelry wire, headpins and crimp beads.

All designers can use their outside tools.

As always, we encourage all of the competing designers to use their innovative skills to impress the judges.  All contestants will be allowed to view the contents of the box 1/2 hr before the contest begins (staring at 12:30 pm).

A portion of the proceeds benefit The Kennedy Center of Bridgeport, CT.
