Featured Product Contest: May 2012


For May, it’s all about bringing out the big guns. Stainless Steel may not be for the timid but that doesn’t mean it can’t be tamed into something truly delicate and beautiful. We recently replaced our stainless steel stock with rings made from a much easier to manipulate wire, so if you’ve been intimidated in the past, now might be the time to give it another try. If you you’ve never worked with stainless steel before, we recommend playing around with the rings in our Try Before You Commit pack.

Note: If you liked the wire we were using before, check out our Stainless Steel sale – it will only be up another week or so, so don’t hesitate!

To see what this metal can really do, we recommend checking out this post featuring Melissa Banks – a well known steel wrangler – or visit Rebeca’s website for a few images of steel pieces she has created (like the one to the left.)


HOW TO PARTICIPATE:




Make a project which primarily uses our featured product. The project can most definitely use other rings and components, but the featured product should really be the star of the piece. Please see the complete rules and details below for more information about qualifications.




Take a picture of your project and submit it using our official Featured Product Contest form (link below.) You may post the piece online somewhere and provide us with a link, or upload it directly in the form. You will be asked to provide your name and an email address we can use to contact you in case anything goes wrong with your submission—or if you are the winner of the contest!

GO TO THE SUBMISSION FORM

Submissions are closed at midnight CT on 15th of every month and are limited to 2 entry pieces per person.




Get Votes! Submissions will close on the 15th of each month at which point the B3 Staff will choose our favorites. The top entries will be eligible for voting through a survey which we will post to our blog. If you are one of the finalists, feel free to share the link with friends via email, Facebook, Twitter or any other means.

Voting will close on the last day of the month.


 


We will award the top voted finalist each month with a $25 B3 Gift Certificate and will feature YOUR project in a special blog post and possibly even future B3 ads to inspire fellow chainmaillers all over the world.




Complete contest rules and details: Submissions are limited to 2 per person and must use the featured product of the month as determined by Blue Buddha Boutique. The project is not required to be made from Blue Buddha Boutique rings, however any winning projects that use primarily rings from another supplier or rings made by the artist will not be eligible for posting on our blog or use in our ads to prevent false advertising. Pieces do not have to be specially created for the contest but should be no more than 12 months old. Current employees and interns of Blue Buddha Boutique are not eligible for this contest. Finalists are chosen by Blue Buddha Boutique and voted upon anonymously by the public to determine a winner. Submissions may be disqualified at the discretion of Blue Buddha Boutique if they are deemed inappropriate in any way. If a winner does not claim their prize within 15 days of notification, the second place winner will be awarded the prize.

Did you realize that the heading is “Featured PRODUCE Contest”, not Featured Product Contest? Was that intentional?
