Lark Books 2014 Showcase 1000 Beads Looking for Entries
 
Due Feb.15th 2013, no entry fee, online

I couldn't find if this was already posted and I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I have stumbled across this twice now, and although I am not ready for an opportunity like this, I know so many of you that I would love to see published.

This is the email that was sent to my professor, and he forwarded it to me:

> We thank you for sharing this highly time-sensitive call for entries
> promptly with all appropriate colleagues, professional groups and
> associations, message boards, schools, students, and beadmaking communities:
>
> Lark Jewelry & Beading (http://www.facebook.com/LarkJewelryBeading) seeks
> excellent photographs of original, contemporary beads in all materials to
> publish in a new juried, international collection in our 500 Series of
> books: Showcase 1000 Beads. This book is scheduled to be published in
> January 2014. The book will be juried by glass beadmaker Kristina Logan.
>
> We welcome and encourage submission of photographs of your handmade beads in
> all materials, including glass, metal, polymer clay, metal clay, ceramics,
> paper, fiber, plastic, wood, stone, etc., and in all design styles. All work
> must be made no earlier than 2010, and the more recent the work the better;
> we would prefer to see your 2012 work over your 2011 work, and your 2011
> work over your 2010 work.
>
> We strongly prefer images of beads that have not been published previously,
> and please do NOT submit images of pieces that have been published in any
> Lark book. We can accept only high-quality digital images. Artists will
> receive full acknowledgment within the book and a complimentary copy.
> Artists retain copyright of their work. There is no entry fee.
>
> All submissions must be submitted electronically through Juried Art
> Services. Note that there is no fee for using Juried Art Services. The entry
> page can be found at the following link: http://bit.ly/VTfT6E or, the full
> URL:
> http://www.juriedartservices.com/ind...o&event_id=614.
>
> Entries must be submitted by February 14, 2013.
>
> All visuals submitted must represent work that is original in design. A
> maximum of four entries per artist is allowed, so please submit your best
> work. An entry may consist of no more than two visuals: an overall shot and
> one detail (or alternate view); the detail shots are not required. The
> primary images you submit should each be different designs. For example,
> please do not submit four variations of very similar beads; instead, submit
> one bead from each of four series.
>
> Important: Lark will only publish photos of entries containing images and
> text that are free of copyright or for which the artist (or approved
> institution) holds copyright.
>
> I've already received two questions repeatedly about this call for entries,
> so I'll answer them here: My model for the work in the book is 1000 Glass
> Beads. That means most of the photos are of a bead or beads, but some
> photographs of beads incorporated in jewelry or other artwork, in which the
> beads are highlighted, will be considered. Ultimately those choices will
> rest in the juror's final decision-making. Also, beaded beads are acceptable
> as submissions.
>
> Thank you for your participation, either in submitting entries yourself or
> sharing the call for entries with your craft community.

Goodluck to any who decide to submit!

Has anyone heard back about their submissions?

I had the idea we'd be notified in October, and that's almost gone....

I'm pretty sure they've made their decisions but I can't find where I found out I was rejected. Sorry... I think there is a thread in the Family Room? Or maybe the Gallery?

For a few days there was information in the Juried Art Services site (if you went to the area where you can manage your applications it was there) but they pulled that and replaced it with something saying we'd be notified by the publisher.

I agree, Sharon, I remember seeing somewhere in the application that we'd be notified in October, but I haven't seen anything either (in the meantime, I've started obsessively checking my spam folder since that's where my last notification landed :) )

I got my email this morning, so they're getting them out today. I only got an email for the photo that was accepted (and was told in the email that I'd receive on email for each image accepted), so I'm not sure how they're handling people who submitted images that weren't accepted -- hopefully they're letting them know too?

SharonP 2013-10-31 10:18am

YAY, at least they're moving forward and we'll find out one way or the other.

Congrats to you!

Thanks! Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone who got maybes

I got two emails overnight, saying two of mine have been accepted - very pleased! :grin:

LoneTreeStudio 2013-11-01 3:00am

That's wonderful! Congratulations!

Congrats to all who get in!

jaybee766 2013-11-02 1:39pm

Does anyone know who the email will be from?

Doug Baldwin 2013-11-05 9:51am

The email will come from Julie Hale, Editor, Lark Crafts, Sterling Publishing Co., Inc.
