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:

>
> 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!
