May miss the boat but...

Well I might have missed the boat this year with all the transitions and trying to find my way around the revamped IADR (International Art Doll Registry) but I do like to think ahead.  

What am I talking about?  A Christmas Selling Event for 2023.  After all, Christmas and dolls go together like chocolate and ice cream.  As I was contemplating this, I thought why not make it a little fun in the process too? Something that inspires "Christmas Magical Memories" for you.
I will set up a hidden page on the website that would go activate the day the Doll Show/Sale begins.  On this page would be one (1) doll that was made throughout the year that captures the magical memories of Christmas for you.  It can be Santa Claus, faeries, elves, little girls with dolls or even something like the "Nightmare Before Christmas" as long as there isn't gore nor copyright infringements.
As always, the doll should be registered (after all why not? *smiling*) and this will be for members only.  The deadline for the Christmas theme doll/character event would be October 1st 2023. Because then we would have a People's Choice selection of the doll that best represents the theme between October 1st & October 15th.  The first place winner would be the icon for the event, be on the website page, and on all posts from IADR promoting the event on Facebook and banner of the public IADR group page.  That's a lot of exposure! (*smiling*)  Second and Third place winners would cover the other two IADR banners.
On the page of the Event will be the one image of the doll/character for each person of their participating entry.  Under the entry would be a direct link to the doll if you are selling it. The other link would be to your Artist's Studio page so any buyer can see more of your work.  Or buy more there if you have set up your dolls for sale in your studio.

Place winners would also be the first listings in the gallery.  Others that participate would be listed by drawing their name out of a hat so it would be random.

​Anyone that wants to participate but not create a Christmas theme doll would be listed after the participates.

It won't be required that the doll/character be a recent work but then why wouldn't you want to challenge yourself to something new?  This is about getting a selling event going for November 2023 with a little Christmas magic thrown in.  Discover what inspires you this year and challenges you or brings out your inner child.  Then let's capture it to bring it into the new year and be ready for a great doll event toward this time next year.
