This is IT Folks!

​That's right Folks, this is it and now is the time to be thinking of the People's Choice Event.  Since this is a first ever for the IADR (International-Art-Doll-Registry) - let me explain how it will work.

I have been listening to our members and have been taking suggestions into consideration for the final requirements for this Event.  Here they are - 

What to Submit?:  There is a theme for those that want to create something new for this event which is "Magical Memories of Christmas".  For those that want to participate but not be limited to the theme, then your art needs to be created sometime between October 2022 to October 2023 to be acceptable.  Since the judging is being done by "the people" the theme is not required to be included in this event.

How to Submit?:  There is a Christmas Event Submission form that is available to IADR members only.  This is a simplified form as only one picture is required and no explanation is required.  Because your submission will also be linked to your Artist's Studio page, you may want to have that updated with any images of your work and links to your social platforms for viewing by the public if you wish to take advantage of the traffic to our website.

How does this Event work?:  The submission deadline is October 1st, 2023.  After that time frame (meaning Oct 2nd), all IADR members will receive the link to this unique page on our website.  At that point it will be up to you on how you want to share that link because it is that link is how people will find the page so they can vote.  So yes, I'll be posting this on my personal page, my group page, and my business page inviting my friends, relatives and those that follow me to come vote for my entry.  Will you be doing the same???

What do you win?:  This event offers a marketing prize instead of a cash prize.  The first place winner will be on the banner for the Sale Event that is in November.  They will also be featured in the new issue of the IADR Art Doll magazine that will be coming out in October.  Second and Third place winners will be placed on our Facebook banners and also mentioned in the Art Doll magazine.  Don't forget the increase in traffic to the website can create offers of a possible sale or commission from the foot traffic from the public as well.

Who can participate?:  All IADR members that are current with dues and wish to participate including judges as well as past winners and masters.  This is your time to play!  This is limited to only IADR members because of the link to the Artist's Page and our website.

This is also the last chance!  This is the last event that is available to participate in if one wants to be considered for the Big Cash awards that are in the Year End Event.  The Year End Event requires at least participation in one of the three prior events this year which this is one of those three.  So if you haven't participated yet but want to be thinking about the Year End... then jump on board here with this event and submit your entry.
