What A Blast!!!

It is a blast to see all the changes that have been happening with the International-Art-Doll-Registry as we grow and share our love of dollmaking.  The 4th of July here in the USA is our day of celebration as we came into being a nation.  Wishing everyone a Happy July 4th and please be safe *smiling*.

​But let's not stop there.  It has been a birthing process since assuming the roll of CDO of IADR and like all new nations (organizations) hopefully you are excited about some of the changes too.

The major one especially happening now is the new MASTERS category being added to the Juried Shows.  This is a great opportunity to have past winners of the Professional level still share their talents and inspiration for upcoming doll members.  Plus it is always fun to see how Artists interpret their art from one of our themes.  The Fairy Wedding and the Guests who Attend show is really the sky is the limit to your imagination in regards to what one might see at this type of wedding *smiling*.  Masters will also be able to still participate in the Year End Show as long as they participate in one of this year's jury shows as well.

Recently we discovered that IADR is one of the few juried shows that offer cash prizes for winning.  If you ever wondered if the membership dues were worth it... then win in a jury show category.  Your winnings would have paid your IADR membership back to you plus a little extra.  The other change is inviting non-member the opportunity to compete as well.  As a non-member you are gambling your entry fee against the odds of winning.  Everyone has the chance - as well as learning from the judges with their evaluations that are supplied to every entry.
