Celebrate Color {How to Enter}
So, you've made something special in your favorite fall colors and you'd like a shot at some fabulous prizes? That's perfect because we really, really want to see!!!
{How to Enter}
1. Blog Post or Flickr Photo: Create a NEW blog post for your finished item, including as many pictures and details as you like. Remember, we'll all be visiting one another, so tell us about it - what inspired you and any special techniques or materials you'd like to share. Also, be sure to include a link to Celebrate Color in your post. We want to spread the news! Including the button might be a fun touch.
As of November 1st, you can also enter by adding a NEW Flickr photo of your item to your photostream, so long as you include a link to Celebrate Color in your photo description.
2. Photo Linky: Now you've done your part, but we need to find you. To complete your entry into the contest, add a favorite photo of your item to the appropriate category photo pool with a link to your blog post. To do so, copy your post's url address, then paste it in the linky. The linky system will show you your pictures in that post, so that you can choose one to add. You must add your photo by the 26th of each month to be considered for that month's prizes. Access the contest photo pools via the main Celebrate Color page.
{What are those Categories again?}
{Winners}
After the 26th of each month, Emma, Shannon, Mollie and I will narrow our respective category to 3-5 finalists (the number will depend upon how many entries are submitted). On the 28th, finalists in all categories will be posted at Stitched in Color for open voting. 1st and 2nd place winners will be selected by popular vote. Voting closed and winners announced on the 30th of each month!

{What are those Categories again?}
1. Fabric {Home Decor}: quilts, pillows, runners, etc. Think anything at all for a home.
2. Fabric {Wearables}: clothing, bags, accessories (like jewelry). If it goes on the body and it's made of fabric, it totally counts.
3. Yarn: anything knit or crocheted. Really, anything.
4. Needlepoint: with elements of hand embroidery, crewel, cross stitch, etc. The finished item is probably sewn, but needlepoint is an important design element. This category spans a hoop for the wall, a bag embellished with embroidery, and even a quilted item that is decoratively hand quilted.
{Nitty Gritty Rules}
1. There is a limit of 2 entries per person per category per month.
2. Items must be handmade by YOU. For simplicity, no refashioned items please.
3. Design may be original or not. We trust you'll give it your special touch.
4. Items must be new, completed after September 1, 2011.
5. Updating an old blog post or old Flickr photo with a link to Celebrate Color does not count. Make a NEW post/photo please.
6. International entries welcome!
