Today is your last chance to submit your handmade cards to the open auditions round of Gallery Idol, season six! The theme for the this round is encouragement.
Once we pick our Top 20, these finalists will participate in weekly challenges where the online viewers will vote for their favorite entry. From the Top 20, we’ll narrow the competition to 15 finalists to 10 to five and finally to our grand prize winner. Remember what the grand prize is??
Our grand prize winner will win a trip to a 2012 Creating Keepsakes scrapbook convention! From Seattle to Jacksonville and Chicago to San Marcos (with many more in between!), the lucky winner will get to choose from a dozen fun locations with class fees, airfare, hotel, and even spending money as part of the $1,000 prize package. In addition to the trip, there will also be a collection of Fiskars tools for the lucky winner.
But let’s not get too ahead of ourselves! First, you’ll have to make it through the first round! We will choose twenty winners who will continue on to compete for the grand prize. They will win a copy of Card Creations: Vol. 10, ribbon from American Crafts, and ink and encouragement stamps from Hero Arts!
The twenty winners of the first round and the theme and prizes for round two will be announced on Friday, June 1st, so make sure to check back with us on Friday!

Will you be our next Gallery Idol?
