Dear teddy bear artists,
One of the most eminent teddy bear contests of the world is starting again! We would like to invite
you to join the TED worldwide competition 2008 in the classes Hobbyist, Artist or Masterclass.
Be a part of the contest by sending in your latest teddy bear creation until June 30th, 2007.
The most important idea is to be nominated for the TED worldwide. To win the award comes secondary
because a nomination implies already a very effective and beneficial way of advertising for you:
Every nomination will be published in the BärReport magazine (25.000 print run) and on the
homepage www.baerreport.de (20.000 hit rate per month), so it will make you even more popular.
All nominations will be presented at the Teddybär Welt in Wiesbaden, the great teddy event in spring 2008.
We keep our fingers crossed that your teddy bear will win the TED worldwide award. Accept the challenge!
TED worldwide for the first time with
Steiff special award!!!
For the first time the Steiff special award is assigned in the course of the TED worldwide 2008:
the Margarete Steiff GmbH offers the three first laureates the possibility of incorporating their
objects to the Steiff assortment program. A four-headed jury of the Maragrete Steiff GmbH
acquires the winners of the Steiff special award. The first placing is endowed with 3000,- euros,
the second placing is endowed with 1500,- euros and the third placing with 500,- euros.
If one of these objects will get into serial production and maeketing, the winner receives a
participation of 3% in the Steiff net turnover for this product for the first year after the market lauch.
All information you find on the TED worldwide brochure enclosed.
Good luck to you and kind regards,
your BärReport team

Just remember, this comp calls for all nominated bears to be sent in to GERmANY !!!!!!! at your own expense, so take this into consideration.
Lynette
Little Bear GuyOH I remember that Lynette, we will be doing smaller very light bears LOL, not that we would have to worry about shipping our bears 
one can only hope . Thanks for reminding everyone about that though, cause the cost of shipping is high to Germany from Canada and the US
big hugs

Hmmn, shame, this comp really interests me but I prefer to use my credit card to make overseas payments and can't see a facility for it.
I emailed them see below, but 
no payment by credit card which is a bummer.
Hallo Lynette,
we so sorry about it but they can not pay with credit card.
Best regards
Agnes Rokicinski
