I am totally thrilled to bits to have been nominated too. At least I think it's me, does anyone happen to know an Arcus Designs that make furry friends too? :pray:
Congratulations to all the other nominees! :clap:

It's definiately you Lisa - the reason I didn't put names on the list was because I wanted to check the spelling of them, but did not want to hold the list up.
Dawn,
Oh phew! 
It was really lovely to be able to see the nominations so fast.
Regards
Lisa
Sarian Miniature Bears:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: I'm there too in categories 6 and 10 
I'm a BBAA virgin too so I'm still feeling very giddy this morning about it all. I've been telling anyone and everyone! 
I'd also like to add my thanks to Dawn and Wendy for spending the whole day going through the entries, and of course to Chris for putting us all out of our misery and uploading the list so soon. I think the internet much have been on fire last night...

It's lovely to see so many familiar (for me) names on the list. I wish I could be there at Hove. 
A big thank you as well to Wendy, Dawn (and Chris 
) for taking on such a difficult task !

Are we allowed to show photos before the BBAAs publish them? I've been asked for pictures a few times already but I didn't think we were allowed to share them before they were published. Does anyone else know...?
Still buzzing...! :dance: :dance: :dance:

Hi
As far as I know, there is no reason why they should not be shown. Normally, the first sighting of all the bears together is in Teddy Bear Times. However, this year, as there is a dedicated website they will be on there before being published in TBT.
As far as I can remember, pictures of shortlisted bears always appeared on here - I remember putting mine up before they were in Teddy Bear Times.
I'm really looking forward to seeing them all in Brighton - there is a great variety of bears and I think that the judging will be very difficult.
Hugs

Little Leaf Bears by ShannaCongratulations everyone! We have some really talented artists on this board!
Hiya
It would really speed up the process of getting photos on the website if I could have digital photos of those entries that were sent by hard copy to Wendy. Scanning them in takes a long time and there are a lot of bears to get on the website.
Please send to tbteditor@btinternet.com - if you could make it a high res photo it will also be great for Teddy Bear Times as well.
Thank you.
Hugs
Dawn

He is a wonderful guy! Gorgeous colours!
Apologies for not getting the photos up on the website. We are having major technical difficulties - and time issues! My computer hasn't got a scanner and a lot of the photos I have are in paper form. I really think it would be unfair to put some up and not others within a category, however, I think we may put them up one category at a time starting on Monday.
My little farm on Facebook is also sadly neglected. 
You can find Molly on my blog if you want to meet her.....

Hi
Just to let you know that photos for the 12 entries for Category one are now online: http://www.britishbearfair.co.uk/Shortlist%20Cat1.htm
The rest of the categories will be on shorty.
Apologies for the delay, this is taking a lot longer than we thought.
Hugs
Dawn
The Littlest ThistleThanks for all the effort you are putting into this Dawn, looking forward to seeing them all as you get to them
