Please consider entering - not only will all entries recieve lots of exposure

It's nice to see the contest sponsors listening to their audience and responding!!! We've all got to work together and be willing to make changes to keep the bear world alive and well!

It is a two way street, as a magazine editor and ber artists myself I really do try to listen and look at how I can support the industry and artists. In return I hope artists will support us and also try and communicate with us as to what they want to see and read in the magazine.

Since taling over as editor of Bear Creations I have changed a lot in the magazine.......now I just need artists collectors and makers to let me know what I'm getting right and what I'm getting wrong!

Hi Sandra, I certainly wish everyone much fun and good fortune in your competition and I'm looking forward to seeing it published.

I'm afraid I can't enter because of the requirement to have the competition bear posted ... it costs such a lot of money to send to Australia as I make big bears and I really need my bears to earn their living each time one is made, so I can't afford to send one out into the big wide world for such a long time - that's why I only enter the photographic submission comps these days.

Hi Sandra,
I would love to enter your competition, but just like Paula I can not enter because of the bear having to be away for so long. If you had a competition like the Tobys or Golden Teddies with photographic entries I think you would get many more people enter, such a shame, but a girl needs to earn her bread and butter.

Happy New Year.

Hugs, Jane.

Silly me I just posted another topic without thinking about this one...........see what happens whne you stay up past midnight partying!!!

Basically the oher thread says that the postal requirements have been dropped due to the sale of the shows to a new owner. So our overseas friends no longer have to post in the bear. I really hope this means some of you may now consider entering!!
