I am thrilled to say that my entry 'Sammi' the Rat has won the Australian Creative Design Award for ' Most Innovative Design and Workmanship Excellence' !!! This is the second year running that I have been fortunate enough to win this fabulous award!  A BIG Thank You to Sandi Smith  for organizing this challenging award with such fabulous trophies....it excites artists to get creative!!!!

All entries are viewed by Kathy Martin former Editor of the UK Teddy Magazine 'Teddy Bears Scene UK' and Kathy chooses the 10 that are to receive nominations to go through to the final judging stage which is hands-on-judging by 3 independent judges. We send our creations in and each judge separately judges you on workmanship ,creativity and originality and we receive back their judging sheets and scores. The winners are notified when their creations are sent back with or without a trophy included.
I was Soooooooooooooooo Thrilled to find the top award inside my package with 'Sammi'. !!!!!!!!
I feel so proud to have won this award as it is one of the few left that asks for the creations to be hands-on-judged!!
YIPPPEEEEE!!

Having seen Linda's work in person, I can assure you she deserves every bit of this award! Congratulations Linda and to Ruth Bowman, Robyn Roe and Ina Smirnova for their wins also.  :clap:

I might add that because our competition is growing, we have added a new member to our selection panel, who should already be known to many of you for her contributions to the teddy bear scene. We recently had much pleasure in welcoming Nancy Tilberg onboard (EbearZ University and author of "101 Bears to Make").
