We were lucky enought to attend The Hampshire Teddy Bear Show on sunday...
They host The National Teddy Bear Artist Awards.
The competition is not judged by the hosts but judged in the fur so to speak by an independent panel of judges prior to the show.
Artists entered from all around the world.
Most entrants come along to the show to be presented their awards by BBC tv's "Antiques Roadshow" antique teddy, and doll expert Bunny Campione.
Bunny was available on site at the show to help give her expert advice to anyone on older bears.
So I thought you would like to see the photographs we took of the furry entrants.
And also the best in Show won by Jacqui Wikenden.

Great pictures! (It's nice that there is a Traditional Teddy Bear category since they're often overlooked in competitions. There's no overlooking that mandrill, however! bear_laugh )

Yes your so right Becky ;0)
Its nice that it is open to artists from all countries too.
It is important to support artists and promote bear making as a serious artform.
