Niche Award Finalist: I’m Dreaming

Posted by Lisa, CREATIVEGoddess on Oct 28th, 2010 in As Seen In, BLOG, News | 12 comments

We just received some awesome news yesterday in our inbox!!! The curators of the prestigious Niche Awards surprised us with this:

RE: NICHE Awards- Finalist
Good Day and Congratulations!
The first round of judging for the 2011 NICHE Awards is complete, and one or more of your pieces has been selected as a finalist! More information will be sent your way in the next few weeks…

I submitted three pieces and we’ll see which one(s) get selected as a finalist.

Art and images are judged on the following:

* Technical excellence, both in surface design and form
* A distinct quality of unique, original and creative thought
* Market viability

I have to read and reread this note!! After so many rejections with our leather goods this past year, this could not have come at a better time! So happy that our hard work is getting recognition!!!

I know this year has been tough for everyone and I want to thank you all for being supportive!!

      Thank you Michelle!

      I’m guessing in the next few weeks, they’ll tell me which ones were selected. I’ve read that I’m to send them for a special exhibit in February during the Buyers Market.

      Thank you, Nance!!!

      Typically, we’re either energetic, resourceful, or committed, but usually not all 3 at the same time. I think many times we should be committed. ;D
