I really like the competitions and enjoy seeing how different the interpretations are. I have entered twice and wouldn't class either of my entries as executed particularly well, but as I beginner who also has a full time job, the experience of actually designing, executing and finishing the pieces, is invaluable. I have designed many pieces on paper, and in my head, but the I find my real learning comes from the mistakes I make and the problems I manage to solve when I see a project through.
As an alternative to themes, perhaps consider a technique? New technique: favourite technique? Or item and leave the technique open - pendant, ring, bangle ...?

Thank you for all your thoughts! I have listed them in a separate thread so everyone knows the themes
I haven't had the courage to enter yet (nor have I had the time to make anything theme relevant!) but love the competition and seeing the variety of people's imaginations. Keep it going please.
Well well well,
I am very excited by all of this and think I need to get designing! Fab theme ideas, I like that they are left quite open. Whoop.
Where do the entries get exhibited? will there be a Facebook page? Or a page on here? Of has this already been done and I've missed the boat completely?
