Hello folks!

Wow, April, May, June, July, and now August are all flying by at record speed it seems.  I just looked up realized that the deadline for Gallery has come and gone and I never sent out a reminder!

So, here is your reminder email to get those entries turned in as soon as possible.  Ideally, if I can have them at my office by the 21st that would be great – otherwise just give me a call or email when they will be shipped or if you’d like me to pick them up.

Here is a link to download a fillable PDF entry form and manifest sheet:

We have a bunch of great entries this year with about 75% entered in both Int’l and Local competition and 25% in our Local Only competition.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Cheers

Dan

We are in the process of changing the website around and will use the blog format for the time being.

Entries Wanted!  Judges Wanted!

YES!  We are still accepting entries!

CraftNet-Seattle invites you to enter samples of your fine work in the 2009 Washington State Gallery. Sure, we are starting a bit later than normal, but it just means you should have more to enter!  Gather up those great projects since the last Gallery, and get the recognition you deserve for your company and the employees who make it shine.  If you aren’t yet participating, you may be missing new business, a chance to thank clients and enjoy rewards for your excellence. Can you afford to miss out on these opportunities?

Each year companies across Washington enter this premier graphic arts competition.  Last year, the option of entering either/both state and International, proved wildly successful, so it continues.  At International, your piece will compete with thousands of entries from around the globe.  Entries come in from as far away as Australia, Britain, China, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Mexico, Hong Kong, Korea and Singapore.  What an opportunity it is to show the world the great work you do everyday AND it’s so simple. Use the form inside this paper or go to the website http://www.craftnet-seattle.org to download a pdf version.

Next, we are looking for folks just like you, yes you, to be a Gallery judge.  This year I’d like to have 15-20 judges – the pay is peanuts – but we treat you right.  Press operators, bindery supervisors, Quality Control folks, you all make great judges.  So pass this invitation along to everyone you know or think you know and encourage them to be a judge!  In November we will present the winners.

We look forward to your participation in Gallery and seeing your fine craftsmanship.  If you have any questions or would like to volunteer or sponsor, please call me at Tabs To Go, Inc., 253-854-8227 or email me at events@CraftNet-Seattle.org.

Best wishes,
