Etsy Australia Design Awards
Exciting news for Australian designer/makers this week, with the announcement of the first-ever Etsy Design Awards.
It's an amazing opportunity for Australian Etsy sellers with active Etsy shops to be recognised for their talent and creativity, with prizes including a trip to Etsy’s headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, and be featured in the December issue of Inside Out.
There are loads of incredible Australian designers who don't have shops on Etsy, so I'm hoping that these Awards are the incentive they need to set up shop.
The Awards have six categories, including Community’s Choice, New Talent, Business As Unusual, Art and Illustration, Home and Lifestyle, and Fashion and Accessories.
Aussie Etsy sellers will be judged by some of our country's leading creative talent, including Editor-in-Chief of Inside Out Claire Bradley; interior stylist, author, and blogger Jason Grant; creative business mentor, singer, and actress Clare Bowditch; and Etsy’s Creative Director, International, Julia Hoffman.
The deadline for entries is 12 September, 2014, so if you don't have an Etsy shop, now is your chance to sign up and enter. Read all about the prizes and full terms and conditions here.
