Eureka's January 2024 Sparkle Stage!

We had lots of fun looking through all of your Icy Crystal beaded pieces last month! We can't wait what you can find or prepare for our January Sparkle Stage challenge. This time, we're asking you to get inspired by Pantone's color of the year 2024, Peach Fuzz! Have you ever made anything using similar peachy colors?

The fun thing about Sparkle stage is you can enter beadwork you made at any time in your beading history, or you can prepare something new—you have a whole month to prepare, and you can enter as many photos as you want!

How about a little inspiration?

Take a look at some of our tutorials, follow them using some materials in peachy colors and enter your beadwork in the comment section under the facebook post!

Quick recap of Sparkle Stage rules

DATES & TIME FRAME

We announce the new theme on the last Friday of each month at 10:00 AM (ET)
Anyone can post photos of their beadwork in the comment section ofthe Facebook post(which will be pinned on our fanpage) for a month – until the last Wednesday of the following month, 11:59 PM, in this case: 1/31. Then we have one day to count the votes and decide on our winner.
We will announce the winners of each given month’s Sparkle Stage on the Last Friday of that month or the first Friday of the next month, if the last Wednesday falls on the last or second-to-last day of the month (2/2 this time) at 9:00 AM (EST) – an hour before we announce the next month’s theme.

HOW TO ENTER

To enter, you have to post a picture of your work in a comment under the post announcing the theme on Facebook.
You can post as many comments as you want – each photo of a different piece you made will be counted as a separate entry.
To enter, you do not have to be registered at EurekaCrystalBeads.com or even follow us on Facebook, but to receive your award, you will need a customer account.

ENTRY RULES

All techniques and levels of advancement are acceptable.
You can post your new pieces as well as ones from years back, you do not have to create your piece specifically for Sparkle Stage! Post anything you are proud of.
You CAN post beadwork made according to a tutorial, but if you do, credit the author of the tutorial.
Interpret the theme any way you want! Some themes will be more clear-cut, like “red beads” or “SuperDuos”, but some will be more abstract, such as, for instance, “Fantasy land” — and in that case, you can post anything as long as you include an explanation how your piece relates to the theme.
Your beaded piece does not have to be made of supplies purchased from EurekaCrystalBeads.com, but it cannot in any way promote a different bead store (e.g. by featuring elements exclusive for and associated with a different bead store, made according to an exclusive tutorial by a different bead store).
By posting a comment with a photo under the Sparkle Stage post, you give Eureka Crystal Beads your consent to edit it (to add the Sparkle Queen/King Badge) and share it in our media & on our website if your beaded piece wins.

WINNERS

Each month, Sparkle Stage will have 2 winners:

A Sparkle Queen (or King) chosen by the Eureka Team and
A Sparkle Queen (or King) chosen by the public through Facebook reactions – likes, hearts & other reactions to comments with photos; the photo with the most reactions wins the title.

The prize for each winner includes:

The title of Eureka’s Sparkle Queen (or King), together with a badge we will add to your photo when we share it,
The winner’s work being featured (alone or together with the second winner) on EurekaCrystalBeads.com home page for at least 1 week and up to 4 weeks,
500 Sparkle Points,awarded to the winner’s customer account at EurekaCrystalBeads.com, to be exchanged (optionally) for $5 store credit if our rewards app is down.

Winners should contact us through Facebook Messenger to confirm the customer account to which we should award the 500 points.

If you win, but do not have a customer account, you can create one after we contact you. Sparkle Points will be awarded to customer accounts only and cannot be exchanged for cash or store credit.

Last but not least: appreciate other beaders! Let’s make this an opportunity to share positive emotions, give well-deserved praise, express appreciation and celebrate passion and love for beads & beading!

Let the fun begin!
