Eureka's October Sparkle Stage

We had lots of fun looking through all of your beaded pieces using SuperDuo beads last month, and a really hard time choosing our Sparkle Queen! We can't wait what you have in store for our October Sparkle Stage challenge. The theme? SPOOKY SEASON, naturally!

Check out who won last month's Sparkle Stage!

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 Halloween-themed tutorials, customize them in whatever way that feels more like "you" and enter them 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 of the Facebook post (which will be pinned on our fanpage) for a month – until the last Wednesday of the following month, 11:59 PM. 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 at 9:00 AM (ET) – 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.

Each month, Sparkle Stage will have 2 winners:

A Sparkle Queen (or King) chosen by the Eureka Team and
