The Frabel Awards. Free and good op

[the2ndday]

I think this awards are a good opportunity for glass art students and professional artists. It's totally free.

Check it out at http://www.myglassart.org/frabelawards

"The Frabel Awards is the only independent glass art competition open (and free) to emerging glass artists as well as established glass artists. What makes the Frabel Awards so unique is that that your peers vote the winner, not some Jury, making these awards the highest compliment a glass artist could receive.

The Frabel Awards 2008 offers, besides the honor of being chosen as the best artist by your fellow artists, an award designed by Hans Godo Frabel and $3,000 in cash prizes. Finalists are also recognized on the MyGlassArt.org website and their online galleries will receive special front page attention." ... from http://www.myglassart.org/frabelawards

Hi to all,
This is to announce that my lovely wife has become one of three nominee finalists (Novice Emerging Artist Division) in the Frabel Awards.

Please vote for Maureen Buckley McRorie for the Frabel Award Novice (Emerging Glass Artist) Division!!!

I am very proud of Maureen. She deserves the recognition for her years of hard work and professional dedication as a lampworker. Maureen is very very talented, and she doesn't try to shine or stand out. So I want to take this opportunity to speak up for her, and to congratulate her as one of the three wonderful Frabel Award Nominees in the Novice division. Maureen is truly an emerging glass artist of the highest caliber, and I really want to see her become noticed for her talent and dedication as a flameworker.

Beads and pipes excluded - hmmmm - I'm trying to imagine how they lumped beads with pipes - oh, I know - they both can be works of art.
