Jewelry Contests and Challenges

I've been assembling a list of jewelry-making contests and challenges over the past few days, and wanted to share an update with my blog readers about what I've found. Hopefully, some of my fellow jewelry-makers out there might find the time or interest to check out some of these opportunities to gain exposure for you and your jewelry making business:
