Bead Slam:  Friday August 22, 12 p.m. - 5 p.m. What could you make in a room full of beads in 5 hours, with an audience cheering you on? Go bead to bead against your fellow jewelry-makers at the Bead Star Bead Slam at Bead Fest Philadelphia. Bead Fest attendees and students will battle it out by creating a beading project on site. The first 100 projects will be critiqued by a panel of expert judges based on technique and creativity, and the 20 finalists will advance to the final round of judging.
Winners will be announced Sunday at noon.

  • The 1st prize winner will be featured in the 2008 Bead Star magazine; plus a $100 gift certificate for the Interweave Book Store (must be present to redeem their gift certificate).

  • The 3rd prize winner will win a free subscription to any Interweave magazine
