How the Jewelry Making Contest Works
A single contest will run for between four (4) to six (6) weeks and then close.
One entry will be selected as a winner.
The winning entry of a single contest will then be added to an eligible pool of
entries. Once the pool reaches five (5) entries, one (1) Grand Prize Winner will be selected.
If a specific jewelry making contest entry period yields less than five (5) contestants, no winner
will be selected from the submitted entries. The submitted entries will be
automatically entered into the next contest period and eligible to win a prize.
A person may submit more than one entry in each contest, but only one (1) entry will be
eligible to win.
