Hand-making Competition Shortlist

The shortlist of Hand-making Heroes Competition Finalists was finally agreed last week and the voting is live over at gift retailer pressies4princesses.co.uk.

Each finalist has their own page, with (largely) their own words pitching their product on it. Also, in the sidebar, there's a brief explanation of why the judges shortlisted this particular handmaker.


Frustratingly, badly thought through pricing was one of the biggest reasons entries did not make the cut. The basic test had to be that it made sense for a retailer to sell this - after all that's part of the prize - and, in so many cases, it just did not (economically at least).

I am antipicating that some entrants will want to know why they haven't been shortlisted. And, I am more than happy to provide the judges' rationale, plus some one-to-one feedback, if desired.

Thank you to every entrant for taking part.

Hand-making Heroes Competition Update

I just received a question about what was going on with Hand-making Heroes. Well, we have all the entries. The competition is now closed for new entries and the judges have to draw up a shortlist to put the the public vote. We'll be doing that over the next two weeks and arranging the IT for the vote. As soon as our decisions our made and the IT is live we'll notify shortlisted candidates, so you can tell all your friends to come and vote for you!

Sorry for the lack of communication recently. Work at pressies4princesses - the day job - has been keeping me very busy.

More soon.
