Be a designer


To become a designer, you can log in with your previous event account. If you haven't participated before, you create a new account. Then go to "My Page".  Just check the box "I want to design and vote".
Now you are ready to participate.

There are many ways to create your bead design: Craft your bead in clay or wax, sketch it on paper,  produce a design in Photoshop – whatever works best for you. Remember to show how the bead is placed on a bracelet and make sure to show where the chain goes through.

The hole is approx. 4 mm wide, and this needs to be incorporated in your design in correct proportions.  Show us your design from more than one angle. You can upload up to 5 different images of your design to help illustrating the details. 

Upload your design image(s) and tell us how you got inspired you and why this incredible design should be part of the Trollbeads collection. Keep in mind that your first uploaded image will be the one displayed in the voting phases. 

SHARE YOUR DESIGN ON SOCIAL MEDIA

When you have uploaded your design, it is time to show it to as many as possible. Share it on your social media accounts with a link to event site.  You have done a great work - be proud of it.

HOW DOES THE VOTING ROUNDS WORK? 

Round 1: Vote for the 24 finalists.

First, we will ask you to vote for your favorites among all the submissions and be part of selecting the top 24 designs which will become the finalists. You will be presented with two designs at a time. Choose the one you think is the most excellent. In case two designs are equally beautiful, or not your taste, just click the “I cannot decide” button. 

You will then be presented for the designs in combination with other submissions later in the voting.

You can keep on doing this for as long as you want.
The result of this round will be the 24 finalists.

Round 2: Vote for your 3 favourites.

The 24 finalist have been chosen and now you need to vote for your top 3 among the 24 finalists to help us find a winner! The bead with the most votes in total will win.

Cross your fingers – maybe your favourite will be the winning bead!
