Big Announcement!

We want to expand the Bella Artista family! We’d like to invite you to submit your work for consideration. We are excited to announce that Bella is looking for 10 brand new guest designers to be named Bella Artistas for the months of September - December (2010).

 

The Bella Artista call for submissions is officially open! Submissions will be closed on Monday, August 2^nd, at midnight (CST). New Artistas will be announced here on Monday August 9^th, 2010.

 

What Are We Looking For?

We are looking for passionate scrapbook and paper craft designers that can display a unique style, writing, photography, design-sense, communication skills, cooperation, and excitement for Bella Blvd. International designers are welcome to apply!

 

What Is A Bella Artista?

Different than a design team member, a Bella Artista is an independent monthly guest designer. We like to think of them as our "fresh faces." 

Submission Details

1. Send us an email with 3 layout jpeg images. These should be recent layouts that best demonstrate your talent and style. (A layout can be a single page or double page, any size of your choice.) We highly encourage you to use Bella Blvd products. Bella Blvd is nearly 2 years old, our products are available all over the world. For links to online stores that carry Bella Blvd, see the "Buy Some Bella" list of links on the left sidebar.
2. Be sure each file does not exceed 500px by 500px or 500KB. Only one photo per layout please. Close ups are not necessary.
3. Along with your layout images tell us why we should pick you in ONLY 140 characters.
4. Be sure to include your first and last name, city/state/country, your email address and link(s) to your blog and/or galleries.
5. Optional: Submit a scrapbook resume including design teams of past and present, how long you’ve been there, links and your title (ie. Design Team Member, Coordinator, etc.). Be sure to include a list of any and all publications within the past two years only.
6. Email all the above to art@bellablvd.net, subject line: I WANNA BE A BELLA ARTISTA! Before midnight on Monday, August 2^nd, 2010!

All additional details can be found here at the Bella Blvd website.

Good Luck to you!
