About the event

The final winner is announced on August 30, 2024, and the winning bead is released in stores and for online purchase on September 13, 2024.

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" and simply 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 the 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.

Your Vote Counts

HOW DO THE VOTING ROUNDS WORK?

Round 1: Vote for the 24 finalists.

In the first round, we’ll show you two designs at a time side-by-side and you vote for the one you like more. Then we’ll show you the next two to vote on. You may continue voting as long as you’d like, or until you’ve gone through all the submissions.

Once all the votes are tallied, the top 24 design finalists will move on to the next round.

Round 2: Vote for your 3 favorites

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

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