As Rafiki once said to Simba 'it is time'. The party weekend is fast approaching us and as we at #internationalannaparty HQ dust off the camera (iPhone), drag partners/friends/selfie stick into gardens to help us get our whole bodies in frame and frantically stitch the hem just before doing these things...... you guys need to know about PRIZES!!! I've been holding off on this post for so long, that i'm fully bubbling with excitement.
I can now confirm that there will be 5 prize winners being gifted after our #internationalannaparty has finished. Even more exciting is that By Hand London themselves are being involved in the party gifting and will be judges on the semi final prize round!!!
So how are we judging the finalists and what prizes are on offer?? Read on my anna friends to find out.
We all should be aware by now how to enter the #internationalannaparty.
Simply post a picture of your handmade 'By Hand London Anna dress' on your Instagram feed between Friday July 17th 18.00 BST and Saturday July 18th 23.59 BST 2015 using the hashtag #InternationalAnnaParty. More information and rules can be found here.
First two prizes to be announced Tuesday 21st July
The first two prize winners will be chosen by #internationalannaparty HQ members Ute and Pips. Ute will be choosing her winner completely at random, which gives EVERYONE who enters an Anna picture a sporting chance at winning - no matter their sewing skill or chosen fabric. Ute is supplying some hand 'chosen by herself' Berlin fabric market cloth! She chose my Anna dress fabric from the Berlin market and it is beautiful. Click here and here for her chosen fabrics.
Pips is choosing her favourite modified anna (modified meaning a mash up of the anna pattern but still clearly an Anna) and is offering a lithuanian linen tea towel with an exclusive Bella & Bee screen print on it!! It's so darling. These two winners will be chose and announced on Instagram by Tuesday 21st July.
How the finalist will be chosen and voting
Then we will move into round voting for the final 3 prize winners. All the members at #internationalannaparty HQ will choose their 3 favourite anna dresses, giving us 9 people that will go forward to the semi final. We will all be choosing our 3 Anna's in different ways and the semi final 9 will be confirmed on Instagram by Monday 20th July.
These Lucky 9 people will then handed over to By Hand London, who will be choosing their 3 favourite Anna dresses (one each for each By Hand London team member). This will be confirmed on Instagram by Thursday 23rd July.
The final 3 will then go to a public vote on instagram and be chosen by counting how many individual votes each finalist gets by saturday 25th July 2015 11.59am BMT.
The finalist winner will be confirmed on instagram on Sunday 26th July.
The final 3 prizes.
The three finalists will each receive their choice of By Hand London PDF pattern, which is being supplied by the awesome BHL themselves! The over all finalist will also win an evoucher/gift certificate/store credit to the equivalent of £20 to spend at your chosen Independent fabric shop, which is being supplied by Elle.
