This year we have had a total of 20 entries, which is great, and we are sure that each year the contest will continue growing and have more and more participants.

We are very grateful for all the entries and for all the people who took the time to stop by the community, read the posts and admire the beautiful designs of our needleworkers.

For this edition of the contest the main theme was flowers, all the designs had to be inspired by some kind of flowers.
This year the jury was made up of the community moderators: Hive account@lauramica, Hive account@romeskie and Hive account@kattycrochet.

We could appreciate the creativity and dedication in each of your projects. As every year, choosing the winners was quite difficult, because all the projects were beautiful. However, we were guided by the following criteria to choose the winners that we present today:

Final presentation
Techniques and materials used
Story/inspiration behind the project
Originality
Creativity and level of complexity/difficulty

We present to you this year’s 2024 Needlework Your Barbie Contest Winners…
