AAE Glass and Olympic Kilns Partner to Bring you a New Glass Fusing Contest

AAE Glass, Tanya Veit and Olympic Kilns have partnered to bring you a glass fusing contest for the ages!  Those of you who have had an opportunity to learn or work with Tanya Veit know she doesn't do anything unless it is over the top.  This contest is no different.  AAE Glass has built its business and reputation on helping up and coming glass artists gain access to the knowledge, tools and supplies it takes to grow.  Thanks to Olympic Kilns generous donation of a FREE hotbox kiln and Tanya Veit's donation of a FREE Extreme Fusing workshop you have a chance to advance your glass art business for FREE!  The unique part of this contest is every participant is a winner because of the FREE publicity you and your glass art will receive as a result.
All entrants will receive a link to their online store, a brief bio and picture of your entry.  The last time we sponsored a contest like this we received over 20,000 views and received reports from entrants of hits to their sites in the thousands as well as record sales.  The exposure you will receive from entering this contest alone is worth the time it takes for you to submit an entry.  Winning any number of prizes is the cherry on top.  You can view the participants of the last contest HERE and the winners HERE.
 Prizes Include
1-Olympic Kiln Hotbox 8" x 8" wide x 4.5" deep, 3 key controller included. ($680 retail Value)
2-FREE Extreme Fusing Workshop in Cape Coral, Florida taught by Tanya Veit. ($495 retail value)
3-$500 worth of AAE Glass decals and silver settings.

Last years Extreme Fusing workshop winners Maureen Connor and Tonya Nelson have agreed to be two of our judges this year along with the hottest glass fusing teacher going right now, Tanya Veit. We will be announcing celebrity judges along the way, but right now, we want to outline the contest for you and get your creative juices flowing.
