To enter your art doll for the People's Choice show is quite simple. This event is now open to all one-of-a-kind (OOAK) doll makers - No matter your medium. Sculptured works of all kinds are welcome in clay, paper-clay figurative sculpture, wool/needlefelting, wax, porcelain, polymer or cloth.
The People's Choice Event:
Submission is limited to one (1) doll. It can be any work you have created between October 2025 to September 2026.
Entries cannot be from a commercial mold, a remake or repaint, or an altered doll that was not originally created by the submitting artist. Gore or copyright infringements are also not allowed.
The requirements are:
- Each artist is allowed one entry per show.
- Entry is open only one-of-a-kind doll makers. There is no fee for entry for this event.
- The doll must have been made between October 2025 to September 2026. Only 1 photo is required (a best view) when submitting your entry. The photo can be entered in any size, as a jpg, jpeg, or png, but the photo must be 10 MB or smaller.
- The artist's skill level is not required when submitting for this event. The public will be selecting the winner for best of show (and we will tabulate 2nd and 3rd place) - all which will be highlighted in the advertising of the event and featured in the ART DOLLS Magazine also. Submission to enter for competition is September 1, 2026 ending on September 16, 2026. A voting site will then be advertised to the public when the competition begins on September 18, 2026 and ending on October 2, 2026. The doll that receives the most votes when the voting closes at midnight on October 2, 2026 (Mountain Standard Time) will be the winner.
When entering, please use the form below: The information required is the artist's full name, artist's studio (if applicable), and a space for your interpretation of the entered art doll (interpretation of the doll with a few words of storytelling about your creation for example).
Preparing the photo of the doll: The photo must be taken in front of a neutral background so there are no distractions from the doll and so that the public can see the doll properly. Any excess should be cropped from the photos so the sculpting is the only focus. No watermarks, studio names, or artist information can be placed on the photos. The sculpture can be shared on social media platforms but public voting must be completed at the posted website.
