StyleBakery’s “On The Rise Awards”

by trish on July 3, 2008

I thought this was worth mentioning to the whole community. This is StyleBakery’s 4rth annual “on The Rise Awards”. It is a great way to get yourself noticed. Get all of your friends and connection vote for you. To be eligible you must be a designer with an online presence and not be a household name yet. This is fabulous. It means you are not competing with mass marketed designers. Good luck to all who participate. They have had great winners in the past.
