Got Design Talent? Or Know Someone Who Does? Tell Martha Stewart About It
By Shannon O'Leary July 25, 2014
It seems improbable, but, so far, no Seattleite has won a Martha Stewart American Made award.
The contest celebrating the best home-grown craftspeople laboring in the fields of design, food and style has only existed since 2012. Still, in that time, there have been two winners hailing from Portlandia.
It’s a simple matter to set things right. You can nominate your favorite local craftsperson, including yourself, through August 29 at: http://www.marthastewart.com/americanmade/nominate-yourself
Then, don’t forget to cast a ballot or several (multiple votes are allowed) when online voting takes place September 15-October 13. The 2014 winners will be announced on October 17th. As well as a chance to win $10,000 and a trip to NYC, winners could be featured in Martha Stewart Living.
And wouldn’t it be nice to see some Seattle talent in Martha’s spotlight?
