4. I am personally loving the flash mob feel of CrowdJewels quickie Contests - what are your thoughts?

 I like the contest and i love the rush you get seeing the votes climb higher and higher its like a great sports game...and of course winning feels great!

5. As the "Crowd" Winner - what technique do you feel helps you get the contest out to the largest group of your followers?

i think updating your followers and being connected with people gave me a slight advantage in this contest.  i always make sure to post fun things on Facebook to keep my followers interested. 

Networking is what i love to do and i love to spread the word about Bakery Bling Jewelry.

Spring Cocktail Rings Our inaugural challenge on the CrowdJewel site is Spring Cocktail Rings!  Contest Brief CrowdJewelers know how to rock a look and aren't afraid to make a statement. Your task is to translate one of Spring's major color stories or graphic trends--Neons, Pastels, Art Deco, Tribal, Under the Sea--into a bold cocktail ring to die for. We're doing things a little differently from our previous contests held on Facebook. Submissions will last 5 days. After the submission period closes, approved submissions will be open to voting, which lasts 5 days, allowing each designer to have the same amount of time for voting. Submissions will not be available to view or vote on until the submission period closes. Be sure to submit in time! What are you waiting for? Check out the site, create a profile and start submitting!
