7 Vignettes Guidelines

7 Vignettes Guidelines

7 Vignettes is a fun monthly amateur styling and photography challenge on Instagram, founded and hosted by Interiors Addict’s Jen Bishop more than 2 years ago.

7-vignettes-logo-updated

What is a vignette?

I love this description by former guest judge, stylist Kara Rosenlund (and if anyone knows vignettes, it’s her!): “A vignette to me is essentially a unique visual short story,” she said. “It’s told through using an arrangement of smaller objects gathered together to tell a tale that is only yours. It can be as simple or as grand as you like; a pile of seashells in different sizes gathered from a distant seaside trip laid out on a shelf, to a Metro ticket, a small plastic tacky Eiffel Tower and a Champagne cork from Paris treasured as souvenirs on a mantle.”

Personally, I’ve always described a vignette as a still life or a collection of items which tell a visual story. Your own interpretation may be a little different and that’s okay too!

How does the monthly 7 Vignettes challenge work?

  • Each month, we publish a list of themes in advance, then for the first 7 days of each month, participants create vignettes according to the day’s theme. So, for example, on the first of the month you create a vignette around theme 1 and on the 3rd, theme 3, etc. So, 1 theme per day for the first 7 days of the month. You do not need to incorporate all 7 themes into one image.

You can always find the theme on Instagram under the hashtag #7vignettes.

  • You hashtag all these images #7vignettes so the community can see and enjoy them and the judge/s can find them quickly, and tag @interiorsaddict and that month’s judge/sponsor (announced in advance with the themes).
  • Each month, a guest judge picks a winner, thought to have completed the best overall collection of vignettes, who gets a prize. Sometimes there are smaller, daily theme prizes too. The judge’s decision is final based on the rules further down this page.
  • Most people take part just for fun, enjoyment and a creative outlet. If you don’t complete all 7, no worries, it just means you aren’t eligible to win. If you’ll pardon the cliché, the taking part is what it’s all about!
  • The winner/s is/are announced on the site and Instagram within a week of the end of the contest.

How about some examples?

Are there any rules?

To be eligible to win, you must:

  • Create original images specifically for the competition (i.e. no hashtagging old photos) using a phone camera (to ensure a reasonably level playing field).
  • Have completed and posted all 7 images by midnight on the 7th of the month
  • Be resident in Australia (but overseas friends are welcome to join in just for fun)
  • Not be related to the judge.

The judge’s decision is final and will always, by the very nature of the competition, be subjective.

What’s allowed?

Pretty much anything goes (flatlays included) as creativity is a very personal thing.

What’s not allowed?

Landscapes (they don’t fit into our definition of vignette in this context) and old photos.

Unfortunately, when you have a popular hashtag such as #7vignettes, people will spam it for their own advantage. There is nothing we can do about this other than get over it and move on!

Who can take part?

We encourage everyone who’d like to to give it a go and to not take it (or themselves!) too seriously as per the site’s “style without the snobbery” tagline. Enjoy, have fun, learn from and be inspired by others’ images and meet new friends online!

7 Vignettes events

Several times a year, we hold free events for our readers which embrace the spirit of 7 Vignettes and give you a chance to meet each other. If you’d like to be first to know about them, sign up to our newsletter (and get Jen’s free eBook).

Interested in sponsoring 7 Vignettes or have any questions/suggestions? Please contact us!

Brand new furniture in an 1877 house and IT WORKS! Brand new furniture in an 1877 house and IT WORKS!

@castleryau have named the talented stylist @stevecordony as their first Australian brand ambassador and he's curated a capsule of their furniture which he styled to perfection at his stunning country house @rosedale_farm 

I was lucky enough to see the pieces in situ last week and I honestly couldn't believe how well it all worked! They were going for accessible luxury and well, he delivered, and then some!

Head to the blog via link in bio to read more about the partnership.

@smartstoneaustralia's stunning Calacatta Viola sintered stone surface features throughout, making a bold statement while being durable enough to be used in the busiest areas.

Inspired by Puglia, Pino's (named after the owner's father) in Cronulla has a real seaside vibe. The Smartstone was also chosen for the outdoor tables due to its UV stability.

SPA VIBES was the brief for this bathroom and @jas SPA VIBES was the brief for this bathroom and @jasminemcclellanddesign delivered. And then some!

"With a keen eye for design, they wanted their main bathroom to feel calm, spa-like and elevated with more storage, better layout, and soft, layered textures in a neutral palette. Lighting was another big focus, with the goal of creating a space that felt luxurious enough to unwind in, preferably with a glass of champagne in the bath.”

Is it a yay or a nay for you?

Head to the blog via link in bio/stories for all the suppliers as well as a look at the powder room with its bold wallpaper 😍

The @thermomix_au TM7 launch in Sydney yesterday w The @thermomix_au TM7 launch in Sydney yesterday was a real treat. Such an exciting and sleek looking upgrade to my favourite kitchen machine!

The new look speaks for itself and, as usual, the engineering is impressive. Here's the biggest changes that stood out to me:

1. It's SO quiet and in fact SILENT up to a certain speed 
2. It has a much bigger 10 inch screen
3. A new insulated, cool to touch bowl (the inner metal bowl detaches to wash)
4. A gorgeous new matte black design with fluted and herringbone details and made of 30% recycled materials 👏🏼 

Enjoyed a beautiful lunch all prepared, naturally, in the Thermomix! Was great to meet @mise_en_place_aus in real life as well as special guest dessert queen @kirstentibballs and catch up with the lovely Thermomix team.

Tag a friend who'll be coveting the TM7! It's available from next week!
