This New Contest Is like Shark Tank for Makers

Apr 22, 2015

As a maker, it’s one thing to have a great idea, but it’s another thing to get it to actually sell. With the explosion of sites like Etsy, DaWanda, Hatch and our very own Brit + Co store starting a business has become easier than ever. Set up a site, start making your product and boom, you’re in business. For some, that’s enough. But of course, there are others who dream of seeing their product expand beyond the online marketplace. If you identify with the latter group, there’s a new competition that just might give you the exposure you’ve been looking for.

Similar to the hit TV show Shark Tank, Etsy is hosting what they’re referring to as an “Open Call.” You won’t need to make a TV appearance to participate, but the general idea is very much the same. The competition (which starts today and ends June 4) offers designers the opportunity to digitally pitch their lines to a panel of execs from major retailers like: Nordstrom, The Land of Nod, Walker Shop, Clementine and Lou & Grey (who you might remember from our Athleisure round up).

To participate all you need to do is post your pitch to Instagram and tag #EtsyOpenCall and @EtsyWholesale. Describe why you’re excited about the opportunity and tell them which retailer you have your heart set on. You’ll also want to show off a photo of your star product or you at work in your studio.

If you’re one of the 50 designers selected to pitch your line, you’ll be invited to Etsy’s Brooklyn office where you will have the chance to meet all the folks from the retailers mentioned above. They’ll look at your samples, gives critiques and suggestions and hopefully place orders. It should be noted, that although the winners will be invited to the open call, orders are not a guarantee. Once you’re there it’s up to you to sell your product. The retailers in attendance will be looking for products to be sold in-store for the 2015 holiday season.

While this is an awesome opportunity, it does come with one prerequisite: you must also be signed up for Etsy Wholesale, which requires submitting an application that’s looked over by a jury. There are a few major requirements needed to be approved, so make sure to check that your business fits the criteria.

If you’re new to selling online and don’t have much of a business plan yet, this competition may not be the best fit for you. But if you’re a seller who is really looking to escalate your business and gain nation exposure, this could do wonders for your brand. Good luck and get tagging!

25 Healthy Clean Eating Recipes For Beginners

Clean eating is one of the easiest diets to stick to because it’s not an actual diet, per say. Unlike the Mediterranean diet, Paleo, the Blue Zone diet, Keto, orintermittent fasting, clean eating isn’t centered around excluding certain foods.

This compilation of clean eating recipes has something for everyone – plus, we’ve saved the best for last.

Our Best Clean Eating Recipes For Healthy Meals

Sweet Potato Black Bean Burgers

Whoever says burgers can't be clean eating just got proven so wrong. This healthier take on America's go-to bun combines sweet potatoes and black beans for the flavorful patties, giving each bite a good dose of fiber and protein. Top these sammies with your fave garnishes, and you've got dinner! (via Brit + Co)

Slow-Cooker Marsala Grain Bowl

These balanced grain bowls are unbelievably easy to make with a slow cooker. Just throw all the ingredients into the cooker, set it for a few hours, then serve over some greens with honey and yogurt once it's ready. Yep – you'll get a very satiating taste of savory and sweet in this dish. (via Brit + Co)

Fattoush Salad

This colorful salad will make you glow from the inside out! With all the good greens and veggie ad-ons, you'll finish off this bowl with a sprinkling of pita chips for extra crunch. Try opting for whole grain chips (or better yet, whole grain crusty bread) to really nail down the clean eating concept. (via Brit + Co)

Curry Chicken

Sometimes you just want something with a nice kick to it. This healthy, one pot chicken dish will fill the gaps with tons of curry spice, making it an excellent choice for the colder months. Swap the basmati rice in this clean eating recipe for brown rice if you're aiming to eat more whole grains. (via Brit + Co)

Shakshuka

Shakshuka is one of the best clean eating recipes to add to your rotation because it's suitable for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This recipe earns a zingy flavor from preserved lemon and tons of vegetarian-friendly protein from chickpeas and egg. (via Brit + Co)

Baked Almond-Crusted Cod

We're gettin' fancy now! Feast on some clean eating lean protein by prepping this delicious crusted cod dish. It's packed with omega-3 fatty acids that boost heart health, plus has an impressive balance of tender fish and crusty, almond-y coating. Better yet is the lemon-dill sauce built using Greek yogurt! (via Brit + Co)

Chickpea Salad Sandwiches

Make a big batch of this chickpea salad sandwich filling for an easy take-to-work lunch! The mix of chickpeas, onion, corn, peppers, and pickles will be a super fresh and delightful respite from the workday. Whole wheat bread works wonderfully with this clean eating recipe, but you could go the extra mile and turn these into healthy lettuce wraps! (via Brit + Co)

Lemon Chicken Skewers

Putting in the extra work to marinate your chicken with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon, garlic, ginger, and lots of cilantro and parsley will be 1000% worth it when you make this clean eating recipe. Skewered alongside organic artichoke pieces and asparagus, the protein will taste just as heavenly as it is healthy! (via Brit + Co)

One Pot Tuscan White Bean Soup

The Instant Pot does all the work for you to make this soup. It's super hearty, being packed full of beans, onion, leek, tomato, mushrooms, zucchini, and even more veg. This recipe will yield a huge pot of soup to feast on all week long, making it easier to eat clean since you'll already have something in the fridge! (via Brit + Co)

Vegan Butternut Squash + Spinach Casserole

Casseroles might just be our favorite form of food. Although more involved dishes are fun to make, finding the time can be a challenge in light of life's other happenings. This vegan casserole simplifies mealtime (without sacrificing healthy eats) by using easy-to-find ingredients. (via Brit + Co)

Harissa Grilled Shrimp with Chickpea-Dill Sauce

Shrimp is sooo yum, and it gets even yummier with this recipe that draws inspiration from Mediterranean meals! Each piece earns a pleasant hint of spice from harissa paste, then gets combined with a glorious dill-centered sauce that'll satisfy the whole table. (via Brit + Co)

Couscous Stuffed Artichokes

These savory stuffed 'chokes are met with a sweet sprinkling of pomegranate seeds, which we love. The fact that this dish combines veggies and fruits qualifies it as one of the best clean eating recipes out there! If you've never made whole artichokes before, this is the recipe to start with. (via Brit + Co)

Spice-Rubbed Roast Chicken

Why settle for bland, boring chicken when you can make this flavorful version in just a few steps? Keeping some piece of this spice-rubbed chicken on-hand to top clean eating salads and wraps will make your life so much easier and tastier. You can go in as heavy- or light-handed as you want, but we recommend seasoning very generously. (via Brit + Co)

One Pot Vegan Sriracha Chili

Chili heals all. It's hearty and complex in flavor, and this vegan version is no exception. There's three different types of legumes included to power up your clean eating with plant-based protein, plus there's not much seasoning involved. Sriracha sauce does the heavy lifting in terms of flavor and spice! (via Brit + Co)

Mediterranean Chicken Skewers

You can serve these skewers with basically anything from salads to snack plates. Go ahead, give your girl dinner a nutritious boost. (via Brit + Co)

Green Goddess Salad

Clean eating recipes that are easy to eat have our hearts. Since this green goddess salad is finely chopped, you can go in with your fave chips for snacktime and lunchtime alike. The homemade dressing is the real secret sauce here, so make sure to always have some in your fridge for maximum flav. (via Brit + Co)

Tahini Salmon Salad

Salmon dishes always feel special, so treat yourself to this salad every once in a while! It's totally clean eating-approved with a big ol' bed of greens, a sweet tahini-based dressing, and chunks of juicy mango. (via Brit + Co)

Vegan Chickpea Curry

This chickpea curry stores super well, so you can be confident the leftovers will taste just as good as they did when you first made it. Plus, everything goes in just one pot – hooray for way less dishes in the sink! If you're not vegan, you could even beef this dish up with, well, literal beef. Or chicken. Or whatever makes your heart happy! (via Brit + Co)

Greek Salad

Let's hear it for some clean eating appetizer recipes! This chunky (in a good way, trust us) Greek salad is perfectly balanced between fresh and cheesy, plus you can get creative with seasoning each bite with salt and pepper or balsamic glaze. This pick will hit even harder in the summer when you're craving something cool. (via Brit + Co)

Squash Nachos

Since clean eating recipes tend to limit processed foods, you may reconsider snacking on too many tortilla chips. Instead, try out pairing your fave dips and nacho toppings with roasted squash. Even another veg like sweet potato or carrot will work well with this easy recipe. (via Brit + Co)

Vegan Walnut Tacos

This innovative taco recipe just showed up every other clean eating recipe out there. Using walnuts for the "meat" mixture actually results in a super tender and flavorful filling that gives a good serving of healthy fats. When balanced with veggie toppings and a lime squeeze, you won't want tacos any other way. (via Brit + Co)

Sweet Clean Eating Recipes For Dessert

Healthy Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are surprisingly crafted with chickpeas, which not only provide some beneficial protein, but also help form the rich dough. The ingredients list definitely beats any frozen cookie dough you could find at the store, and when you mix in the chocolate chips, magic happens. (via Brit + Co)

5-Ingredient Apricot Bites

These no-bake bites just make sense to meal prep when you want something to snack on before the gym or after lunch. Use unsweetened dried apricots to ensure you're limiting your intake of processed, overly sugary foods. The coconut flakes simply make this pick one of the best clean eating recipes for dessert! (via Brit + Co)

Black Bean Brownies

Black. Bean. Brownies. That's right! These clean eating sweet treats are made from black beans, oats, and cocoa powder that work together to form some deliciously gooey bites for enjoying after dinner (or for a midnight snack). Agave nectar and coconut oil take the place of the usual sugar and butter, making this dessert the superior healthy option. (via Brit + Co)

Easy Green Smoothie

All you need is four ingredients to master this green smoothie recipe. The greens are entirely hidden behind scoops of protein and banana, so this sipper actually tastes more like dessert than a health drink. Opt for an all-natural, less-processed milk to make this more appropriate for clean eating. (via Brit + Co)

No-Bake Apple Pie Bites

This healthy finger food is perfect because each bite tastes just like apple pie! It leverages honey to sweeten the dough, instead of the usual sugar. Protein powder and flax seeds are the perfect blend for making this filling snack. (via Brit + Co)
