The Freestyle Pen Contest

[Displaced Canadian]

FREESTYLE PEN CONTEST

Forget thinking outside the box. Stomp the box flat, wipe your feet on it, throw it out the window and forget there ever was a box.

The Rules,
To enter use the following link to the entry form, Freestyle Contest Entry Form
Do not post a picture of the pen in this thread.
The pen must have not been shown on any forum.
It has to write.
To enter one must have their real name and location listed in their user profile and have completed all IAP activities they have signed up for.

The Guidelines
Think the Paris fashion week of pens. The wilder and crazier the better.
This isn't a contest for nice well made pens. This is for the cannons, space ships, battle axes, jet fighters, and sailing ships, robots and whatever else you can come up with. Be fearless.

We have our first 2 entries. Now it's a party.

Can the same pen be entered in multiple categories?

 

[Displaced Canadian]

Without specifics I would say kinda. However the freestyle contest is more for the over the top about 1/2 step over the crazy line. A nice well made pen might not go as far in this category. PM me some details and I'll see if I can point you to the right contest.

 

[Displaced Canadian]

We have our third pen.

Three makes company, right?

 

[plano_harry]

Christopher, I was thinking along the lines of a beautiful freestyle modified marketing pen.

I may get a pen done. Still got 10 days and I am off work 4 of them.

I can't wait to see the entries. The Freestyle Contest has always been the cream of the crop.

The only thing I don't like is;

Quote; ''This isn't a contest for nice well made pens''
I hope this doesn't lower the previous very high standards already set.

Good luck to all the entrants:biggrin:

 

[mredburn]

maybe it should have read " this aint no place for them purdy boutique sissy pens, this is the place for the wild and untamed pen"

 

[firewhatfire]

I was worried about having time to work on my pen. Well today everything went right. My pen is completed just a little tweaking to completion.

 

[Displaced Canadian]

I can tell you standards have not been lowered. To me the purpose of these competitions is to push the edges of normal and try new things. The entrants have definitely set the bar high.

 

[firewhatfire]

twerked my submission all I could. My pen has been submitted. It has been a hoot to play.

 

[hard hat]

Phil, I didn't want to think of you in the shop twerking.

 

[firewhatfire]

My shop looks like a wrecking ball has been through it at the end of the day.:tongue: :biggrin:

maybe that should be tweeking.:bulgy-eyes:

Phil, I didn't want to think of you in the shop twerking.
