Welcome to this years Youth pen contests just for the younger turners of the IAP.

You may submit a picture of yourself holding the pen for final posting but it will not be used for judging the pens.

We have some very talented young adult turners last year and I look forward to their submissions again this year. THe primary reason we dont let the adults enter this contest is to save you embarrassment. Thats right, they would whip the socks off you and cause you to hide your head in shame...
Just because you act 14 doesnt mean you can enter Either. I suggest you find a child, yours, the neighbors, even a grandchild or two and make a pen with them and help build a brighter future! (Some where a flag is waving and a band plays) A very big thank you to Ed Ice house and his support of our young adult pen turners.

I'm sure you could. But who cares? Do you really want to ruin a contest?

I should have phrased my original message differently to: think we SHOULD narrow it down from there?

There is still time to buckle down and make a pen. Now I cant say skip classes or dont go to Karate or Hockey or Soccer Practice but you might have to consider it if your pen isnt done yet. Just saying........... Well Ok I can say skip the practice but not your classes. Maybe its a good woodshop project! Do we still have wood shop classes in school?
