In addition to the Universal Bash Guidelines, the contest rules are as follows:

The trademark of this contest is it has the most freedom for creative design.

The Rules
1. It must write.
2. It must be made by you.
3. You may use any and all tools at your disposal as long as you are the one that operates it.

The spirit
This is the contest where we stretch the boundaries of our craft and put more emphasis on the concept and the design than on function. We are looking for the pen that inspires pen design for the next year. In my time as a member here I have seen space ships, modern rifles, medieval weapons, musical instruments, spongebob, a hat with a feather in it, dragons, a stack of animals that were carved out of brass, lab equipment, and others that at present slip my mind. All of these were works of art that also happened to be pens. This is what we are looking for.

Entries
There will be an email address provided to send entries to.
A maximum of three pictures will be posted along with your brief description of your work. Judging will be done by the pictures you provide.
Contest will start Sunday Feb 1st and entries will be accepted through End of day Saturday Feb. 21st.

Judging
Winners will be decided by popular vote.
Pens will be judged by the pen and the stand.
Pictures and polls will be posted on Sunday Feb 22nd and end Wednesday Feb 25th.

Prizes
Prizes will be given to the top three entries.

This is him, poncho pete. Started life as a segmented blank that the hole in the middle was too big to make a pen out of. We are at the first weekend of the bash. Now is the time to put that crazy or completely revolutionary idea into action.
To be clear, this is an entry I made for the 2010 bash. All entries are to be submitted via entry form.
