Welcome back to the Youth Pen Making Contest just for the younger turners of the IAP.

This contest is to let our youngest members and turners, as well as our adult members children compete in the Summer Extravaganza.

This contest is for those under the age of 18.

The contest rules are as follows.

1-Ball Point Pens AND roller balls are allowed. NO Fountain pens will be accepted.

2-No laser work or CNC produced pens or parts are allowed.

3-It must be made from a commercially available kit. There will be no modifications to the kits allowed.

4-Adults may assist in the turning of the pen but the entrants must have "hands on" in the making of the pen. You are the best judge of your childs abilities to use power tools. Keep it safe!

5-A short description of the pen and the actual work done by the child needs to be submitted with the pen.

6-The pen may not have been posted anywhere before the August 22nd Deadline.

7-Up to three pictures of the pen may be submitted.

8-The contest will start on August 1st and entries will be due no later than August 22nd at Midnight. Pictures will be posted and a poll or polls will be taken to determine the winning 3 pens. Depending on the amount of submissions, we may need to have more than 1 poll to select the winning pens.

Submissions:

9-All entries are due 11:59pm EST. August 22nd.
You must email contest entries to EBORRAGA@GMAIL.COM
YOU MUST SUBMIT THE PEN UNDER YOUR PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS/ADULT USER NAME.

10-If you"re old enough to be a member you may use your own member name.


11-All entries will be posted at the same time following the contests deadline. This will give all entries the same time "in the spotlight".

Rules are subject to change for clarification or safety.

Please take the time to teach your child the safety rules for working with the tools we use. Have fun and show us your Beautiful pens!

We are working on prizes at this time. Once we establish the prizes I will post them.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED.

Box
Of
Blanks

Most likely some special blanks. Could be wood, could be a mixture.
A BOB is just a great gift to the beginner as there usually is something in the box the winner hasn't tried yet.

Good luck with his entry

BOB is what Wayne said, A Box Of Blanks. Hopefully this doesn't deter your son from entering.

Ernie, I have studied the rules for this contest, and it does not state people have to let the kids know if they won, so I have a plan. . .

I am going to rent a van and write "Free Candy" and "Really awesome puppies" on the side, and take those kids to the shop... No wait, that is not the best idea. . .
