HEY PEN TURNERS
This is where we get the youth of today started.
Grab that Grandchild, Nephew, God Child, Niece, Little Cousin, ETC...

Get them out to your shop and show them what all the fun is about turning.
Have them make a pen and enter it.
Help them to do it safely and explore the world of making pens.

Then, enter their creations with a few pictures and listen to them ask you "Have I won Yet?"

Here is where we start to grow our hobby.
It is up to you.
Be a leader and share the fun.

Hi... This will be the first contest we'll participate. Evidently, I do not know how the contests on IAP exactly works. I am a bit confused on the 2 "deadlines" mentioned in the rules. Can you please clarify it. Thanks

What #6 means is that the pen CAN NOT have been shown anywhere on the internet.
When you enter it in the contest it will be the first time it is shown to anyone by the internet.

#8 means you can enter your pen anytime after the 1st of FEB......But it has to be into me by Mid-night on the 12th.
Any submissions after that time will not be allowed.

After that the poll will be started and each pen will be voted on by the membership.
No names will be posted with the pens. In case of a tie we will have a run-off to determine which pen gets first place.


Hope that this explains this to you.
Thanks, Wayne

Thanks for the clarification, Wayne. I think I was confused whether we'll be allowed more time after Feb. 1st or not. Much appreciated.

Remind him that this contest and BASH is coming soon.

You need to pick out that winning blank and get it drilled.
Glue in the tubes and let them cure.
And start getting the juices flowing.

Time is slipping by and soon the BASH will be here.
Do Not WAIT.
