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.
