Welcome to the The IAP Birthday Bash .
This is a contest to find the most beautiful pen made by a beginner for this contest . It is open to any member who has been making pens less then six (6) months and there are some great prizes to be won . This contest is being held on the "honors system" since I can't actually check on how long you've been turning , I hope you will abide by this system . If you are a new member but have been making pens for longer then the last six (6) months there are still contests for you to enter and win so please let the real noobs have a chance to show their work and maybe win something .
I have tried to keep the rules as simple as I can so that everyone can compete on a equal basis .
The rules for The Beginners Beautiful pen contest are ;
1 - It must be a Ballpoint kit pen . No cap style or kitless pens will be accepted .
2 - The pen must be made for the contest by the person entering the contest and not have been shown before Feb 1 2011 .
3 - Only one pen per person , so make it your best work . Take the best pictures you can because the quality of your pen will be based on what we can see . Keep your backgrounds and props simple so they do not distract the eye from your pen . To keep the thread to a manageable size I ask that you only post two (2) pictures per person please .
4 - Winners will be chosen based on the Fit and Finish of your pen . A panel of judges will choose the top 5 pens in each contest and the final 3 in each contest will be chosen by an open poll .
5 - Prizes will be awarded for first , second and third places .
Feel free to contact me by PM if you have any questions .
Now let's see some Beautiful pens !!!
