[FONT=&quot]Welcome to the Pen Box Making Contest.

This contest is open to everyone. You are encouraged to think outside the box when designing your Pen Box.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In addition to the Universal Bash Guidelines, the contest rules are as follows:

1- The box should be made to hold one pen. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
2- Any materials and methods may be used in the construction of the box and should be readily available to anyone. Since CNCs and lasers are not comm[FONT=&quot]o[/FONT]n in most sh[FONT=&quot]ops, use of these [FONT=&quot]will not be allowed.

[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][FONT=&quot] 3 - A short description of the box and the steps in creating the box must be submitted with no more than 4 pictures of the box. One picture must show a commercial style stick pen or a "free bee" advertising pen in the box. This is so no one will recognize one of "your" pens.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]4-The Pen Box may not have been posted anywhere before the February [FONT=&quot]21st[/FONT] deadline. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
5- You may submit up to 2 pen boxes in this contest. Each box must be submitted on a separate entry form available here..[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
6-The contest will start on February [FONT=&quot]1[/FONT] and entries will be due no later than Sunday the [FONT=&quot]21st[/FONT] at 11:59pm [FONT=&quot]Hawaii time[/FONT]. Entry Forms will be available at the start of the bash. Pictures will be posted and a poll or polls will be taken to determine the winning 3 pen box(es). Voting will last for 72 hours after posting the poll.
Depending on the [FONT=&quot]number[/FONT] of submissions, we may need to have more than 1 poll to select the winning [FONT=&quot]P[/FONT]en B[FONT=&quot]ox[/FONT] .

Submissions:

7- All entries are due no later than 11:59pm[/FONT][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot] [FONT=&quot]Hawaii time[/FONT],[/FONT] Sunday February [FONT=&quot]21[/FONT].
You must use the entry form that will be provided to submit your pen box(es)..

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

Prizes:
1st place --- [FONT=&quot]TB[FONT=&quot]D[/FONT][/FONT]
2nd place---[/FONT][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]TB[FONT=&quot]D[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]

Hi Mannie,
Thanks fpr getting this event going.

This is a clarification suggestion. We are always thinking "pens"...but this is "pen boxes". So item 5, 6, and 7 need to change from reading "pen(s)" to reading "pen box(es)"

 

[Monty]

Thanks for pointing that out. You know, you can read something 5 or 6 times or more and still miss something like that. I'll get it changed.

5- There will be an entry form to submit your pen box(es).

Manny, kindly confirm that more than one(1) entry can be entered for this contest. I have multiple boxes that I would like to enter when the contest opens.

Thanks.

Rule clarification

Thanks for running this contest.

The boxes that I provide with my pens are designed by me but the major production work is done by a fellow artist who does not do pens. Are these eligible for entry?

Thanks.

Had to think about this for a few days.
We'll allow 2 boxes per member. The boxes must be on separate entry forms.
So I'll [FONT=&quot]modify rule #5...
[FONT=&quot]You may submit up to 2 pen boxes in th[FONT=&quot]is contest. Each box [FONT=&quot]must be submitted on a [FONT=&quot]separate[/FONT] entry form available here.
