The 15th annual Birthday Bash is coming. For those of you new to IAP, the Bash is a month long celebration with all types of contests for making pens and other contests with puzzles, trivia, shop photos, and other pen related stuff.
This year we plan on having the following contests. The actual rules will be posted In January for public input and clarifications or changes. The Bash officially starts off Feb. 1st.
The proposed contests are.
Slimline, this will be run by Cody Walker, Cwalker935
Pretty Wood Pen, ran by BrianG
Kitless, ran by SteveJ
The Freestyle Pen contest Taken.
Advanced Casting Contest -taken
Pen Box /Pen stand contest -taken
The Youth Contests. Stonepecker
New this year,
Pretty Resin pen. taken
Segmented Pen contest
The contests as listed are open for discussion. You can throw out your thoughts and recommendations.
I have combined the Pen stand and Box contest this year, we havent had much participation after the first year they were held. Im thinking you will be able to enter one of each.
The segmented pen contest will be for hand segmenting only, it will not allow 3d printed forms filled in with resin. You would be allowed to combine casting and segmenting on the same pen. 3d printing, cnc and laser work would not be allowed in this contest.
The pretty resin pen contest:
I see this as a contest where you can purchase or cast a resin yourself and make a pen. Maybe just resin, no stickers or cards or other combos. Maybe we should only allow cast by member blanks to be used.
Please post your thoughts and recommendations. We will consider them even if we dont use them. You may bring up valid points we had not considered.
Let us know what you think!:highfive:
