Best of IAP Contest

Besides we understand that it was decided to do in short order and its a begining. Im pretty sure that catagories will change or be redifined. That rules can be fine tuned if needed etc. I think its a great start and would like to see it continue as an annual event.

And also, a wood pen might win!! That was only one mans opinion that (most likely) a wooden pen wont win. I have seen some amazing wood pens on here that i think could easily win a contest, as the categories stand, so im not going to rule any pen out of any category, even the kitless and casting :)
 
I wasnt refering to the question, i just think there are a lot of people on here that make great wooden pens, kitless as well, and i think they stand as much a chance as any other pens. Some here dont make acrylic pens, and I just dont want anyone who is just making a wooden pen to be discouraged and think that there wooden pen doesnt stand a chance. We need everyone to enter. We all have a chance. We also dont know exactly what the judges are looking for. Come on guys, make those pens.:biggrin:

well, that was fun! spent a good piece of the weekend in the shop working on a really cool idea, got through almost all of the steps and managed what I believe the kids today call an "epic fail" :biggrin: Had a great time and still have a great idea...maybe even have a winner....for next year! Good luck to everyone who is participating, I look forward to your successes!
 
Well, I managed to complete mine yesterday. Its leaving out today at noon, via Express mail! Hope the judges dont laugh at mine either. May the most talented artists win!

just remember me in your acceptance speech! I made three...not one, not two, but three blanks to work with and managed a different "fail" on each of them!...the base layer was a label cast...I've done dozens...and one of them bubbled, one silvered, the 3rd escaped the mold and was not re-castable due to the goodies in the casting mix....c'est la vie! I do have "proof of concept" and will definitely pursue this pen!

Im thinking more along the lines of a Sticky in the SOYP that all of our entries go into. So we post it in SOYP but it goes into the Stickey, so that we dont get 150 pens being shown all in one thread, and thousands of comments about them. I would like to show multiple pictures and comment on everyones great work and if everyone does that we could end up with a 1000 page thread, and everyone would have to go through all of the pages just to see all of the pens. I think this would be more effective.
 
I will be glad to lend you guys some photos of my old work if that would help a guy out.:biggrin:

Yes, after 9/21 you can post pictures! And I also think one thread stickied for that purpose on SOYP would be perfect!

The entries are pouring in now. There are some exciting pens being entered! The judges will have their work cut out for them!

Scott.
