2024 IAP 20th Anniversary BASH: Sierra Pen Contest Rules

The idea of the Sierra pen contest is to create a masterpiece using any Sierra or Sierra clone kit that will be voted on by your peers. When voting on your favorite pen, creativity, craftsmanship, and overall fit and finish should be considered.

All contestants must comply with the Universal Contest Rules in addition to the following rules.

Pen requirements:
  • Must use a Sierra kit or any Sierra style clone
  • No kit modifications allowed
  • Can use any blank type - wood, hybrid, resin, 3D printed, or alternative materials
  • Blanks can be made by the turner or purchased.
  • Pen must be turned
  • Only one entry per person
  • Entry can not be used for any other contest
  • Entry must not have been shown anywhere prior to entering the Bash

  • Address (prizes may be mailed)
  • Submit 2-3 photos that are at least 800x600 and no more than 256kb in size. Photos may be resized or cropped if needed
    • Select a solid color plain background that compliments your pen and makes it stand out
    • Use a simple stand that does not distract from the pen. (preferably clear plastic) No other props allowed
    • Photos cannot contain anything that may be an indication of who the maker is.
  • Include a brief description of the kit, blank, and any special processes or features. Descriptions may be edited to eliminate any indication of the maker

  • If there are ties in the finals poll for any of the top three spots there will be a runoff poll to determine the winner of the tie.

A question was asked about the Diamond Knurl Ballpoint being allowed as a Sierra style component set and it is in fact allowed along with the LeRoi.

There are a lot of great entries coming in and we are down to less than a week to get your entries in. I'm guessing it will be a busy week for some.

if the kit uses a Sierra tube, does it count as a clone???
Zephyr, Ares and Sirroco all use Sierra tubes and i am sure there are many others
Where have you been?? Have not seen you on the site in quite some time. Hope all is well.
