Venus Zine’s 4th Annual Craft-Off Contest


Hello All You Wonderful People!!!!

Well if you have some really cool ideas for a Great DIY or Craft Project that cost under $40 for materials than you have got to enter it into the Venus Zine's 4th Annual Craft-Off Contest! They are looking for the funnest, coolest, most creative project you can think of for a great gift idea. It can be an update or upgrade to a cute top or an all out construction project, that may use some unusual items or unexpected addition. Your Project will be published and you will go down in Crafter History forever! Forever! Forever! LOL!! But you will be featured and get a cool Singer Sewing machine!

RULES SHMULES

- Your project should be an innovative, unusual creation using materials whose total cost does not exceed $40. We’re looking for jewelry, clothing, home décor, furniture, bags, accessories, bath and body works, pet goodies, and whatever else you can think of. Try to come up with unexpected uses for objects, or put a new spin on an old favorite. Surprise us with your boundless creativity. The mission is to create gifts to give during the holiday season, but your project doesn’t need to be holiday-themed.

- Your entry consists of two parts:
1. Digital photographs of your project: We will not actually run your photos, so don’t worry about doing a high-tech photo shoot. Instead, we will conduct our own photo shoot for the magazine.

2. A set of instructions for assembling it. How-tos should be concise but sufficiently detailed so that Venus Zine readers may replicate your work. Please include a materials list that gives the approximate cost of each material.

- Any Venus Zine reader is welcome to participate, whether you’re a DIY businessperson or just have a flair for the crafty. Unfortunately, if you’re related to a Venus Zine staffer, you cannot apply. (You know how it goes – we wouldn’t want it to look like we’re biased.)
