For this contest, build a small decorative box, no larger than 16″ in width, length or height. To qualify, your box must have a lid, and the lid can be of any style you can dream up.\u00a0It can have a hinge . . . \u00a0or no hinge. Or it could be a sliding lid or a fitted lid. Get creative and use any decorative techniques you’d like to make your box stand out: consider inlay, marquetry, carving, sculpting, book matching, figured woods etc. Since all projects must have a lid, do something spectacular with it.<\/p>\n

Your box can be any shape or style, leaving\u00a0you a lot of room for interpretation. It doesn’t have to be a\u00a0straight-sided box – lathe-turned hollow forms with lids are welcome as well.\u00a0Run with it. But remember, this is a woodworking contest. You are\u00a0welcome to include\u00a0materials other than wood in your project, however your primary goal should be to demonstrate your skills with wood more than, say, stone or metal.<\/p>\n

Space is limited to 100\u00a0entries. Register now.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Even if you’re not 100% certain you can complete your project by the deadline, please register\u00a0and do not delay. This helps us plan for the reception and the space required to display the projects. It’s better for you to be registered\u00a0and drop out of the contest if needed than it is for you to wait until it’s too late.<\/p>\n

Complete Your Project, Get $50 Store Credit:<\/b><\/p>\n

All entries receive $50 store credit on March 14 upon project delivery. Yes, you keep your project and<\/em> we give you $50. However, we keep the projects for one week while the panel of judges inspect each project to determine the winners.<\/p>\n

Plus you get\u00a0a chance to win prizes from great woodworking vendors.<\/p>\n
