We are pleased to announce the
2012 Cigar Box Guitar Builders Challenge!
The contest begins immediately. The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2012.
A winner will be announced the first part of January, 2012.
Last year, we didn't have a theme, but this year the theme will be:
Famous Monsters
This can be anything from Dracula, Frankenstein, or The Wolfman, to Predator, Alien, Leatherface, Godzilla, the list goes on. Pictures, images, scales, talons, teeth, all would be good components for a monstrous build! The monster does not necessarily have to be in a movie, but most likely will. If you have a subject monster that was in a book instead, feel free to use that.
We will have some great prizes too, more to follow...
Contest Rules:
The judges will review the pictures and select a winner. The decision of the judges is final.
We will notify everyone of who the judges will be once we get that list finalized. We try to have 3-5 judges on the panel.
Do NOT post your entries or pictures in this thread!
There will be a separate thread for submissions so we can keep all the entries in one place.
Good luck and have fun!!
