Overview
Welcome to the Instructables Paper and Cardboard Contest! This competition encourages you to tap into your creativity and construct a project that incorporates any type of paper or cardboard.
The flexibility of paper and cardboard as primary materials provides limitless opportunities for imagination and innovation. You can fashion intricate origami figures, erect robust cardboard structures, or create delicate papier-mâché masterpieces – the possibilities are endless. You may choose to repurpose old newspapers or cardboard boxes, or you might prefer to use a fresh set of vibrant construction paper or premium craft cardboard.
This contest celebrates not just the final outcome but also the creative process. We invite you to think unconventionally, experiment with various techniques, and most importantly, enjoy the crafting journey. Remember, the process of creation is as significant as the end product itself. So, let your creativity take flight, and have fun crafting!
There's a special Judges Prize up for grabs specifically for a student created entry (ages 13 and over, open to those enrolled in school or homeschooled). Make sure you specify your School and Age to qualify for the Judges Prize.
