You could be a winner!
Bazaar Bizarre has teamed up with our wonderful sponsor
Etsy to bring you
this amazing contest which will bestow upon the winner a free booth at
Bazaar Bizarre San Francisco, which is held inside the
Maker Faire, along with airfare and hotel accommodations. (Well, up to $1,000 anyway.) The theme of the contest is "upcycling" a term coined by William McDonaugh and Michael Braugart in their book on ecologically intelligent design,
Cradle to Cradle. Here's an excerpt from the Etsy contest page:
In the simplest terms, upcycling is the practice of taking something that is disposable and transforming it into something of greater use and value. In this contest we challenge all Etsy users to create an object to sell on Etsy that is comprised of materials that would have otherwise ended up in the trash heap.
Take a look at all the
great entries that have been submitted already. You can find more details about the contest and submission guidelines
here. Go ahead and open your own Etsy store while you're at it. You'll be glad you did.
