January 25, 2011

{Spread the word!  Grab a button!}

Alright ladies... I've been seeing such wonderful Knock-offs lately that I decided seven thirty three should host a contest dedicated to Knock-offs.

BASIC PREMISE:
Link up an item that you have created by "Knocking off" a brand - such as recreating a mirror you would see at Pottery Barn or an outfit from Anthropologie.  This is not an anonymous contest, so the more supporters you send to vote for your project the better your chances at winning!
 
Myself and two other wonderful judges (the amazing Michelle from Someday Crafts and Char from Crap I've Made) will pick our top ten favorites and then the voting will be opened up to my readers.
 
PRIZES
The Winner will receive a great prize package with a current value of over $150!
What's in the package?
 $40 Gift Certificate to seven thirty three - - - custom blog design
$25 Gift Certificate to The Pleated Poppy
Two eBooks from Whimsy Couture 
Set of three wine corks from V8 Ambition
Three items from Cutelious
$20 Gift Certificate to Crafty Girls Workshop
One Custom Pillowcase Dress/Swing Top from Paper Pixie Crafts
One pair of earrings and a matching cabochon ring from Craft Monkey Designs
 
The runner up will also receive a smaller prize of:
 $20 gift certificate to seven thirty three - - - custom blog design
One eBook from Whimsy Couture
One custom bottle cap photo necklace from Paper Pixie Crafts
 
{If you would like to contribute to the prize packages and have your company recognized during the event, please email me at 733blog@gmail.com}
 
The contest will run from January 31 - February 11.  The top 10 will be announced on February 13 and voting will be held until Feb 18, with the winner announced on Febuary 19.
 
To participate you must:
a) Post the Knock It Off button in your sidebar
b) Blog about your Knock-off piece, including materials used, a photo of your inspiration piece, and a link back to seven thirty three
c) Link up your Knock-off post to the Knock It Off linky 
 
 Only one entry per blog please.  |  Open to US residents only.
 
Start working on those amazing Knock Offs and then come back here on January 31 to link up!

  5. I am ok with linking up older posts as long as it fits within the guidelines (picture of the inspiration piece included in the post and link back to seven thirty three). Because this is not an anonymous contest it is ok!

    Thanks for asking!
