3D Printed Wall Art Design Contest – ON NOW!

3D Printed Wall Art Design Contest – ON NOW!

Hi everyone,

As we alluded to last week when we announced the winners of the Kids’ Toys Contest, we have a brand new design contest lined up for you. The theme for this month, is 3D printed wall art, and you can win $500 in Pinshape credit along with having your designs listed for sale on Amazon! The contest is now open and will end at 11:59:59 PST on August 29.

 

Some Ideas to Get You Started

You’ll need to channel your inner Rodin or Da Vinci and come up with your own original work that is cool, unique and that could be hung on a wall somewhere. The theme is open to your imagination and you can create whatever you want, as long as it was made to hang on a wall. To get your creative juices flowing, here are a few examples of the types of things that would qualify:

  • your take on historical and famous art
  • taxidermy-style mounted busts
  • words/letter pack to form a quote
  • signs for business or home (opened, closed, beware of dog, home sweet home etc)
  • stained-glass inspired art
  • lightswitch covers for your kids
  • hangable wall clocks with links to additional mechanical and electrical components to complete a build
  • memorabilia display mounts (for hockey sticks, guitars, footballs, baseballs

These are just a few of the possibilities that come to mind, and I’m sure you’ll all impress us with many more that you come up with.
