NAME BADGE CONTEST

HOME

Are you ready for the 2011 Gourd Artist Gathering in Cherokee? Do you have your name badge completed and ready to enter the 2011 Name Badge Contest? If you’ve done this before, you know what to expect. If this is your first year, here are the guidelines:

1. Make your name badge out of a GOURD (or a piece of gourd).

2. Put your FIRST name and LAST name on the badge.

3. Include the STATE or country you come from.

That’s so EASY! You get to decide whether to make a pin, necklace, hat, pendant, or anything else that will help identify you. Here’s your chance to be original and creative, SO GO FOR IT. We’re expecting a lot of new faces this year and wearing a name badge is a good way to get acquainted. This contest is always fun and we’re hoping to have a lot of entries for 2011. Our theme for the event is "Gourds in the Wind", so we're looking forward to seeing all the "windy" name badges everyone comes up with! Don't forget to make a name badge for anyone else who might be coming with you (spouse, family member, or friend).

Here are pictures of 2010 winners ~ the theme was

"Who is that Masked Gourd?"
