Overview

Our planet is powered by a big, glowing orb in the sky, so it’s only natural that the human eye is drawn to things that glow. In the Make It Glow Contest, we’re celebrating all things bright and glowy. So bust out your lightbulbs, EL wire, candles, fiber optic cable, and anything else that casts a glow and, well… make it glow!

Winners will take home some amazing prizes, including an UP Mini 3D printer, MonkeyLectric glowing bike wheel display systems, Samsung Galaxy tablets, and much more.

We can’t wait to bask in the glow of your brilliant creations!
