Overview

Back by popular demand! Good things come in small packages, and now is your chance to show us. Share anything that can fit inside your pocket to win some great pocketable prizes! Anything that can fit into a pocket can be entered. If you have to describe the pocket the item would fit into, it's not pocket-sized. So those big baggy cargo pants pockets are out. We’re looking for small palm-sized projects.

We’ve got a GoPro camera to give away and our friends at ThinkGeek have supplied the amazing Makey Makey, allowing anyone to become an instant musician! So get your hands out of your pockets and start making! Need some inspiration? Check out the entries from the last Pocket Sized Contest!

Multiple entries are accepted, but each entrant can only win one prize. Contest is open to entries from US, Canada [excluding Quebec], UK, China, Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia,  Colombia, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, India, and Denmark. Contest closes for entries at 11:59pm PT, February 4, 2013.

The winner(s) will be solely responsible for complying with any and all applicable statutes, laws (including, without limitation, common law, if applicable), rules and regulations and for bearing any personal income tax, VAT, withholding taxes, customs duties, or other taxes, fees, insurance, surcharges or other costs relating to receiving, claiming or collecting any prize.

The Pocket Sized Contest is closed.
