How To Enter the Gorilla Glue Cardboard Contest

How To Enter the Gorilla Glue Cardboard Contest
We've partnered with Gorilla Tape and Gorilla Glue to bring you the Gorilla Glue Cardboard Contest!

Simply create something wonderful using any type of cardboard: corrugated or flat, boxes or tubes. You can use any type of adhesive (from Gorilla or not), fasteners, components, and decorations, but your project must include cardboard as a major element.

Gorilla glues, tapes, and epoxy are made for the toughest jobs on planet Earth! Gorilla products work when others fail, the first time, every time, helping people around the world build, create, and repair everything in their life. The Gorilla motto: build it, don't buy it, and repair it, don't replace it!

So show us what cool toys, furniture, tools, decorations, or other amazing things you can make from cardboard. Whether it's fun or functional, we can't wait to see what you'll make!

International entries are OK.
Multiple entries to the contest are allowed, but each entrant can only win one prize.

Aug 19, 2009. 1:56 PMfungus amungus says:
Yours isn't in because it only has the intro and no instructions for how to make it. It needs to be a full instructable to enter the contest.
Jul 16, 2009. 6:07 AMDIYDragon says:
Ah, cardboard.. such a versatile, and wonderful material. Not sure what I can make with mainly cardboard.. Usually it's a helper for something else. :D
Aug 19, 2009. 6:48 AMCreativeman says:
You could make a dragon out of cardboard, DIY Dragon! Cman
Jul 16, 2009. 12:24 PMcanida says:
It doesn't have to be mostly or entirely cardboard - just a major component. We generally try to be pretty flexible on these things. That said, if you make something almost entirely of cardboard, it's sure to give bonus points. ;)

DRAT! I'm too late to enter, but this reminds me of a cardboard boat race in my area that I have participated in in the past. Jolly good fun!

Too late? The contest closes in 3 weeks.

When you create your instructable, there is a place where you can enter it into the contest on the screen.
Jul 28, 2009. 11:16 AMia1900 says:
Thanks for your reply. If I understood you right; so I have to first creat an instructable; then I will be directed on the screen to enter into a contest? is that right? Thanks,
Jul 28, 2009. 11:22 AMGoodhart says:
There should be a spot as you are creating the instructable, or saving it anyways, where you can open a drop down window and choose to save it to various open contest(s)

Can we use paper instead of cardboard????
Jul 20, 2009. 4:58 PMMegaMaker says:
Probly not, as the title is "Gorilla Glue Cardboard Contest".
Jul 25, 2009. 7:10 PMdanqtoo says:
I hope this is not viewed as an attack, but think it is extremely important for people to know; even some veterinarians aren't aware of this: Gorilla Glue and others of the type are EXTREMELY dangerous to pets. If it is eaten, even a VERY SMALL amount, it literally fills the stomach with foam, which then hardens into a solid plug. A friend's dog ate less than a teaspoon, and had to have her stomach opened up to surgically remove the mass. It would have killed her if we had waited to see how she was the next day, as the first vet recommended. Gorilla Glue is great stuff! but be very careful to keep it safely away from pets and small children.

Wow!! I'm all over this contest. I've been playing with cardboard for years. This may be when I author my first instructable.
Jul 22, 2009. 7:12 AMMegaMaker says:
My first 2-3 Instructables. Lol.
Jul 20, 2009. 5:01 PMMegaMaker says:
In about 30 mins to 2 hours I will have my 'Ible up. I may put up a second one, to.
Jul 20, 2009. 12:00 PMbriackman says:
fungus amungus, how can you let non-compliant projects into the contest, i've seen THREE projects that dont include cardboard as a major element!!! im joking, but seriously, dont let non-compliant entries in the contest!
Jul 20, 2009. 12:02 PMfungus amungus says:
Jul 20, 2009. 1:55 PMbriackman says:
wood is not a heavy duty paper, its WOOD, so theres only 1 non compliant entry, but i'm still right :)
Jul 20, 2009. 1:56 PMbriackman says:

Nope, not at all! (although that IS a brilliant idea). It was a throw-away comment, but . . . watch this space.
Jul 16, 2009. 10:21 AMkill1234 says:
isn't that going to BBQ the cardboard, not the food?
Jul 15, 2009. 2:43 PMkelseymh says:
Dude, aren't you supposed to end that with maniacal laughter?
Jul 15, 2009. 2:50 PMAndyGadget says:
We've only done secret base building and cat stroking in my World Domination night-classes so far. I think Maniacal Laughter is next week.
Jul 15, 2009. 11:45 PMsctirvn687 says:
