Overview

The Big and Small Contest is open to Instructables that make versions of objects that are either larger or smaller than their real-life counterparts.

So no average-sized projects in this contest, or anything that's at 1:1 scale. To be eligible for this contest, your projects must be REALLY HUGE or itty-bitty tiny!

To make things even more interesting, we are offering a Telescope Judges Prize for the author that thinks the largest, and a Microscope Judges Prize for the author who is focused on the tiniest details.

The Big and Small Contest is closed.

Accepting

Entries are accepted by Instructables staff within one business day Monday - Friday. What matters is the submission time, not acceptance time.
