Overview

Cardboard is so plentiful that we often overlook it and throw it away. Instead of bundling it up for recycling, grab a box or two and see what you can create for the Cardboard Contest! Prizes for this contest are graciously provided by Howtoons!

Tape, cut, score, and construct your way to the top and you could win a Howtoons subscription and Canon PowerShot camera! It doesn’t matter how you use the cardboard, as long as you incorporate it into your Instructable you can enter it for a chance to win and be King or Queen of crafting with cardboard!

The Cardboard Contest 2017 is closed.
