Overview
Hey all you Instructables lurkers, newcomers, and wallflowers! We designed this First-Time Author Challenge because we want you to come out from the shadows and experience the pleasure of publishing your very own set of instructions for a project. There’s nothing quite like inspiring another human being to make something with their hands. And this time, you have a chance to win an iPad Mini and a coveted Instructables T-shirt.
The contest is open to first-time Instructables authors only. Simply create your first Instructable, enter it in this contest, and you’re golden! We’re looking for a quality presentation: make it look appealing with beautiful, clear photos. Also, we want to see reproducibility: make sure you explain in detail how to make your project. Finally, we will weigh the originality of the project.
The Instructables community is a fun space to watch, but it’s even more amazing when you participate. Come on in, the water’s fine!

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