Overview

Here at Instructables we just can’t get enough of things made tiny, so we’re running another Pocket Sized Contest! Making something small yet functional is a challenge, but we know you’re up for it.

Any entry that can fit in 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. Think small, palm-sized, and easily pocketable. Show us your pocket sized entry and win a small (yet powerful) GoPro HERO camera and other awesome, pint-sized, pocketable prizes!

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, Netherlands, and Australia. Contest closes for entries at 11:59pm PT, July 23, 2012.

The Pocket-Sized Contest is closed.
