Overview

The Instructables Text Contest is a celebration of the beauty and creativity found in text, and letters!

In this contest, we invite you to design and create a project that showcases your appreciation for the art of typography. It could be a piece of digital art, a hand-drawn poster, a 3D printed sculpture, or anything else that represents your unique take on text.

Remember, the focus of your project should be on text. You can use any kind of text, be it a single letter, a word, a quote, or a whole paragraph. The sky's the limit!

So why wait? Grab your tools, let your imagination run wild, and start creating. We're eager to see what you come up with!

There's a special Judges Prize up for grabs specifically for a student created entry (ages 13 and over, open to those enrolled in school or homeschooled). Make sure you specify your School and Age to qualify for the Judges Prize.
