We are pleased to announce the
2013 Cigar Box Guitar Builders Challenge!
The contest begins immediately. The deadline for submissions is midnight, December 31, 2013.
A winner will be announced the first part of January, 2014.
This year the theme will be:
Steampunk
From Urban Dictionary: Steampunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction, usually set in an anachronistic Victorian or quasi-Victorian alternate history setting. It could be described by the slogan "What the past would look like if the future had happened sooner." It includes fiction with science fiction, fantasy or horror themes.

Contest Rules:
Once the submission period ends, all comments in the submission thread from other CBN members will be deleted to make it easier for the judges to review the entries. The judges will review the pictures and select a winner.
The decision of the judges is final.
We will notify everyone of who the judges will be once we get that list finalized. We try to have 3-5 judges on the panel.
Do NOT post your entries or pictures in this thread!
There will be a separate thread for submissions so we can keep all the entries in one place.
You can post your entries HERE!
Good luck and have fun!!

Does it have to be a cigar box, or can it be a wine box? (My cigar boxes are too pretty to junk up, but I have a perfect wine box.)
Dan told me it had to be a cigar box and i may have to prove it .
Well, I can prove it's a wine box, but that doesn't help me much! Very good, I'll look through the collection.
Sorry to be picky about the cigar box thing. But, the name of this site IS Cigar Box Nation, and it is about cigar box guitars.
I'm sure you can find a box you can use that won't require you to screw up one of your nice ones.
Can I make one out of cigars...without the box?
Then your licks will be 'smokin' <rimshot>
Inlay a lid from a cardboard box onto a larger box. You've just increased the volume and fortified the construction.
Yep, it's not Wine Box Nation, is it? ;-)
It wouldn't be an internet contest without a few people bitching and calling names about it.
