Show-Your-Support
Bra Contest

(Receive By) Deadline: August 1, 2006

Unveil your creativity, and your bra, and support breast cancer awareness in more ways than one!

Enter for a chance to win by decorating a bra in the theme of your choice. Any bra size and type is eligible. The only restriction is that all bra surfaces must be totally covered. Download and complete the entry form, attach it to the inside of your bra, and mail your entry to the address below by August 1, 2006. (If you want your bra returned, please check the box on the entry form and provide the return postage and packaging.) Bras not returned will be donated to the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute.

All entries must be original, may not have won previous prizes and must not infringe on any third-party rights.

Bras will be judged by a committee of fabric artists selected by the American Sewing Expo and Sew News. From the finalists selected a Grand prize, first-, second- and third-place winner will be chosen. The winners will be publicly announced and the winning bras (and all qualifying entries) will be displayed at the American Sewing Expo, 46100 Grand River Ave., Novi, MI 48375, from Sept. 29 through Oct. 1, 2006. A Viewer's Choice winner will be determined at the show. Winners will be published in the Dec. '06 Sew News.

Each entry will be judged in the following categories: title appropriate to finished bra, overall design execution, workmanship, originality and creative use of materials.
