Can we have an over-the-top custom stand to go with the pen, or do we need to keep it casual with more standard props like the clear stands?
 
keep the stand simple like the clear ones. THe pen should be the primary focus.
 
I know this is a great contest. Great pens made by the members.


HOWEVER....

There are jus 7 days left to get the youngest turners pen entries in.
Don't forget to help the kids win prizes also.
Besides, it is fun to build a memory!

If Ken doesnt reply I will, I get copies as well. IF you dont have a confirmation reply let me know by pm.
 
No, rollerballs are not considered a ball point pen. Its restricted to Parker Syle refills, and cross style refills. Other brands of the same type refills are ok, just not a roller ball refill.
 
Can you post a link to last years contest entries please?? This contest is the most popular because it is the easiest to enter thus the many entrants. It always draws the most people to and has the most voting involved.
 
*ahem*

This would be a good year to enter the Ballpoint Contest, because I've decided to retire from the Ballpoint Contest. Three consecutive BASH first place finishes in a row is a good stopping point. :)

Everybody have a great time!
