America's Next Top Crafter


Forget Tyra Banks and Simon Cowell and reality television - the real contest of this fall is the Venus Zine 4th Annual Craft-Off Contest!

One of our very favorite magazines, Venus has long been the standard bearer when it comes to introducing you to the hottest and most innovative women in music, art, film, fashion and business. Fiercely DIY, Venus encourages and rewards adults who never gave up on crafts through their annual "Craft-Off". Past winners and runners-up have included resin rings, recycled totes, and handmade belt buckles. You can peek at the 2007 winner's gallery here.

So dust off your thinking caps and get to crafting! Entries cannot cost more than $40 and must be received by September 18, 2008. Check out complete rules here. The winner gets a Singer 8763 Curvy sewing machine.. who doesn't love a machine with curves?!
