3rd Annual Paper New Beetle Design Contest

[marvins_dad]

It's that time again!!!

We were trying to figure out how to involve everyone in the world in the Texas New Beetle Round-Up...the best way is to invite everyone to Dallas for the show (which will be worth the trip)...but seeing that some people might not be able to drive across the ocean we thought it might be cool to have a contest that will be judged at the show for anyone that has internet access.....

This is what we came up with......

Paper New Beetle contest for EVERYONE!!!

This year we are holding a contest for anyone that wants to participate.

We will have two categories - Internet Entries and Show Entries

Designing your Paper New Beetle -
Once you download the jpeg image you can import it into your favorite graphics program and style it up, then print out on card stock and cut out…
OR
Simply print out the Paper New Beetle on card stock, decorate, color and design it anyway your heart desires!

Internet Entries -
To participate simply download the paper beetle and design away!
All Entries must be printed on card stock and fully cut out (please fold and then unfold the model before mailing). Include the completed "Internet Paper Beetle" Placard so we can identify your entry. Beetles can be mailed flat in an envelope as long as it has been cut out by the entrant before mailing.
Then mail your entry to:
Texas New Beetle Round-Up
P.O. Box 631575
Irving, TX 75063-1575
***Note we cannot return your paper new beetle after the show.

Show Day Entries -
To participate simply download the paper beetle and design away!
Print your paper beetle out on card stock and assemble.
Bring the completely assembled and designed paper beetle along with the "Show Paper Beetle" Placard filled out.
