DIY Style Contest This Week!

Since I know this city is overflowing with creative talent, I figured I would pass this along…

As part of their first-ever “DIY Style Week,” TODAY.com is asking readers to share their DIY style projects—accessories, clothing, shoes, whatever—for a chance to win a DIY prize pack including roughly $200 worth of cool crafting goodies as well as a post on their Web site about their project.

All you have to do is submit a photo and/or video of your creation/design along with a short essay about the project (100 words or less). You’re allowed a total of eight entries (one per day) between now and 5 p.m on Friday. TODAY style editor, Bobbie Thomas will select a winner on Nov. 1.

Considering how simple the contest is, I encourage anyone working on any sort of style/design fixer-upper or craft to enter. As an additional incentive, I’m even going to welcome readers to share their DIY style project with PW Style.

That’s right, submit a photo and/or video to pwstyle@philadelphiaweekly.com, tell us a little about you and the project and next week, we’ll highlight the submissions on this here blog (unless it’s just absolutely terrible). Deadline: Friday afternoon.

In the meantime, should you just be looking for some tips or inspiration, TODAY.com will also be posting a different DIY style tutorial from pros each day this week. Here’s the lineup:

Monday: TODAY style editor Bobbie Thomas

Tuesday: Erica Domesek of PS I Made This

Wednesday: Geneva Vanderzeil of A Pair and A Spare

Thursday: Kristen Turner of Glitter ‘n Glue

Friday: Jenni Radosevich of I Spy DIY

Ok, so what are you waiting for? Start crafting!
