Get your work published in the Easel Holiday Book!

This holiday season Easel is bringing together the creativity of maker communities in a special project: the first ever Easel Holiday Book. Our vision is simple. No one should have to start from scratch. By collecting and sharing projects from across our community we aim to inspire makers everywhere to remix, remake and adapt ideas into meaningful gifts for the season.

To enter, participants must create and publish an Easel project including a project name, compelling image, an informative description, and of course a design file. Participating in the contest is a chance to give our community’s best ideas the spotlight. The holiday season is always our busiest carving time of the year so we hope this book is a gift back to our community.

Submissions open on November 24th and close on December 24th. To take part, the design must be published in this timeframe.  Projects submitted before or after will not be considered eligible.  

There are 9 categories for prizes in the Easel Holiday Book Contest.  In the design  categories the prizes are:
