NEW CONTEST: Origami versions of other books?

12 at 7:58 pm · Filed under Uncategorized

Hey SuperFolders!
Let’s change things up a bit here with a contest for books that are not MY books.
To enter this contest, you make, photograph and send in origami characters from other books, like, say, Captain Underpants!

You can pick ANY book you want, as long as it (a) not mine and (b) rated PG! I especially encourage you to pick your FAVORITE book.

Entries are due on Dec. 16. Please send in only original designs, although you are of course welcome to use my Yoda, Darth, Han, etc… as a starting point.
The prize will be a SIGNED copy of Wonderstruck, by Brian Selznick!

Send entries to contest@origamiyoda.com
