Overview

For the first time ever Instructables.com is coming out of the dark and hosting a Lamps and Lighting contest! We have seen some really illuminating light projects posted to Instructables - so we decided to up the ante and offer up some prizes too.

Got a bright idea for a lamp? Make it and publish it! We are beaming with anticipation for all of the great lamp projects Instructables authors are ready to post.

Multiple entries are accepted, but each entrant can only win one prize. Contest is open to entries from US, Canada [excluding Quebec], UK, China, Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia, Colombia, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, India, and Denmark. The Contest begins at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time (PT), March 4, 2013. Contest closes for entries at 11:59pm PT, April 15, 2013.
