Squirrel making contest at Brooklyn General

The crafty peeps at Brooklyn General have created a habitat in their storefront window - a warm, wooly tree. Now this tree needs some new friends! So go forth and make a squirrel!

OFFICIAL RULES

What Counts as a Squirrel? Any rodent-type animal with a fluffy tail who likes nuts. Squirrels must be 3-D.

They may be knit, sewn, crocheted, felted or fabricated out of any naturals you desire. Please no taxidermy or you will be bitten!

Call for Entries: First 10 entries get a free Brooklyn General t-shirt. Entries can be hand delivered or mailed to Brooklyn General Store, 128 Unions St,, Brooklyn, NY, 11231. They may come from any part of the world. Squirrels will be judged on originality, craftmanship, and all around cuteness.

Dates and Deadlines: Call for entries begins on April 15^th. Contest ends May 15^th and squirrels must be received by that date. Squirrels will be kept on display in the shop until June 30th. Winning squirrels will be posted on our blog the week following the contest with links to winner’s blogs if desired.

Rules & Restrictions: All squirrels must be hand made by the participant. Youth entries must be made with minimal parent involvement. They can be made from patterns or self-designed. You can submit up to three squirrels. They can be as small as you like, but no bigger than 15 inches. If you want your squirrel to be returned you must include a self-addressed, appropriately sized, padded envelope with the correct postage already on the envelope. Postage for the return of squirrels will be the sole responsibility of the participant. There is no insurance on return shipping and safe delivery of wayward squirrels is not guaranteed.
