Calling all creatives, makers, artists and crafters: CSE is hosting a contest for those attending the Expo. Currently, we will have 3 contests: Flowers, Mushrooms and Airships!


Flowers

Alice has found herself wishing she could talk to the flowers. She was astonished when the Tiger-Lily confirmed that they can! So we are asking that you create a flower that is worth talking to:
Flowers: must be a minimum of 3 feet tall , free standing and remain so independently. Must have a humanoid face. All materials are welcome.

Mushrooms

When Alice had shrunk down to a mere 3 inches, she endeavored to grow to her right size. She’d come across a very large mushroom:

Mushrooms: Sizes may vary: tiny to no more than 4 feet. All mediums accepted.

Airships

Miniature airships: travel from Wonderland to Oz in a hot air balloon, airship or other mode of Ether vehicle. Should be the size of a Christmas tree ornament. Must be able to hang from above.


All items are to be submitted at the event on Saturday 6/13/26, by 10:00 a.m. CDT for judging.

All levels are welcome. Even though this is a contest, the point is to have fun and share your talents with the Steampunk community.
