Join us for the CS Annual Champagne Chair Contest. The rules and guidelines are quite simple: fabricate a chair using champagne cork hardware (muselet & foil), send it to us before December 26, and you'll have a chance at winning gift certificates and seeing your chair and name be featured in our New Year's newsletter, which goes out to our readers around the globe. There will be three gift certificates will be awarded; a $150 gift certificate to first place; $100 to second place and $50 to third place.

This design exercise is quick, fun, and best done during the Christmas season, when drinking champagne seems like the natural thing to do. To get you inspired, we came up with some chairs using only a few tools. If we can come up with these in less than an hour, you can certainly top our attempts.

         

The three winning chairs will be photographed for the official Champagne Sabering's Annual New Years Card, and we will make the chairs available online for the entire international design and CS community to view and admire. Best of luck and have fun.

The Entries will be judged on the following criteria:

• Craftsmanship
• Creativity
• Ingenuity
• The chair must be durable enough to be shipped intact to CS. We will not reassemble your chair.                                  
  

Use all of the materials from no more than two (2) champagne bottles. You are not permitted to use any additional materials.

The chair must measure no more than 4" in height and be shipped in a box measuring no bigger than 12" x 12" X 12”. Submissions need to arrive at our office by December 26, 2007.

Please...only one chair and one submission per individual.


All entries will become the property of CS, so make one for yourself if you're really happy with the end result.

**All entries must be received at CS in our offices not later than December 26, 2009.

The winning entry will be chosen by a jury made up of local residents in either the fields of art, entertainment, design or dining to include:

Rick FRENCH, Founder, Chavlalier-Sabreur
