Phlatboyz Foam Christmas Tree Contest!
The idea behind this contest is to create the coolest foam Christmas tree around.

It should be easy to assemble and cut out of 1/4" fan fold foam using an 1/8" bit. Therefore, all parts must fit in the safe cutting area of the standard 22" X 42" with a limit of 10 sheets per entry.

Please post a picture of your fully built and decorated Phlatboyz Foam Christmas Tree. It's not necessary to actually build the Phlatboyz Foam Christmas Tree but it would definitely help in the peoples choice award. That's right! This contest will be judged by you guyz! Anyone who visits the Phlatforum between 12/02/09 - 12/8/09 will have the ability to vote on their favorite Phlatboyz Foam Christmas Tree.

We will cut out and build the Phlatboyz Foam Christmas Tree with the most votes during our weekly Wednesday night show on 12/9/09. All votes will be tallied as of 8:00 pm EST on Tuesday, 12/8/09. This will allow us to have some time to try to find decorations that were intended to be used on the winning tree.

Make sure to leave room under the tree for presents

ELIGIBILITY: All Phlatboyz and like-minded individuals. You do not have to be a Phlatprinter owner to enter this contest. Just download SketchUp and install the PhlatScripT plug in and go at it.

Rules: The main structure and everything that is basically visible should be made from 1/4" fan fold foam. If you need to use a wooden dow as a center spar, that would be fine as long as you do your best to hide any non-foam parts. The tree itself can be decorated using any materials you would like. We will do our best to immolate the decorations and design concept you had in mind for our own tree using your actual cut files as our starting point. All entries must be posted on this thread by Tuesday, December 2, 2009. All entries should include the SketchUp file, Phlat Code text file, and any special instructions you may have for building it. Phlat Code should be generated using the PhlatScripT. We will cut out the winning Phlatboyz Foam Christmas Tree on the Phlatprinter using 1/4" fan fold foam with an 1/8" bit. We are not responsible if an entry is not received. When possible, please use the tab and slot construction for ease of build. We will be using hot glue to build the Christmas Trees.

Only one prize will be issued. The Phlatboyz Foam Christmas Tree with the most votes wins! We reserve the right to cancel this contest at any time for any reason. We reserve the right to disqualify any entry, if necessary. We will notify the winner via a private message through the Phlatforum. Only one entry per person. We reserve the right to update these rules at any time during the contest. All posts made by kram242 or theothers in the Phlatboyz Foam Christmas Tree Contest thread will be considered part of the rules (in case we didn't think of something )

PRIZE: One Phlatboyz Bit Kit and The Carew's will use the winning Christmas tree as their official 2009 Christmas Tree
