You also have to be over 16 years of age.<br/> <a href="#top">back to top</a></li> <li><a name="entering"><h3>Entering</h3></a><br />You automatically enter the competition by listing the item on Folksy with the tag "sueryder" (all one word). By adding this tag it will mean the item can't be bought from the main site and will be entered for the auction automatically in December. <br/> <br>You can enter as many items as you want (limited only by the time available to you!). <br /> <br>When listing your item please describe in as much <b>detail</b> as possible what second hand materials you used to make your item and where you got the materials from and <b>what inspired you</b> to make your thing. The more detail you provide the more appealing the item will be for the judging panel!<br /> <br>You <b>will not be charged</b> a listing fee for entering the competition. </br> <br><a href="#top">back to top</a></li> <li><a name="competition-criteria"><h3>Competition Criteria</h3></a><br />Your work will be judged on 4 things: best 'craftmanship'; best use of (upcycled) materials; best innovative piece; appealingness which equates to playfulness / fun. There will also be one winner chosen by Folksy users - the most favourited item.<br /><a href="#top">back to top</a></li> <li><a name="closing-date"><h3>Closing Date</h3></a><br />The closing date for entries is <b>18:00 GMT on Saturday 5th December 2009</b><br /><a href="#top">back to top</a></li> <li><a name="cost-of-postage"><h3>Cost of Postage</h3></a><br />Items won in auction need to be posted by you. Folksy will re-imburse you for the cost of postage (via paypal) within 7 days of the competition ending so you will not be out of pocket.<br /><a href="#top">back to top</a></li> <li><a name="the-auction"><h3>The Auction</h3></a><br /> The auction will be run by Folksy and appear closer to the end of the competition. The auction will run from the 7th Dec - 13th Dec allowing you sufficient time to post the item by second class post to arrive before Christmas in the UK (the last postage day is the 18th). If people buy from overseas we need to make them aware they may not receive the goods in time for Christmas. <br /><a href="#top">back to top</a></li> <p><a name="competition-terms"><h3>Competition Terms</h3></a><br />By entering the competition you agree to comply with the Folksy Terms of Use and the additional points: <ol> <li>Not to remove your item from the competition / auction</li> <li>To make your items <b>entirely</b> from second hand / used materials with the exception of inks and dyes and threads (thanks Leanne!) and filmy / sculp and all that "joining up" stuff. .</li><a href="#top">back to top</a> <p><a name="stores"><h3>Participating Sue Ryder Care stores</h3></a><br />There are <b>14 participating Sue Ryder Care stores</b> which you can <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=100226488170901120867.000475cd623092a97b794&ll=52.895649,-2.285156&spn=5.55479,19.753418&z=6">see on this map</a>.
