The monsters are rollin’ in, and they are awesome! You guys have been so creative on how you’ve used the designs, it’s going to be so hard to pick the 10 finalists.

If you haven’t yet, take a peek at all the monster entries for our Monster Bash contest (details here) in the flickr slideshow below, or take a peek at them over on the flickr gallery.

Haven’t entered yet? Don’t worry, you still have time! Grab the Monster Factory pack and submit your monster by Feb. 29, 2012 at 11:59 p.m to automatically win a $5 gift certificate and give your monster a chance at fame and glory!

What are you waiting for? Go play Dr. Frankenstein…

Hot on the heels of our new Monster Factory collection, we couldn’t show you all those fun monsters we made without inviting you to make some of your own. So, without further ado, we present a brand new contest, the Monster Bash!

Once you’ve grabbed your Monster Pack, it’s on you to create your very own custom monster, in any way you like. C’mon, you know you’re dying to make one.  It can be anything, from a plushie creation, to stitching monster faces on a shirt, to creating a crazy monster bag. Any monster will do! Once your monster is complete, we want to see!

Snap a picture of your monster(s) and e-mail him to us at contest@urbanthreads.com – either send us the photo itself, or if you’ve uploaded your pic to the Urban Embroidery flickr group, just tag it utmonster and send us a link to the photo. But either way, you MUST email us your monster to enter! Why? Well, I’ll tell you why…

Just for sharing your awesome monster creation, you automatically get a FREE $5 gift certificate to Urban Threads! Direct from us to you for taking part in our awesome monster making endeavor. (You may enter as many monsters as you like, but you only get ONE gift certificate, no matter how many monsters you create).

That’s not all … submit your monster and grab your gift certificate by the deadline of Feb. 29, 2012 at 11:59 p.m., (that’s the end of February) and your monster is entered in the contest to win the crown of King of the Monsters!

The gang here at Urban Threads will pick our ten favorite finalists, and then on Friday, March 2 we’ll post those finalists up here for everyone to vote on their favorite! Voting will last through the weekend, and we’ll announce the winner on the following Monday.

The winning monster will win a permanent feature in our shiny new lookbook for everyone to see, with the name of the crafter who made the winning monster, plus major bragging rights as the crafty creator who made the King (or Queen) of the Monsters! That’s a title not many people can claim.
