I am so stinkin’ excited to announce that I will be hosting the first annual BEST DIY PROJECT CONTEST!!! It is a little somethin’ somethin’ I thought up to end such an amazing year here at Not JUST A Housewife. I want all of you to link up your favorite DIY projects you did this year. With the help of some esteemed guest judges, we will pick the top 5 projects. Then I will open it to voting!!! ALL of you will have the chance to vote for your favorite project to win the Ultimate DIYer prize package!!!!! The linky will go live on January 2nd. The top 5 will be announced on January 9th. Voting will start the 9th and run that whole week. The winner will be announced on January 16th.

Here’s a little sneak peek of the companies who are donating prizes:
The projects will be judged by some of my favorite DIY bloggers!!!! Check out the line up:
The projects will be judged based on creativity, how well it was executed, and visual interest. Basically, if we like the project and think you did a good job :)
Here are the DETAILS:
*You must be a follower of this blog
*You may link up a max of 3 DIY projects (cause I know how hard it is to pick just one….)
*The project(s) must have been done by you (it is alright if you had a little help but the idea and the majority of the work should be YOU)
*The project needs to to have been completed and posted about in 2011
*You need to add the contest button in the post or on your sidebar (I will provide the button code when the contest goes live)
Come Back on January 2nd to link up your projects!!!!!!!

So it has to be something that we have blogged about this year, is that correct? You can’t link anything that you made this year but haven’t yet posted on your blog? I have some things waiting to be posted but was waiting til the new year.
I don’t think I have anything amazing… but it sounds exciting!!
