August Reuse & [Re]Think Contest: Wooden Stamps

The wooden stamp, with roots tied to woodblock printing and the invention of synthetic rubber, has a fascinating progression in history that leads up to the mail art movement of the 1960s. Today, clear acrylic stamps are the wave of the future, leaving thousands of wonderful, wooden stamps behind. For August’s Reuse & [Re]Think Challenge, we’re challenging you to creatively reuse this relic and bring it back into the modern conversation!

Submission:

Once you’ve completed your creation, please provide at least 2 photos of your art piece, your contact info and a short description of materials used. Email your submission to rethink@austincreativereuse.org by the deadline.

Creations will be judged on incorporation of reuse materials, craftsmanship, and creativity.

One winner will be notified and receive a $25 gift card to ACR that can be redeemed either in center or our online store. They will also be announced on our social media.

Deadline: 11:59PM on Thursday, August 31st

Please feel free to email rethink@austincreativereuse.org with any questions. Good luck!
