Hey, mini community: got any leftover champagne corks and cages from New Years? 

Well...now is your chance to create an original mini chair using only glue and those materials for the annual Design Within Reach Champagne Chair Contest!

The contest started in 2002, and there's been some awesome eye candy over the years. Here's some past entries:

Amazing, right?

Are you entering? I am going to try my best, although I have no corks or cages!! Wish me luck in finding some!

All the contest details are here. The grand prize is a $1,000 gift certificate to Design Within Reach, and the second and third place winners will receive $500 and $250 gift certificates to DWR, respectively. Check out all the current entries on Twitter using #dwrchampagnechair.

You have until 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on January 14, so get cracking (or popping?)!


GOOD LUCK AND SPREAD THE WORD!
