Metal My Way Contest Expands to Year-Round Submissions
Metal Supermarkets, a leader in supplying small-quantity metals, has exciting news! The 11th Annual Metal My Way Contest has undergone a transformation. Now rebranded as Metal My Way: Everyday, this year's contest has extended its timeframe to an entire year.
Open Competition for Metal Enthusiasts
This newly reformatted contest allows metalworkers and enthusiasts to showcase their skills by submitting photos and videos of their metallic projects throughout the year. This innovation means that participants now have the opportunity to submit their entries on a rolling basis, encouraging creativity and innovation from all corners of the metalworking community.
This Year’s Exciting Changes
Previously, the Metal My Way competition ran for just one month. However, following years of overwhelmingly positive reception and over 1,000 submissions in past competitions, Metal Supermarkets decided to give participants more time to shine. Now, whether you’re a seasoned professional or a hobbyist, you can enter your magnificent metal creations from anywhere in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom.
A Closer Look at Previous Entries
Previous competitions have showcased a diverse range of fantastic projects. Participants have crafted everything from intricately designed engine models to stunning art pieces like a polished stainless steel eagle. Each submission reflects not only the skill involved but also the unique vision of the creators.
Ryan Pryznyk, President and CEO of Metal Supermarkets, expressed enthusiasm about the extended timeframe, stating, "We're thrilled to extend this year's Metal My Way competition for a full year, offering talented metalworkers – professionals and hobbyists alike – more chances to win incredible prizes. Each year's submissions never fail to amaze us with their creativity and craftsmanship!"
Contest Details and Prizes
The contest kicks off on a designated date in the fall and will continue until the following year. Participants can conveniently submit their projects at metalmyway.com. After the year concludes, a standout project will be honored with an all-expenses-paid trip for two to FABTECH 2026 in Las Vegas. This extraordinary prize includes flights and accommodations for a four-day adventure, as well as additional rewards for noteworthy entries throughout the competition.
Criteria and Eligibility for Participation
Interested participants can submit entries online starting from the official contest launch date. It's important to note that while contestants can enter multiple projects, they are only eligible to win one prize per submission cycle, which occurs every six months. The judging committee will evaluate submissions based on several criteria including complexity, creativity, and the overall craftsmanship displayed in each project.
Tips for Engagement
Metalworking enthusiasts are encouraged to get involved by sharing their unique creations. Whether you’re crafting furniture, art, or other metal pieces, showcasing your work in this competition not only grants recognition but also a platform to inspire others in the craft.
