"Paragon Industries is holding a video contest for potters, ceramists, glass artists, and jewelers. The contest ends midnight, August 31, 2010, central time.

Paragon is giving away three kilns as prizes. Winners will be chosen from three categories. The categories and the kilns awarded as first prizes:

1) Best pottery / ceramics video: Caldera XL

2) Best warm glass video: Fusion-16

3) Best jewelry, glass beads, metal clay, enameling, or lampworking video: BlueBird XL or SC-2 (The winner may choose between those two models.)

Second-place winners in each category will receive a $250 gift certificate toward the purchase of a Paragon kiln. Third-place winners in each category will receive a $100 gift certificate toward the purchase of a kiln.

The video contest is open to anyone (except Paragon distributors and dealers) who owns a Paragon kiln, fires a friend’s Paragon, or attends classes that use Paragon kilns. Any fired work shown in the videos must be made in a Paragon kiln. No kiln purchase is necessary to win. Individuals may submit up to two videos. There is no cost to enter. Submissions will be judged on level of interest and drama.

Winning videos and finalists will receive online exposure at www.paragonweb.com, YouTube - Broadcast Yourself., and other video websites. "

Interesting, but... You have to use a Paragon kiln to be able to win a Paragon kiln?

**MuranoSilver** · 20-07-2010, 01:08 PM

Or have access to one

I wouldn't mind a second kiln and I suppose there's always the option of selling it

True. Do you think they'd notice if I slapped a Paragon logo on my Evenheat?

You need a kiln to win a kiln!!! ahh,My sister does pottery,I'll see if she has got access to one.

I like 'trying' to make jewellery video's so I'll be interested in the results anyhow.

I've known about this competition for a while, an American friend told me about it. I have a Paragon kiln and was going to enter but haven't gotten round to it yet and i don't have a lot of time.
Also they can do what they like with your movie if you enter

Well I got round to making the movie for Paragon, and cleared up my concerns about what they could do with it.

Guess what, this morning opened up my e-mail to find one from Paragon and I won second place in the jewellery section. I'm amazed as I never win anything.
I hope the voucher lasts a while as I don't have the cash just now to add to it and buy another kiln.
I'm made up to have won something!!!
