Each entry should consist of one finished, unpainted part, photos of the participant, machine shop or CNC machine, and information on the story behind the part. Entries are due May 15, 2013.
All contest participants will receive a Mastercam IOF shirt. The reward for the winning entry also includes $1,000 for educational expenses, a seat of Mastercam Mill Level 1 software and recognition plaques for the student and his or her school or parent.
