Show off your creations and win fabulous prizes valued at over R30000.

This is our year for celebrating creativity! Ideas (previously known as Woman's Value) will be 30 years old in September and we are looking for 30 creative readers' makes - one for every year of our existence - to publish in our birthday issue.

Whether you bead, bake, cook, crochet, sew or stencil, we want to see the best of your creations. Not only will the 30 winners have their work styled and photographed in true magazine fashion for all to see, they will also each receive a fabulous prize hamper valued at over R2 000.

And, as an added incentive to inspire you to greater creativity, there is a wonderful prize worth over R30 000 for the overall winner of our 'best creative idea' award. She or he can look forward to a four-night stay for two at Premier Hotel Knysna - The Moorings, as well as luxury Samsonite Cosmolite luggage, flights and car rental.

Entries close on 14 June 2010, to give us time to prepare the selected projects for our birthday issue. The name of the overall winner will be announced in the September issue.

To enter, send a set of clear, step-by-step pictures of you creating your masterpiece, a close-up photograph of the end product, an approximate cost, clear instructions and how long it took.
