Donating a creation

Here's everything you need to know to donate a creation to Creations for Charity. The deadline this year is December 1st, 2010.

Contributions are open to anyone over age 13. If you are under 18, please make sure you have a parent’s approval. If you want to donate a creation, please contact me via Flickr or by email (mr.bley@gmail.com) with the following details:

1. A clear picture of the creation
2. Gallery url if available
3. Name of the creation and optional short description of the model
4. Builder’s name (include at least the first name and last name initial)
5. Your country
6. Approximate selling value (optional)

You should consider the ease of shipping the model without it getting damaged beyond repair. Your target buyers will be people who have had some experience with building, so they should be able to put basic components together. Holiday-themed and pop-culture creations are especially popular.

Come up with a price for a creation based on size and complexity. If your price seems too low or high, I will recommend adjustments.

Most models will ship if packaged well. Use Ziploc bags so contents won't get lost in case of damage. Stuff all other empty space with a filler material such as newspaper or packing bubbles. When you shake the final package, you shouldn't hear any noise from things rattling inside.

Please reply to this discussion or email me if you have any questions.
