Monday Afternoon Inspiration: 2008: A Puppet Odyessy

Public voting has begun in the 2008 Project Puppet puppet building contest.

Voting has begun in this year’s Project Puppet puppet building contest. The theme this year is “2008: A Space Odyessy”. An international panel of puppet builders – Terry Angus, Jarrod Boutcher, Ed Christie, Phil Fletcher and James Wojtal – have taken twenty eight entries from around the world and selected ten sci-fi inspired semi-finalists for public voting.

You can check out all of the semi-finalists and vote for your favourite here (I’m personally torn between Brenda Davis’ Preegar and Kanja Chen’s Gimbul, but they’re all great work). Many of the entries that weren’t selected are being shared over at Puppeteers Unite (scroll down the recent entries to find them).

Voting in the contest is open until Sunday, December 7, 2008. The winners will be announced on (presumably on ProjectPuppet.com) the following day.
