Welcome! We're so excited that you're joining us in this huge celebration of independent artisan dyeing!
Filling out this form represents your consent to the contest rules of Clapotisfest 2024. By entering this contest, you affirm that you have knit the Clapotis featured in your photographic entry since September 17, 2024.
(Reminder: Clapotis is pronounced clap-o-tee )
RULES:
- To be eligible to win, knit a Clapotis by hand in the yarn of your choice and submit ONE (1) stellar photo using the form below. We encourage you to use indie-dyed yarn, but will accept any yarn of any description for your contest entry.
- You may enter as many Clapotises as you are able to knit by hand by the deadline. Only one (1) entry per Clapotis will be accepted. (ie you may not send in multiple entries of the same Clapotis.) In the event that multiple entries are submitted of the same Clapotis, only the first entry will count and the rest will be deleted.
- Your photo and entry form must be received by December 1, 2024, at midnight, EST. Entries received after this date will not be eligible to win.
- Entries may come from anywhere on the planet. Even Québec.
- All entries received by the deadline will be assembled into a flipbook like the Clapotisfest book, which will share the knitter's first name, general location (ie State/Province and Country), yarn and quantity used. This flipbook will go live in the Winter '24 Knitty Surprise, along with the Surprise patterns, in mid-January 2025.
- 50 photo entries that receive the most votes are considered winners. The respective knitters of each winning Clapotis will receive their choice from the prize pool, with the Clapotis that received the most votes having first choice. We will then work our way down the winners list until all the prizes have been claimed. The knitting of the Clapotis is the equivalent of a skill-testing question, so no math will be required.
- We will post the list of winners and which yarn they chose as their prize in our Spring+Summer 2025 issue, which goes live in March 2025.
- You may share your Clapotis contest entry(ies) in progress or complete on social media as much as you like! We'd appreciate it if you'd use the #clapotisfest hashtag, and link to this page if you can. Thank you for helping get the word out!

Thank you for joining us in Clapotisfest, and good luck!
