Steampunk: The Next Generation!
The Isaak Greenstone Creative Arts Exhibition for Students

**Due to our extremely generous merchants, we now have more incredible prizes than we do entries, so I’m extending the deadline until the day of the event.**

We at Brass Ring believe it’s incredibly important to show young people that just because you grow up doesn’t mean you have to stop dreaming and playing. To that end, we are inviting the creative people of the next generation to become part of our event. Of course, they are welcome just to come have fun, but we’d like to see what new ideas they can bring us, so we’re having a competition and exhibition.

 This first annual competition is named for a young attendee from our first event who has since been lost to accident, but who embodied the Brass Ring ideals of creativity, wonder, and helping where we can.
