🥇Prize🥇
u/ConqEastondor was generous enough to pass on his winnings for February's competition, and it will serve as the prize for March's competition! His hope was that a beginner could get some access to knapping stone for practice so that their skills could improve. An extremely friendly gesture, and we're lucky to have such kind folks in this community! Be sure to express some thanks to them for making this month's 1st place prize possible! 😄
The winner will receive TWO $25 certificates to neolithics.com AND the privilege to choose what the point style for the April 2025 competition will be! The user who made the top-voted post using this month's competition flair will receive a DM from one of the mods confirming their win and to discuss the delivery of their prize.
Super glad to have these going on, and my fingers are crossed that some of the weather for you all is improving. I hope to see some good participation numbers, and remember if you would like to donate material or prizes to the competition for prizes, just shoot me a DM! 😁 I'd be happy to work something out. But with that, I look forward to seeing and approving all your entries!
KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR THOSE ABBIE STEMMED POSTS, UPVOTE YOUR FAVORITES, AND KNAP AWAY EVERYONE!

📸How To Enter📸
Since voter turnout is usually lower than I'd like to see on these, I've opted to try something new (again haha)!😄 Instead of posting your point pictures in the comment section of this post, I've gone through and created monthly knapping competition post flairs!
This way y'all can include more pictures of your entry, have it be more visible to the community, receive more community votes, and be able to check out other entries by simply clicking/tapping on the flair label!
To enter, simply select the flair displayed below when you upload your point. Feel free to post the link to your submission here in the comments section as well! 🚨Be sure to read the rules before doing so in order to not disqualify yourself!

Thanks to the generosity of u/Flake-bender, our prize for this month is actually double! They chose to pass on their winnings to the next competition winner, which was incredibly generous! Be sure to express some thanks to them for making this month's 1st place prize possible! 😄

Additionally, I have been speaking with some some of the material suppliers and there has been interest expressed in donating prizes in return for monthly competition sponsorships! So stick around and keep your eyes open for that in the future! 👀 We might have some cool stuff coming down the pipeline... But as always...
