Garden & Gun, a magazine with a circulation of 200,000, is soliciting entries for their “Made in the South” contest:
Searching for entrepreneurs whose products use local ingredients or the touch of their own hands to create something special in small batches, the pub wants to discover the product that the world doesn’t know exists – and to tell the story of the people behind it.
The five entry categories include Food (think pickled okra or artisanal cheese), Home (fabrics, furniture or lighting with a different point of view), Style (editors see a huge new movement in the world of fashion as it relates to Southern couture), Sporting (like bamboo fly rods or handmade boats), and Etc. (luthiers, letterpress stationary or birdhouses – it’s a deliberately vague category that scoops up what doesn’t fall into the others).
Five winning entries in each category will be published in the Dec/Jan issue of the magazine, and one overall winner will receive a trip to Charleston, SC, for a business consultation with Leapfrog Public Relations Co. and Stitch Graphic Design. Deadline is August 1. https://www.gardenandgunclub.com/madeinthesouth/Default.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1
