CONTESTS
Ready for the challenge!
Welcome to this section that offers a way to be aware of the contests that are running out there right now, and can make you win some goodies, exposure, recognition or the perfect excuse to start a project that has a specific due date making a great opportunity to add a new piece to a portfolio that looks suspiciously at those unfinished works that ended at the bottom of the hard disk without much hope of seeing the light.
 We hope you find this section useful and we would be very pleased to know from you if we drop any from our radar. You can post it at the bottom of this page or let us know via email at handytales@gmail.com. Â
The below posts will also include the winner’s entries once published.Â
