Handbag design contest for a whole new sewing studio

Handbag Designer 101 and InStyle invite you to compete in the Fifth Annual Independent Handbag Designer Awards, the only handbag competition of its kind in the world. This is your opportunity to submit your handbag and compete for one of nine awards in handbag excellence, international recognition and a variety of coveted prizes at the awards ceremony held at the Time & Life Building.

There are a number of prizes based on several categories, including my favorite, "most socially responsible handbag."  You can win a new sewing studio, including both a sewing machine and a serger.  See complete details here.
