I want to participate in this contest.
Reserve a spot for my submission.
From the rules of the carving and decoration contest, there is no rule that says newbies shouldn't participate in the contest, so you are free to participate in the contest when your art is ready. This isn't a signature campaign, and reserving a spot doesn't make sense because there's enough time for you to carve and decorate your fruit and summit it in this thread.
I think this is just the first contest of this kind on the board, hopefully the subsequent contest, he will make the rules very clear to Naija people. Make we just take dis one as e bi, nothing spoil, na our own bi dis. OP don try, e no easy.
