Enter the Larkin Tea Company’s competition for the best-handcrafted tea cozy. In previous competitions, there have been entries from all over the United States and people from across the world placed a vote.
In 2023 the winner will receive a prize worth over $400 in specialty loose leaf tea, tea accessories, and gift items. In addition the winner will get a subscription to Tea Time Magazine and a gift certificate from ModernDailyKnitting.com
How to Enter the Contest
Designs do not have to be original, but the contestant must have handcrafted the knitted, crocheted, or felted tea cozy. (Only cozies created with yarn will be accepted.)
"In the past, we have been sent photos for our contest that featured a fun array of patterns of tea cozies — from the traditional to the whimsical. We’ve seen tea cozies that have looked like a vase of flowers, one that looked like a bunny, some have pom-poms, some don’t. Find a pattern that makes you smile and create it."
One Entry per Person.
To enter, contestants must email a color, in-focus, clear photograph to judy@larkintea.com, or mail to The Larkin Tea Co., 545 Warm Springs Avenue, Martinsburg, WV 25404. Photos will not be returned and become the property of The Larkin Tea Co, LLC
*Suggestion: Take the photo with the cozy against a plain background so that the design and workmanship show up better
All submissions must include name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, and descriptive name of cozy.
Photos will be posted online at The Larkin Tea Co’s website at www.larkintea.com. Visitors to the site will vote for their favorite. The tea cozy that receives the most votes wins.
