Contest Directions:  December 13 is Violin Day.
This date was selected so that there're exactly 12 days before Christmas, and there's no better time of year to promote violin must than the Christmas season. The most famous violin maker nowadays is Stefan-Peter Greiner who lives and works in Germany.
Apparently he makes the violins that top the creations of the Italian masters like Stradivari and Guarneri. Greiner violins are used by the best musicians in the word, and take over two years to craft. The specially selected wood for a violin is stored for 15 years before being carved into pieces. When the instrument is assembled, it is hung in the sun for over a year. The process is similar to that by Italian masters of 300 years ago. While Greiner's violins are made in small numbers and sold for about $33,000, the biggest world manufacturer of violins is China.
In belated celebration of Violin Day, photoshop violins any way you wish. E.g. change their size, shape, redesign them from other materials, or give them paint jobs, show the rejected violin creations of Stradivari if he had played with photoshop these days. These are just some ideas.
