Welcome to Middle-earth's First Annual Invention Convention!

Elves, dwarves, hobbits, men, or any other creatures from Middle-earth, here is the chance to create an invention of your own and display to the public!

Here are the rules:

1. The characters must be from Tolkien's work and not from your own.
2. Stay in character. Pick a character and keep with it. Each character may only be used once.
3. Try to be creative. Make up an invention that you think a particular character of Tolkien would create and find useful. Please do not use any modern technology.
4. Be competitive. Let your character brag and show off their invention.
5. Have fun! The point of this is to find out who will become Middle-earth's version of Thomas Edison.

After a time, I will call it time for voting on who has the most creative invention.
