To everyone who submitted entries to the Modified Guitar Contest,
To all those considering applying,

We regret to announce that the 2020 Instrument Fair has been canceled to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus. While this is deeply disappointing for our contest, which had been working toward exhibiting at the fair, we sincerely appreciate the Instrument Fair Association's difficult decision, made with the utmost priority given to everyone's safety and health.

Regarding this modified guitar contest, we have decided to proceed despite the current circumstances, in response to the enthusiasm shown by those who have already submitted entries. Therefore, the submission deadline has been extended to September 30th. If you've been wondering, "Can I still make it in time?", please take this opportunity to submit your entry.

Let's all stay safe and enjoy customizing our guitars while staying home. We want to make this a safe and fun contest, filled with gratitude to all the companies sponsoring and supporting us. Details will be announced as soon as they are finalized. Stay tuned!
