Snapmaker's Light Up The Love

Video Contest

Valentine's Day puts a spotlight on the special relationships we have in our lives.

Traditionally, this means candy, gifts, candlelit dinners, and other outpourings of affection for your significant other.

But love is more than that.

It's the sparks that fly for new romance, and the torch we carry for our spouses, but it also extends to the warm glow we feel for our children, our pets, our friends, and how Snapmaker feels about our user community.

That's why this Valentine's Day season Snapmaker is running our Light Up The Love Video Contest!


Use Your Snapmaker To:

Build a beautiful lamp, a light up diorama, or a light toy for someone you love - anything that plays with the themes of Light and/or Love, and make a video.


Your creation can be a unique design you made yourself, or something simple that you downloaded off the internet. 3D Printing, Laser Cutting/Engraving, and CNC Carving are all fantastic!


How to Join:

  • Upload your video to YouTube Shorts! (Make sure it's in Vertical Format and under 60s)
  • Make sure to tag #SnapmakerLightUp
  • Upload your submission to the Gleam plug-in below.


How to Win:

Judges will grade each project on 3 criteria:

  • The Project: How cool is the creation?
  • The Video: How entertaining is this video?
  • The Love: Can you feel the love tonight?

Scores will be averaged for each submission, with the top 5 scoring videos winning. At least 3 victory slots will be reserved for new Test Pilots.


What You Win:

The top five contestants each win:

  • $333 Cash Prize!
  • Join the Snapmaker Test Pilot Program - Helmet Included!


The contest will run from February 1st to February 28th.
