The Sixth Annual URSA Awards Competition challenges you to be creative, to think out of the box and to show our readers/voters that you can create a unique bear using the same pattern as other competing artists.

What fun this will be!

Print the pattern and get started! Pattern page 1  Pattern page 2

In "It's All The Same" category you can not change or modify the pattern pieces. You can make the bear the same size, enlarge or reduce the pattern.

Make the bear out of any materials. Real fur, mohair, plush, upholstery fabric, leather, or any materials found in your studio!

The entry may only have a bow or necklace around its neck.

No costuming or outfits.
