Just a friendly reminder that our Shoe Shine Saturday Photo Contest sponsored by KIWI Shoe Care is tomorrow. Up for grabs is the Ultimate Shoe Shine Kit from KIWI and a handsome, handmade in America cedar shoe shine box. I just got the box in the mail yesterday. I have to say, I’m jealous of the man who wins this thing. I’m gonna have to put it on my Christmas list.



And you can fill this awesome box with a myriad of KIWI products:
Here’s how you can get your hands on this awesome setup:
To enter, take a picture of your shoes after you shine them. Show us just how shiny and smooth you can get them! Before and after pictures are encouraged. To submit a photo:
Step 1. Join the Art of Manliness Community.
Step 2. Take a picture of your best shined shoes after shining them on Shoe Shine Saturday.
Step 3. Upload the photo to the Art of Manliness Community photo page.
Deadline to enter is Monday, October 4, 2010 by 7PM EST.
Entries will be judged on the quality of the shoe shine and the creativity and quality of the picture. Brownie points can be earned if your picture includes KIWI products. (Hey, they’re sponsoring the contest!)

@Paul …what?
After my time in the military reserve I can shine a boot or a shoe like no ones business. Me and my buddies actually came up with a cheat that takes litterally 3 minutes and looks professionally done.
very nice photos. My vote is for the cowboy boots on the round bale
Man I hope I did everything right when I uploaded my pics. I actually did two pairs of boots, I guess not very inspired picture taking but the work I put into my boots outweighs that I hope :)
Maybe a silly question, but i’ve never seen a shine box before… the top of the box… is that to rest the shoe against?
No, this isn’t me, but gotta love the attention to detail here:

Hi – How do we know if we have entered – I put the photos on the community page but they dont appear in the Shoe Shine slideshow – not that I am competitive – but was pining after that cedar box. Great competition me and the boy loved it!
So… has a winner been chosen yet? I’ve been checking back every other day since last weekend! I can’t wait know who won!
Sad…I got all excited to enter, took a picture of my shoes….and then realized that I’m a week late. Maybe I need to spend more time looking at a calendar than shining my shoes.
The top five have been selected by us and now it’s up to the folks at Kiwi to pick a winner. I would imagine they’d have their pick in about a week. Hopefully less!
We’ll try to be patient. Thanks for the update, Brett!
Two thoughts; first an article on the manly art of buying shoes is evidently in order–I know Clydesdales who wouldn’t be caught dead in most of those shoes (“he said you must be joking son, where did you get those shoes?) “Hint: if it can’t be resoled, it ain’t really a shoe. And second, how about some timely tips on the manly art of photography? The first paragraph should endeavor make one point crystal clear: your phone is NOT a camera! You might direct your readers to study the works of the late Helmet Newton. It won’t make them better photographers, but they will thank you none the less.
