Welcome to the ugly lamp contest. We have been selling collectibles and antiques since 1980. A comment often heard at our booth is "What an ugly lamp".We personally find most of these ugly lamps wonderfully beautiful. We understand this is all a point of view. So the winning lamp could be truly ugly or wonderfully beautiful. You decide, please only vote once. The grand prize is a truly beautiful ugly trophy built and designed by me .

To enter the contest just Email (bill@findgreatstuff.com) a description of the lamp and attach a photo to the email message. The attached photo should be in the file format of .jpg (Joint Photographic Experts Group). The size should be no bigger than 72 dpi and not more than 8 inches. Or you could just use snail mail. Send a photo and description to Great Stuff, 277 Church Rd, Medford, NJ, 08055. Include a stamped self-addressed envelope if you want the photo returned.
