How to Participate

All voting happens online, at the Saltstone Ceramics Instagram account. New matches are posted daily, all March long, at 9am (Pacific). Click on the links in the Instagram post to view more pictures of each mugs.

Voting happens through our Instagram stories: in the app, tap the circle next to our account name. You can pick your favorite by tapping "TOP" or "BOTTOM" in the poll. The winner of the Instagram poll earns one point.

The other two points come from our judges, Didem Mert and Brandon Peña. They each assign one point to whichever mug they think is most deserving. Whichever mug wins 2 (or all 3) points moves on to the next round of #mugmadness22.

Take a look at the yellow circles for completed matches to see the results. Letters indicate how the judges' points were assigned, and percentages show how the IG poll turned out.
