Any recomendations
I am planning to enter a childrens competion for origami usa. It is a worldwide competition and I won last year, I plan to win again but cannot think of anything to design or make. Do you have any ideas for things that I can make to show of my skills?

I do not know how skilled the folders of the children's competitions are but a true test of folding skill seems to be deemed by models of the following:
Samurai Helmet Beetle
Hermit Crab
Fiddler Crab
I myself am a fan of grasshoppers and cicada (nymph and adult stage)
If you are looking for something easier, you could try various species of birds. Owls are usually a good approach because you can create a lot of character with the fold. I would suggest determining what your favorite models are and get inspiration from them.

It depends on what you mean by skill. I think something intermediate to complex folded well or a simple pureland model designed by yourself would be just as good as folding a work by Kamiya, etc. I'm not sure what they do when someone has folded the exact same model as someone else, and they do always like self-designs. The important thing is that the soul of the paper is expressed, not just how many times you can fold it. I believe the entry needs to be there by the 31st, so you don't have much time left.
