Want to hang out with Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman? Of course you do. But if you also have some serious crafting cred, you can hang with them and possibly win a big wooden check for $100,000 while you’re at it. Yes, NBC is officially casting “Making It” season 2, and here’s how you can apply.

“Do you thrive on creating? Armed with a hot glue gun or a hammer, can you make just about anything?” the casting website reads. “Whether you are a late-night garage tinkerer, an Etsy-preneur, or everyone’s favorite crafting grandma, we want you to apply!”

The application asks for your basic info, social media handles, and questions about your crafting, like who inspires you, what are your greatest achievements, and what special tools you use. You’ll also have to upload photos of yourself and your projects, and include a two-minute video talking about your work.

After all that, you could be one of a handful to head to the barn for the competition’s second season, which is set to film for five weeks in California between February and September 2019.

Season one had everyone from felt artists to paper crafters to wood workers, but if you don’t fit one of those labels, don’t let that keep you from applying. “You could be a household hacker, a DIY decorator, a scrapbooker, wood worker, hand builder, accessory maker, doll maker, textile maker, shibori expert, potter, paper crafter, leather or denim worker, costume maker, basket weaver, an artisan or maker of any type… basically any super creative person who loves making things by hand,” the website reads.

Anyone over the age of 18 as of February 2019 can apply.
