DIVISIONS:

There shall be five divisions that contestants can enter, with a divisional winner recognized from each division. This will allow more of the populace to be awarded for their A&S efforts with five "winners" instead of just one. Additionally, an overall winner will be chosen from among the give Divisional winners.

Costuming/Fiber Arts
Leather/Wood work
Metalwork/Armor
Paper Arts – Calligraphy and Illumination, book binding, paper making, etc.
Miscellanea – will include food/drink entries this year as well as entries that do not fit into other categories.

Entries in these divisions must have been completed in the past 18 months.

Documentation may be simple, just what the item is, time period, materials used to construct. Of course, more complex documentation will earn extra consideration!

This contest will be judged by a panel of volunteer judges using basic judging criteria, looking at:

Documentation
Authenticity
Creativity
Difficult of project
Judge's impression

In addition, we will also conduct a populace bean count to help in breaking ties!

Each area of judging may receive from 0 to 5 points, with half points being allowed. In the event of a tie score, the populace bean count shall sway the decision.

If we can get the info on the web site as soon as possible, folks should have time to prepare. Hopefully, we can kick start A&S in the area again!

Anne
