JUDGING:
Prizes will be awarded based on the highest number of votes received from the

following points for consideration:
-
Creativity:
how imaginative is the subject matter?
-
Technical Skill:
How well made and neatly constructed is the piece?
-
Representation of the Theme:
how well does it represent what the artist
intended, based on the information they've supplied?
-
Original Work:
Although not every element needs to be handmade by you,
viewers will be asked to award special consideration to exhibits that feature
original work.
If the addition of Viewer's Choice awards has you wondering if your latest
miniature from a kit, room box of things you have collected, or first project
ever are still appropriate for the display
- YES, THEY ARE!
The goal of the
display is to celebrate this wonderful hobby in all its forms. If you love it,
there is no doubt that someone else will take something away from the
experience. Our goal in adding the Viewer's Choice awards is to encourage more
people to be part of the display, not fewer.
We hope you will share.
Remember, please submit your signed, completed
exhibit form
to
Kelly Hadden
by September 28th along with a high-resolution photo of your exhibit(s).
