Default AAW Forum Winter Turning Contest

12/4/05 Rules #6 updated with size restriction - 5" D x 1.5" H maximum.

Thanks to Steve for drafting these rules.

Contest:
This is the announcement of the 4th contest - focusing on Layered Bowls.
If you missed the last contests, do a search for "contest" in the forum
search.

Rules for this contest:
  1. Deadline is Sunday, January 8th (2006) midnight. (The contest was announced 11/25/05, so this gives ~6 weeks including 7 weekends to complete
    the submission).
  2. Each participant will create a layered bowl...in line with the feature
    story on page 14 from the Winter 2005 AW Journal issue
  3. Any and all turned layered bowls submissions will be considered
  4. The bowl must be created after 11/25/05 (corresponding to the AW Journal
    Winter 2005 issue)
  5. One submission per person
  6. Note size restrictions: 5" D x 1.5" H maximum
  7. Contest is open to all, including AAW members and non-members.

How to submit:
  1. Post your entry in the photo gallery and label it "AAW Forum contest
    entry" so people will recognize it.
  2. Also email Jeff when you submit the entry, and he will track the entries -
    email to jjilg@sbcglobal.net. He will respond with an acknowledgement, unless
    the spam filter rejects your email. If he doesn't send an acknowledgement, then
    send him a Private Message (PM) via the PM function in this forum. Also he
    will maintain a list of entries in the forum near the end of the contest.

Winner and Prize:

Winner selection:
Some super huge name in woodturning will be more than happy to be the judge,
as soon as we ask them!

The prize is:
1) The winner will be announced in the forum, and on the AAW homepage.
2) The winner will also be announced in the AW Journal.

The winning woodturner will be requested to write a short description about
the piece, their inspiration for it, and a short woodturner biography. This
write-up from the artist will be due within 1 week after the contest results
are announced. The write-up will be turned into a webpage. The webpage would
be announced and linked on the homepage similar to the last winner Brian
Rosencrantz as shown here

Please ask any questions if any of this is unclear or if there is a typo of
some type. Also please feel free to enter the contest - bowls are a great
skill builder, and can encompass many design and style elements, especially
this type. And did I mention they are always welcome holiday gifts?

...Jeff Jilg and Steve Worcester
...your friendly neighborhood moderators
