Some of you may be familiar with the Wine Bottle Stopper design contest we’re having at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopper/ . The intent is to have a differently themed contest each quarter, sponsored by several woodturning supply retailers and the new Woodturning Design magazine. The stopper contest ends on June 30, so it’s time to start thinking about the organization and theme of our second contest in the series. There are several ways to get this going, and I’d like to get your thoughts on the subject, so post your comments here.
The theme: Pen turning design and craftsmanship.
Place: Penturners.org (The IAP website), or...a Yahoo website that I’d set up specifically for Woodturning Contests.
Rules: Along the same line as those posted for the stopper contest.
Timing: October 31 2004 deadline for photo submissions.
Prizes: Gift certificates from TBD turning supply retailers, and the winner’s work featured in a 2005 issue of Woodturning Design magazine.
Winners: 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners selected by a group of three or four acknowledged Master Turners, based on TBD subjective criteria.
Best regards,
Ed D.
