Welcome to Summer Extravaganza, Youth Pen Contest for young turners 14 – 16 years old.
This contest is to let our young members and turners compete in a pen making competition within their own age group. This contest is for Ages 14 to 16.
Your age group is determined by your age on the start of the Summer Extravaganza, August 1, 2014.
Pens constructed from any commercially available* component set are allowed.
No laser work or cnc produced pens or parts are allowed.
Center bands and/or finials may be modified or eliminated. No other modifications to the commercial component set are allowed.
The entrants of this contest must be registered members of the IAP (membership is open to individuals 13 years old and over). The entrants to this contest may enlist the help of a parent or mentor to explain techniques and processes when necessary. Any demonstrations of techniques or procedures by the parent or mentor are to be performed on a separate blank. ALL WORK ON THE PEN TO BE ENTERED IS TO BE DONE BY THE ENTRANT. None of the work on the actual pen to be entered is to be performed by anyone other than the entrant.
Entries will be emailed to the contest chair at Mike@OhioPenworks.com and will include the following:
Complete name and mailing address of the youth entering the contest.
A paragraph or two describing the material used to create the pen, the turning experience of the youth, any problems encountered during the creation of the pen and the solutions that overcame them.
Up to three photos of the pen. If any photos of the entered pen are found to have been posted anywhere prior to August 1, 2014 the entry will be disqualified.
All pictures will be posted at the same time to have equal time in the spot light.
The contest will start on August 1, 2014 and entries will be due no later than August 18, 2014 at 11:59pm EST. Pictures will be posted and there will be two polls to determine 1st place. The first poll will determine the finalists by vote of the membership. Members will be asked to vote for up to, but for no more than, three entries. The 2nd poll will contain the photos of the five pens receiving the most voted in the first poll. In the event of a tie for 1st thru 5th place, that result in more than five photos receiving the five highest total number of votes, all photos within that group will be posted in the 2nd poll. Members will vote for one pen in the second poll.
Rules are subject to change for clarification or safety. In the event of a dispute over the rules the Contest Chair, the Activities Manager or Administrator will make the final determination as to the intent of the rule.
