THIS IS A DRAFT OF CONTEST RULES SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND/OR CLARIFICATION

*************

I took a little liberty obviously and renamed the contest to something that I thought was a little more fun. I could frankly use LOTS of help with this one though and I know it. I would just like to have it be a fun competition that brings out creativity in a wide range of skill levels thus pushing everyone. I would like to believe this theme might do it but, you know, I'm naive. :tongue:

Looks good to me Marcia.

Hi Marcia,

For item #1, would you want it to state "at least 2/3rds . . . "?

 

[mredburn]

Renaming the contest is not a problem. We do it all the time.

Hi Marcia,

For item #1, would you want it to state "at least 2/3rds . . . "?

Yes thank you, that was my intention.

Is this open to any type of pen?

Also. Just for the Ed Streets of the forum: On rule #2 I would consider rewording the part about no CNC produced parts since most kit parts are made on a CNC (Lazerlinez made in the USA kits for example are entirely made on a CNC). It'll save you the headache of trying to explain it once the rules have been posted.

I would like it to be open to any pen type yes to hopefully generate as much diversity as possible.

I see your point about the CNC... Do you think 2. No laser work or CNC produced pens are allowed. is clear enough?

'your blanks cannot involve the use of a CNC or laser'

 

[Lady_Acoma]

Ah, thank you. That feels much better.

 

[mredburn]

We can use Andrews wording or "you may not use cnc or laser to make the pen"

EIther way can work.

 

[Lady_Acoma]

I like the way Andrew worded it personally.

 

[mredburn]

Changed, let me know if thats ok of if you have specific wording you want to use.

 

[Lady_Acoma]

That seems appreciate to me thank you. :good:
