William,
Here is what I compiled based on this thread PLUS a few I thought of. Please review and share your thoughts. Of course the wording and organization needs to be polished. :redface:
==========================================
1. This is a "Club Collaboration Contest" (3C) and as such, only IAP clubs can join/compete. Other members are encouraged to form their new local IAP chapters so they can participate.
2. What makes an entry "collaborative"? This is by honor system. Since some clubs/chapters are small...a minimum of 2 physically involved in the creation of the entry will be required. However, it is strongly encouraged to get as many club member to participate as much as possible. Participation doesn't have to be physical, it could be sharing of idea, etc.
For example, a new/innovative casted blank can be one member's contribution to the collaboration.
3. Entry could be any writing instrument. Any kit can be used or it can be kit-less. It can be a pen, a boxed pen, or a desk set. Use your imagination, use anything but limit use of pre-fabricated components to the kit if possible.
4. Judging will be by un-retouched (cropped okay) photos sent to William (minimum of 4). Photos must show the entirety (all sides) of the pen clearly.
Photos must be big enough to show the pen...preferably bigger than actual size.
Photo quality & presentation will earn some points too.
Please avoid putting any identifying logo, name, etc. on the entry. This will help maintain fairness during the judging.
5. Entry submission deadline is 12:00 midnight Eastern time Monday, February. 23 via email to William.
6. Winners will be announced on Thursday, Feb. 26.
===========================================
Question,
Can we leave this open for revision (until the end of Jan) in case we get good input from fellow members after posting?
Just let them have enough to start then we can polish this a bit later.
This is not final by any means (esp the things I added) and definitely not yet complete so please keep the ideas coming.
Thanks.
