SPECIAL AWARD
This category is open to Specialist Award Decorators within their chosen fields and Master Craftsmen only. Articles submitted in this category which receive either an “A” or a “B” will be given an “A” or “B” special award.
REQUIREMENTS
No requirements are necessary except that the design must fit the article and be authentic. The design must fall under one of the classes in this Standards Manual, but need not include all of the requirements for that class. In this way, many exceptional designs may be submitted.
Note: It is hoped that Master Craftsmen will be encouraged to submit choice articles such as snuffer trays, bellows, fans, Chippendale boxes, etc. to enhance our exhibition.
Master Craftsmen who wish to exhibit work which does not fall into one of the categories in the Standards Manual may do so. These pieces will not be judged, and no awards will be given.
REPRODUCTION AWARD
An authentic reproduction of those articles listed under each category for Craftsmanship Award judging.
This award class is open to members, non-members, and commercial organizations.
REQUIREMENTS
1. An unaltered original of good design and of correct size and shape for the category must accompany the reproduction.
2. The design must meet the requirements of the category being reproduced both in size and shape.
3. The article must be reproduced exactly from the original. All sizes, shapes, turnings, molding, dovetail joints, etc., must be accurately reproduced. Folding of metal seams, hasps, etc., must be accurately copied.
4. Finish: all surfaces must be smooth, joints tight, soldered seams and wired edges must be smooth.
