Ok, so we decided on how to handle who gets to be the first name on our trophy. The most impressive carving on the lot. It could be the “All Ages Freestyle” winner, it could be the winner of “Sea Screecher” or an amazing entry for “Let there Be light ” that just didn’t make sense for the category name and did not even place first or second. We are going to give the judges a little criteria to follow on this one too.
– It should look good in daylight and more importantly at night.
– Carving quality should be considered ( it is a carving contest after all )
– Scale should not be the most important consideration, although if everything else is covered, scale could make the difference.
– Possibly most of all, a clever & creative concept should be rewarded whether it fits a category or not.
Good Luck!
