SMC Art Challenge 2010 - Rules & Entries

[Steve Schlumpf]

Art Challenge 2010, the brainchild of Roland Martin, is the direct result of discussions over the differences between 'Art' and 'Utilitarian' turnings. Art Challenge 2010 is intended to be a fun and entertaining way for all turners on SMC to challenge themselves to create two separate turnings; one considered art and one utilitarian. This is NOT a competition of any kind, just a way for each of us to challenge ourselves to design, turn and then share our ideas of utility & art.


The Rules:

Starting no sooner than May 1, 2010, turn one piece that you consider art and one piece you consider utilitarian. Both of these turnings are intended to be turned for this particular challenge, so, in the spirit of fairness for all, let’s please adhere to the honor system.

Participants may post their entry anytime between June 1 & July 31, 2010, after which the Challenge will be closed. Make sure your entry post consists of BOTH of your turnings! Please - do not post your entry before June 1st!

Each participant's thread will need to be entitled (SMC Art Challenge 2010 – “name”) Example: (SMC Art Challenge 2010 – Roland Martin) which will allow for an easier search.

Make sure your thread has all the pertinent information, such as type of wood, dimensions, finish, etc. and a brief explanation for each piece on why you consider it Art or Utilitarian.

SMC limits the number of photos to no more than 5 per post. If you have additional photos - post a reply to your first post and attach your additional photos to it. If you have questions on how to do that - ask me - BEFORE - you create your entry thread please!

Some members use online photo storage and then link those photos to their post. For this contest, please upload your photos to SMC. In doing that, we can use the thumbnails with your link and your photos remain part of the history of this event!

So we can all track the entries, on June 1st, I will establish a locked sticky accessible only by moderators. Once you post your entry thread, contact me (or any Turning Forum moderator) and we will make a post in the "master" thread with one thumbnail of each entry and a link to your individual thread so folks can comment.

Also, while this is NOT a competition, SMC provides you the opportunity to rate any thread with the built-in star rating system - located top right of each thread. Be real about it and it will have value.

Members may continue to comment & critique until September 30, 2010, at which time, we will retire the sticky and/or archive it.
