Scrollsaw Contest

 Categories:

Fretwork : Cutting with many interior cuts that are straight or curves.

Intarsia : Projects made from different woods that are shaped to
Form the project. Segmentation can also be in this class.

Open: Open will include segmentation, non-pierced work, marquetry and inlay done with a scrollsaw.  A portion of the project may be built using other tools.  Carving  where a scrollsaw was used to cut the rough block, thus leaving no evidence of scrollwork.

Shadow Art:  This would be the portrait type pattern.  All of the portrait type cuttings belong in this class.  This class is new.  The pattern was probably developed from a picture using a photo editor type of program.

No distinction is made about the subject matter of the project.

 Classes:

 Within each category there will be three classes:

  • Basic
  • Intermediate
  • Complex

 The class your item will be entered in will be determined by the staff after all entries are received.  The division of the category into classes will be determined first by the complexity of the design and secondly by the total number of entries in the category. 

 The judges will select a first through fourth place within each class.  The first place class winners will compete against each similar class in all categories with the winner receiving the Best In Class award. The three Best In Class winners will then compete against each other for the Best In Show award.

Each attendee at the show will receive one ballot to vote for the Scroller’s Choice Award. 

Ribbons will be awarded for each winner and prizes will be given to
The  Best In Show and Scrollers Choice winners.
