2010 Show Schedule

Eligibility

• Only members can enter shows. 
• Previous winners are not eligible to win again for the remaining calendar year, however, they may participate in the remaining shows and we will display their work on the slideshow. 
• Sponsors and others who may be ineligible for prizes may also participate in the show.  
• Entries must be NEW, UNSOLD work.  Your art may be listed and sell concurrent to the show but may not be previously sold. 
• Entries must be entirely the work of the artist.  The only exception is that you can use purchased eyes.  Otherwise, the complete sculpt including costuming, wings, crowns, etc must be the original work of the artist.  No molds may be used.  No exceptions.  
• Entries must meet the requirements of the theme of the Show within the current month. Your entry will not be accepted for the show, if it is not considered to represent the current month's theme.  Entries for future shows listed in the Show Schedule will not be accepted before the first of the month of that Show's theme.

How to Enter

• Fill out the Enter the Show form and submit 4 pictures of your work.  One close up of the face, one frontal and then one from each side.  We will put the frontal picture on the slideshow on the show page.  Please do not add your name or text to the photo, it will be added below your pic.  Please crop your pictures so that as much of the extra background is eliminated.  Make sure your pictures are focused and have good lighting.  That is one of the areas judges will consider.          
• There is no fee to enter.

Deadlines

     Deadline for the shows is midnight (EST) on the last day of the month.  Your entry will be time-stamped.

Judging

    There is a 7 member jury that will judge the entries.  The panel judges are: Deb Wood, Debbie McCain, Rocky Anderson, Kim Fillio, Phyllis Morrow, Rose Lacefield and Loretta Polaski.  The judges consider all parts of the doll and specifically look at the face, head, wigging, headdress, hands, feet or footwear, the overall proportion of the body, costuming, wings and fins, natural pose and fluidity, photography, creativity and interpretation of the theme.  

Winners

• Winners will be announced by the 7th of the following month. 
• Winner will receive the gift pack featured on the Show Page.  Prize packages will vary each month.
