RULES & INFORMATION


All tables must present a pleasing appearance and be covered on top and draped to the floor on front and sides. This cover must be supplied by the exhibitor and suitable for the purpose. (Please, no wrinkled sheets!) Security will be provided. Having taken all possible precautions, the Brukner Nature Carvers will not be responsible for any loss or damage due to conditions beyond their control. You must be a registered exhibitor in the Brukner Woodcarving Show to enter competition. All entries in competition must have been completed within the last 2 years. Any entry that has won a 1st in Category or greater in a previous Brukner Woodcarving Show will not be eligible for competition. Ribbons won at other shows or competitions or previous Brukner Woodcarving Shows may not be displayed. Woodcarving judging entries will be accepted on Friday from 4:00 p.m. until 6:30p.m. and Saturday until 8:30 a.m. Carvings from machine-duplicated rough-outs or kits and those carvings made in a class can only be entered in Category J. Carvings in Category J are not eligible for Best of Show or Second Best of Show. Except for miniatures, there are no size restrictions for carvings in any category. Limited use of non-wood materials such as glass eyes and cast feet will be allowed. Unlimited entries may be entered at $5.00 for the first entry and $3.00 for each entry thereafter, but no more than two (2) entries may be entered in any one class. If a Category or Class has less than three (3) entries, ribbons only will be awarded; however, this will not prevent a piece in a Category from being considered for Best of Show.

DEFINITIONS
1. Relief - The art of raising modeled shapes from a surface to create the illusion of depth .The surface from which the relief was carved must be part of the total carving. Appliqus, masks, bark carvings and similar configurations will not be considered relief carvings. 2. In the round or Sculpture - Shaping a freestanding three-dimensional form. 3. Realistic - A carving detailed to the extent closely resembling a real subject. 4. Stylized - A creation of form usually without detail. Caricature - A carving, which distorts or exaggerates distinguishing features. Natural finish - Both the texture and grain of the wood must show through the finish. Staining and/or limited wood burning is permissible. Staining is defined as a single wood color applied to the entire piece. Painted finish - A finish, other than a one- color stain, that adds color to the piece and which may or may not obliterate the grain of the wood. 8. Group - In-the-round carving containing three (3) or more dominant subjects. 10. Abstract - A carving whose subject is not readily identifiable

CARVING CONTEST
There will be a special fun carving contest this year. Each contestant will receive a blank. Contestants must provide their own carving tools. You will have a total of 3 hrs. to complete your piece, 1-1/2 hours on Saturday and 1-1/2 hours on Sunday. You will all be carving at the same location in front of the public. After the time limit on Sunday, the pieces will be judged. This is meant to be a fun event, so after the 1st, 2 nd, & 3 rd place ribbons are awarded. The names of all those who participate will be put into a hat and the first three names drawn will each receive $25.00. All pieces will become the property of Brukner Nature Carvers and sold through the Brukner Nature Center. Plan to participate and help make this a big event.
