• 2: Can see moderate imperfections (solder control, continuity of lines) at arm's length, with little finish work.
• 3: Moderate finish work and some imperfections visible.
• 4: Good use of materials and good finish work with minor imperfections.
• 5: Good use of materials with good finish work. Durable piece with no or very minor imperfections.

• 1: Project is NOT logical to context of period.
• 2: Kit used with little or no modification.
• 3: A standardized project, with added personal variations to ornamentation only.
• 4: Modified both pattern and ornamentation.
• 5: Mostly original application of period or Known World design, OR is an exact reproduction of a period item.
• 6: Work is original application of period or Known World designs and methods.

Evaluate the work as a whole. NOTE: This category is subjective; however, the judge should take into account prior category scores, aesthetic appeal, presentation, intuitive response, and other such items not previously addressed.

DOCUMENTATION (0-4 points)Must have at least 1 page, 2-3 pages preferable. More is acceptable. Give one point for each of the following that is present:

• 2: Logical combination of a few copied elements.
• 3: Evidence of original work logical to period context.
• 4: Creative interpolation in combination of elements; much logical innovation.
