DOCUMENTATION (0-4 points) Must have at least a 3X5 card. More is acceptable. Give one point for each of the following that is present:

• Identification/Description of the entry.
• Approximate date and place/nationality in history that the entry is modeled upon.
• Includes materials/tools list OR states method used to complete entry.
• Cites at least one reference, either illustrative (pictures) or descriptive relating to either A) period use of such item OR B) period method of constructing such item OR C) both A & B.

• Entry is appropriate to time/place stated in documentation.
• Materials used are period OR give period effect.
• Methods/Procedures used are period OR give period effect.
• Style, pattern, design and finished product are consistent with one another and give period effect.

• Scope of endeavor (e.g. number of pieces, amount of detail, special construction for theme)
• Complexity of the medium(s) being worked in (difficulties of materials used).
• Overall composition and layout.
• Intricacy of creating an object in the size/scale utilized in the entry. (Remember that all sizes are difficult because in small scale it is difficult to get details and in large scale, any minor flaw shows noticeably.)
• Number and variety of design elements.
• Difficulty and variety of techniques attempted.
• Amount of time involved including research and material preparation.

• Ability of entry to serve intended function.
• Attention to details, neatness and finishing touches.
• Appropriate application of design(s).
• Effective use of materials and designs.
• Mastery of period style and technique.
• Techniques (e.g. lead work, soldering, edges)
• Form and finish (Does it hang or stand straight? Does it have gaps?, etc.)

• 1:Project is NOT logical to context of period.
• 2:Project fits the context of periodness, but an adequate understanding of the item being created is missing OR was created from a kit with no changes.
• 3:Project fits period, was created from a kit, but has personal variations to ornamentation.
• 4:Project fits period, its origin was a kit, but has been greatly altered both in pattern and in ornamentation.
• 5:Project is mostly original application of period or SCA Known World designs OR is an exact reproduction of a period item.
• 6:Project is an original application of period or SCA Known World designs.

QUALITY (1-6 points) 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 score based on the following:

• 0:No documentation or very inaccurate documentation.
• 1:Minimum information (time, place, style) with visual references.
• 2:Discussion of period styles and techniques as they relate to the entry. One source (secondary or tertiary).
• 3:Same as #2 plus rational for design elements, techniques, materials, tools, etc., plus complete examples. Explains any deviation from period norms.
• 4:Explains original research or experiment. Reasons for variations from period practice.

• 0:Blatantly modern design (Drop suncatchers)
• 1:Generally period, with some obviously modern elements present (e.g. copper foil, dichroic glass) OR obvious mixture of elements from different cultures or periods (e.g. Byzantine elements on a Romanesque panel).
• 2:"Using dichroic (chemically treated opalescent glass) glass". Using appropriate glass but using glass foil.
• 3:Using cathedral/antique glass with channel lead only. Period design with period materials or reasonable equivalents with no inconsistencies.
• 4:#3 plus hand-painting and channel lead only. Special effort to achieve a completely period product (e.g. did not use bandsaws and belt sanders for cutting and smoothing)

• Scope of endeavor (e.g. number of pieces, amount of detail, special construction for theme)
• Complexity of the medium(s) being worked in (difficulties of materials used).
• Overall composition and layout.
• Intricacy of creating an object in the size/scale utilized in the entry. (Remember that all sizes are difficult because in small scale it is difficult to get details and in large scale, any minor flaw shows noticeably.)
• Number and variety of design elements.
• Difficulty and variety of techniques attempted.
• Amount of time involved including research and material preparation.

• Ability of entry to serve intended function.
• Attention to details, neatness and finishing touches.
• Appropriate application of design(s).
• Effective use of materials and designs.
• Mastery of period style and technique.
• Techniques (e.g. lead work, soldering, edges)
• Form and finish (Does it hang or stand straight? Does it have gaps?, etc.)

• 1:Logical combination of a few copied elements.
• 2:Evidence of original work appropriate to period in design.
• 3:Creative interpolation in combination of elements; much innovation appropriate to period.
• 4:Original, innovative combination of designs, materials and techniques. Special consideration to an event, individual or idea.
