Juror Instructions
STEP 1. Review all the entries online. Notes:Scoring
The jurors should take into consideration that enamel is very difficult to photograph and we urge you to give a weak image the benefit of the doubt. In addition, because of the proliferation in recent years of the use of enamel as a colorant or design element for metal, we ask you to consider in such pieces where enamel is not the main focus of the piece whether the integration of color and form is seamless, and to judge the quality of the enameling and the metalworking with the same high standards.Exhibition Selection
All the juror scores will be combined for the final score of each entry. The highest score any one piece can receive is 14. The cut off score for accepted entries will be determined by the over all scoring and space allocation in the gallery.Awards
There will be two jurors awards based on top scores. There are two awards available but if there is a tie the awards will be split.Entry1 |
