Manipulated Gourd Art Contest
Spring 2021 Entries
Judges, Please rank all of the entries for the CRAFTED use of a manipulated gourd. It should (of course) fit the Theme, which for the Spring Contest is "Wall Hanging" (which can be any arrangement of 1 or more manipulated gourds, abstract, fantasy or realistic).
All entries should be scored. After all judges scores have been submitted, I will add them and the gourd with the lowest total will be first place. Do the best you can to judge the art and not the photography.
Please send your scoring ASAP - I always have to have the article written and into the editor in just a few days after judging ends. Thank you again for your help with this!
