Judging and Overall Guidelines
• Things to focus on...
Judges – Will judge the entire sculpture 360 degrees, so build your sculptures on all sides.
Clarity of Design – Your creation can be simple or complex. A good design is one that people can understand. Try to tell a story or make them think.
Degree of Difficulty – Height is hard to do. Cut throughs, bridges and anything without support underneath, show difficulty.
Please keep your theme within the guidelines of this being a family friendly event, and have fun!
