Enchanted Doll Artists Conference

Challenge Dolls 2008


 

The theme for this year is "The Other Side of the Mirror"

There will be a charge of $5.00 for each entry in the Challenge

You may do no more than 2 dolls, due to space restrictions
You may do an Original and a Pattern for the Challenge
You may do a Challenge and a Show and Tell (the Show and Tell is free and you will not receive a critique)
You may bring several Show and Tell (again, the Show and Tell is free and not critiqued)

Each entry may be no larger than 12" X 18" at the base (even if it is more than one doll)

Each Challenge Doll must be accompanied by a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card, printed or typed, with the name of the doll and the story or artist statement.

Please write on only one side of the card for the convenience of the judges.  The word "Original" or "Pattern" must be clearly printed at the top Right corner of the card.

If it is a pattern, the name of the original artist must also be printed clearly.
If you are using a mold, the mold maker's name must be seen and the doll cannot be entered in the Original category unless you, the maker, made the mold.

The name of the maker must not be seen.  Please secure the maker's name to the underside of the base or beneath the clothing and fold this paper for security.

 

You may bring your dolls to EDAC or you may mail them to me. You do not have to attend EDAC to enter a doll.

Please e-mail me at:pamquay@comcast.net ahead of time so that I will be watching for your doll.

If you SHIP your entry, Please include a pre-addressed Mailing Label, a check or money order to Enchanted Doll Artists Conference in the amount of $5.00 entry fee plus return postage and insurance (insurance is optional).  I will take good care of your dolls and return them to you as soon as possible.  I must receive your doll(s) by July 1, 2008.   I would suggest you send by Priority mail. 

Please note:  If you do not include return postage for your doll, we cannot return your doll to you.

If you are bringing your doll(s), I need to have a count of dolls so I may purchase the number of ribbons needed.  Please e-mail me as to the number and type (Challenge or Show and Tell) of dolls to be expected.

If you wish, you may donate your doll(s) for the Opportunity Item/Silent Auction.  You will need to advise us of this by July 10, 2008.

 

Ribbons!!!  The critiquing will be done by Point Count, with Blues and Reds awarded, and 6 Special Ribbons

1 People's Choice, 3 Judge's Choice, 1 Attendee's Choice for Professor's Row and 1 Best of Show. 

There will also be a very special award to the Best Beginner Doll Artist.

There will be smaller ribbons for every entry in the Challenge!

For the Instructors, there will be a special category called "Professor's Row" for their Challenge Dolls.  The ribbon for that category will be "Attendee's Choice" and will be voted on by the attendees only.
