First Annual OHA cutting contest!!?
Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2015 4:40 am
Hello!
OK, so IOJDAA came and went without any of us posting results but that can only mean one thing...
The field was too saturated!
SO... We need to come up with details for the OpalHolicsAnonymous (OHA) Winter Cutting contest!
WINTER!?
Well, I initially asked TPTB about for a 1 year anniversary contest and that a) seems WAY to far away and b) might conflict with the 2016 IOJDAA!
SO... Here's something that we'll have to hash out.
1) Entries
a) Who is eligable?
b) entrie fees if any to cover postage ?
c) opal provided or BYOO ? (Bring your own opal)
2) Judging
a) how many?
b) odd number to break ties?
c) in person via postal service?
d) Online via votes in a locked thread with pictures?
e) both?
f) clearing house person to coordinate all the logistics of mailing entries to judges
3) ???
Ok I fell asleep and my computer didn't like it, apparently I deleted the rest of my (Brilliant!) plan. I think I was up to section 8 or so...
But The point is in the past we've used the contest and raised some funds with entries auctioned off etc In the end we supported some Big Cat care and we could do that again or keep the contest as an honorary thing only and keep the entries after the judging to go back to their prospective creators, or ???
This is where it starts to get fuzzy and now I've got keyboard dents in my head! So I'll let everyone else join in and we can figure this out and maybe by the time winter rolls around we'll have it ready to go.
I guess I'll go back to sleep now...
