Every entry must be accompanied by documentation.

It is highly recommended that entries be submitted via email or mail in
advance. Include in entry: legal name, S.C.A. name, and description of

Judging Criteria

*Workmanship: *Entry should be well put-together with attention to detail.

*Creativity:* High marks for creativity should be given if the item
meets any of the following criteria:

A: The item is original in design but is made using period techniques
and based on period design.

B: The entry is a re-creation but it was necessary for the entrant to
speculate and draw their own conclusions on some of the details based on
their research of historical sources.

C: Creative problem solving was used in determining how to get around
problems that came up during construction of an exact replica.

*Authenticity:* The period-relevance of the entry. Higher points will be
awarded for the use of period materials and techniques. Documentation
should explain any deviation from period techniques and materials.

*Documentation:* Written documentation should identify what the entry
is, a description of the item in period, its function/uses, information
about the re-construction techniques used, divergences from period
materials/techniques. Site sources should be included in the documentation.

*Overall:* Entrants will be judged on their overall understanding and
skill with the entry. Attention to detail in the display/presentation of
the entry will be a factor in scoring.

Each criterion will have a possible score of 10 points, for a total of
50 points. The highest single score will become the Queens Champion. The
King will select his own champion from among all the entries.
