Contest #5

Decorated Egg Contest!
5th Annual 2014 Easter Hatch-a-long!

​

Now's your chance to show off your ​

eggs-traordinary egg dying and artistic ability!​

A panel of judges will determine the winner!
All eggs will be judged based on the following factors:
The Design
(theme, uniqueness, and overall appeal)
Artistic & Technical Merit
(quality of work with media, clean edges, glue hidden, attractive finishing, etc.))
Creativity
(use of unique ideas/materials)

PLEASE NOTE UPDATE:
We were thinking of this as a Creative Egg Dying Contest (and gave suggestions as such, see link below to ideas!), but don't want to exclude folks with a desire to do artistic egg drawings/carvings. While the egg drawings/carvings are AMAZING - most people do not have that ability and we would like this to be fun and see it filled with entrants! After all it is EASTER!

Therefore we will open another prize for Artistic Egg Decorations.
So we will have a AN ARTISTIC EGG PRIZE & DYED EGG PRIZE! ​

ARTISTIC EGG Prize:
12+ White Faced Black Spanish
Large Fowl Hatching EGGS NPIP
