SPECIAL RULES AND JUDGING STANDARDS
Entries should be executed in techniques and/or with stylistic characteristics common to Norwegian folk art. Items submitted for judging must be large enough to reveal the technical and aesthetic ability of the artist and not done under supervision. Entries in Division I and II may feature carving/decoration by the artist on a wooden form by another source. Entries in Division III and IV must be made and decorated solely by the artist entering. The source of the design must be stated on the registration form. Judges will rate entries on technique, design, and overall impact.
