History
In our recent history, SAW could only offer a Scrollsaw Contest when one
or more of our Board of Director members were present to organize and
run the contest. For some time now, we have been working on a way of
offering a SAW sponsored contest at more venues. The situation existed
though, that it would not be possible for one or more Board of Director
members to attend each event. Therefore, we have developed a procedure by
which any SAW member can run a contest for a particular event. With this
package, a member should be able to organize and run a Scrollsaw Contest
under the SAW Guidelines. While this does not mean SAW will not attend
your event. SAW will continue to provide the Guidelines. A Scrollsaw
Contest has proven to be a very successful addition to a Scrollsaw
Picnic or other Scrollsaw event.
The contest at each picnic is separate from all other contests.
Individuals sponsor the picnics and these are the people to contact for
information on a specific picnic. If you send the form at the bottom of
this page, SAW will assist you in advertising your contest/event through
the web site and SAW Dust. SAW cannot be held responsible if these
Guidelines are not followed. If any questions should arise, they should
be addressed to the Contest Chairman or Picnic Sponsor.
All entry fees will now be collected and used by the group running the
contest and can be used for the purchase of additional awards for the
winners in each of the contest categories. Any donations collected from
vendors are welcome additions to this resource of additional awards.
Scrollsaw Contest Guidelines
The SAW Contest program is designed to allow any hosting group to have a
Scrollsaw Contest under SAW Guidelines at their event. SAW has developed
guidelines and procedures to provide for consistency in the way a
Scrollsaw contest is run. If you use the SAW Contest Guidelines, we
would like to have you display and hand out SAW literature. With the
addition of the Literature Display Stand, this can be accomplished with
very little manpower or space. Someone must keep the display filled with
the appropriate paperwork.
If you have any
questions, the main contact would be the
. Any of the
members may also be contacted with questions.
Written Guidelines on how the Contest should be run.
If you are entering a contest, the Contest Manual
below is the complete version of the guidelines from SAW. You will find
details on how the contest is run under the SAW Guidelines. Not all
scrollsaw contests will be run under the SAW Guidelines.
