Single Pattern Contest
Have you always wanted to enter the single pattern contest, but hated the idea of giving up your fabulous creation for the entire weekend?
Well, you don’t have to. Continuing what was started last year, participants will model their creations in a private judging & then show them off for the audience in a fashion show. This year we are also getting some space to display the contest entries. This space is limited and will only be available for one day. Displaying your entry is optional. Register today by contacting Terri “Sprite” Specht at tlspecht@hotmail.com.
This year’s pattern is a Kimono Jacket in two lengths (Simplicity #4134 – jacket only).
Norwescon 32 Single Pattern Contest Rules
- One entry per person.
- You must have a Norwescon 32 badge number to enter the competition. Anyone who is a member of the convention, including concom members, (with the exception of the Single Pattern Contest organizer and judges) may enter.
- This year’s pattern is Simplicity’s 4134 Everybody Kimono in two lengths. At the Simplicity website, http://www.simplicity.com/ you can do a search and see the pattern. Although this pattern also includes a tote, for the contest you’ll be doing only the jacket.
- Entries may be made in any size as long as they fit a human being.
- Minor creative design changes are permitted. This could involve such things as eliminating, changing, or adding minor pieces, as long as the overall silhouette is recognizable as being derived from the pattern.
- Materials and techniques are entirely up to you. All types of embellishments from historical to fantasy are encouraged. However, no messy or perishable substances allowed (Example: peanut butter).
- Entries may be submitted for the Beginner/Intermediate or Advanced/Expert level. Please mark which level you would like to compete under on your entry form. Do note that at the judge’s discretion, entries may be moved to a higher competitive level as the work merits.
- There will also be a “non-compete” that anyone may enter.
- Please pre-register by contacting Terri Specht at tlspecht@hotmail.com. Entries that have not pre-registered may or may not be accepted depending on available space.
- You or someone you designate will show your entry in a private judging. You will be able to tell the Judges about your creation & any special materials, techniques, provide documentation for recreations, etc.
- You or someone you designate may then participate in a Fashion Show (after the judging). In addition to the Judges Awards, there will be a Fan Favorite Award given based off the audience votes from the Fashion Show.
- Awards will be announced during the Masquerade Half-time on Saturday night.
- If you must cancel, please notify the SPC organizer immediately so your spot can be freed up for another entrant.
