Because Every Contest Must Have Rules...

You knew there had to be rules. No contest is complete without them, so please read them carefully. To be fair, we'll be strictly enforcing them so please contact us if anything is unclear to you.

  • Contest registration is a first-come, first-served basis. After 64 people have signed up, registration will be closed.
  • Contestants will be randomly paired with another contestant in each round. After the seeding is determined, a "Theme Item" and instructions specifying the date entries must be submitted will be shipped to each contestant.
  • The Theme Item for the round must be used in the project for that round. Any other supplies may be used as well, as long as the Theme Item is there. Failure to use the Theme Item will result in disqualification.
  • You will be sent the Theme Item for each project from Warner-Crivellaro Stained Glass, so please be sure to keep us up-to-date on any address changes. We will not be responsible for any delays in completing your project caused by wrong addresses. You will have approximately three weeks to complete your project per round.
  • Judges will submit a review and vote on each group. The fifth judge will consist of the Internet audience vote (except for the final round where the vote will be taken from those attending Glass Visions 2001). The Internet audience will vote for their favorite, the contestant who receives the majority vote will receive the fifth judge's vote. For Internet voting, a cookie will be written to assure only one vote per person.
  • A $20 entrance fee is required to compete.
  • The contest is open to all artists residing in the United States, its territories, or Canada.
  • Prior to the contest commencing, we'll need a photograph of you e-mailed to us in either a .jpg or .gif format and a brief bio to introduce you.
  • The Final Judgement and Announcement of the Winner will take place at Glass Visions 2001. The two finalists must make all (from each round) of their projects available at all days of Glass Visions 2001. All projects completed by the finalists must be present, judgement will be on the entire group of projects. It is your responsibility to get your projects from all rounds here for the final judgement. Failure to do so will result in disqualification. If you plan to attend the trade show (if you don't know what Glass Visions is, click here) any admission fees to GV2001 will be waived.
  • When you receive your Theme Item package in the mail, you will receive instructions on the date all entries for that round must be in. Failure to provide pictures and descriptions in electronic form by that date will result in disqualification.
  • All images must be e-mailed to info@battlefieldglass.com in .jpg or .gif format. No other type of pictures (i.e. snail-mailing us prints) will be accepted. In order to be fair, we will not do any photo editing, so it is your responsibility to provide us with the best possible pictures you can. Take as many pictures as you want, we do reserve the right to choose which pictures will be displayed. Images submitted become property of Warner-Crivellaro.
  • All round entries must have a description about the project. Things to include would be any glass selection, difficulties you faced (and how you overcame them) during the project, time it took to complete, etc. Please be clear in your writing, it may help you in the voting.
