We did a lot of chatting on this yesterday. What, if anything, do people think we learned? Here's my take:
(1) I'm not the only one who thinks we need to adjust how we do things when it comes to assessing, judging and talking about the arts, crafts and sciences we are doing.
(2) Other Kingdoms seem to do a better job of openly discussing and setting standards for documentation, competition and judging. We should try to learn from what they are doing.
(3) Documentation remains a huge stumbling block for a lot of people. There's no reason for this except lack of information and assistance. So I'm offering up my services as ghost-writer, editor, organizer, etc. for people who want to try their hand at documenting their work.
Today's related topic: If you were to find yourself as King/Queen/A&S Champion, etc. and be asked to run a "competition," how would you do it? How would you select judges? What would you tell them to look for? This is not an answer that requires any particular experience or status. It's brainstorming for ideas that we can later turn into something more concrete.
Ancillary topic: What are you looking for when you enter an A&S competition or put your work out for display?
