CWA STATE SCRAPBOOKING COMPETITION

Regarding the matter of guidelines for judging, we do already know that the Scrapbook topic is, ‘My family history', there are to be 10 leaves/20 pages (meaning ten leaves with front and back used), and that the page size is 30x30cms.

There will be 2 sections this year, one for individual entrants and one for an entry from a branch. As the topic is ‘My Family History', branches may like to show the history of their branch, this will be perfectly acceptable. Groups will be allowed an individual entry and a branch entry at State level.

Judges will have to take the following into account when they make their choices.

  • Photography is the all important element in scrapbooking, so photographic quality is essential.
  • Scrapbooking is also about creativity, so the creative interpretation of the subject matter is another consideration.
  • Likewise creative use of decorative elements and layout is most important.
  • The use of journaling should show elements of both function and decoration - in other words we should be able to follow the story as well as having a beautiful book to view.
  • Mostly double pages should compliment each other so that the book is easy to view.

 
To conclude, we are looking for a book that gives people something interesting to look at that informs them of what the photos are all about and that is so beautiful that they will wish to rush out and start their own scrapbook .

Hope this helps everyone feel more confident about what is happening, and should you have any further queries just phone or email Denise Turnbull on 68747330 or will10@bigpond.com.

The Cultural Committee is varied in a sense that it covers a range of cultural events, competitions, tours and adds some drama for CWA members.

It continues to be a popular committee and events are coordinated for members to participate in, from drama to art, to touring a city and learning more about its cultural mix and make up.

Competitions are run during the course of each year and these CWA activities are sponsored by our partner Scott and Broad who have been loyal supporters of the Association for many years.

Any overlap with International work should involve the Culture only of the Country of Study. Recommended Book is the GNS201 Project Book, comprising of 24 pages (12 leaves).

The Contents (numeric order) should be in the front cover, or the Index (in alphabetical order) inside the back cover, either is permissible. Photographs should be limited and Books must include the name of the Branch and Group. The Committee is only too willing to send the Correct Book to you should you have any difficulty in obtaining one in your area. Write to the Secretary, Mrs F. Czwalinna, 5 Lipsia Place, Carlingford 2118 to request a book.

The Books shall be judged on the following: 

  1. Presentation and Content = 30 points 
  2. Member Participation = 30 points 
  3. Spelling = 20 points
  4. Neatness =15 points 
  5. Contents or Index = 5 points

"Member Participation" will be judged on the Members who contribute to the content and who participate in Cultural activities at Branch level and Group level; keeping in mind it is permissible for one Member to compile the Book. Computer work or hand written work will be judged equally. The closing date for Cultural Book entries is 3 November 2007.
