• Choose subjects and styles from the SCA period.
• At least one print must have been pulled from the block, and a print should be entered along with the block.
• Document the paper used to pull the print.
• It can be a plus to see the tools used to carve the block.
• No kit projects in papermaking.
• Printing on fabric is included in this category and enough fabric should be done to establish the repeat.
