power outage and closed April 24, 2024. Sean & Lauch met on April 26, 2024 to discuss and judge 13 entries
submitted by Three General Members, and One Fellow. Lauch did not judge his entries.
The judges were prepared to give Annual and Biennial Awards. To that end ten Craft Ribbons, one
Salon Ribbon and 5 monetary prizes were given.
The high quality of the entries allowed the Judges to give out Best in Show - $50, Muma Award for
Tooling and Colouring - $50, and Best General Member - $50 and a Salon Ribbon to Greg Belenky for his Lady
Godiva. Greg also was awarded 2 Craft Ribbons for Lady Godiva and Art Nouveau Wallet

As the fifth iteration of the Virtual Annual not all the photos are showing the aspects, quality and telling a story.
The images were smaller with less detail and it is hard to Judge. We were happy to give monetary awards to well
deserved pieces and their makers.
Thanks
