Winners on display Friday and Saturday

This contest will honor the best of the best in customizing - re-making and re-sculpting Breyer models, awesome finishwork, and even possibly mohair and superb tack (not required).
Entries for this year's contest have closed, but visit the Artisan's Gallery to view the finalists and winners!
Contest Divisions:
- Excellence in Finish Work:
- Excellence in final paint decoration, including a high level of detail work, smoothness of paint, and a glowing, flawless finish.
- Most Creative:
- Evaluated on both customizing and finish work and uniqueness of entry. Does not need to be extreme, but should carry that "wow" factor. Could be an unexpected successful enhancement of a Breyer model such as Khemosabi, for example. Judged 60% on creative concept and 40% on execution. Perfect for the artist with great ideas who is still honing their detail work.
- Most Extreme Custom:
- Extensive custom with little evidence of original model or models used underneath. To be judged on the quality of the extensive re-working, conformation and finishwork.
- Best Custom for Performance Excellence (shown with Tack and Rider):
- Judged on creating that winning performance entry. Judged 80% on the customization of the horse, and 20% on the tack and rider presentation. Include a small card detailing the discipline and class being performed.
