Event Information
The event is run in two parts:
- The first year people are encouraged to submit their attempts at a craft they are just starting, asking for feedback.
- Those who participate in that stage of the challenge will be eligible to participate in round 2 the next year, where they will be judged on their improvement of the same craft.
The Challenge is judged by people's choice.
