Actual work on the exhibit must be done by the entrant, including marketing, cutting, painting and application of decorations etc. Objects used in or on the egg may be purchased. Exhibits must be of an original design - no seminar eggs, class eggs, kits or exact copies from books will be accepted. Workmanship is very important, and if an egg is considered to be an exact copy to the Judge's knowledge, it will be downgraded. Originality of design will receive upgrading accordingly. Only the entrant can decide in which category the exhibit should be entered. No names or means of identification must appear on the entry. A double yolk goose egg may be entered as a goose egg. A novice is an entrant who has had less than one year's egging experience and has never won a prize in any class. The judge will have the right to refrain from awarding any placing should the exhibit, in the judge's opinion, not be considered worthy of placing. The judges decision is final.
