All rules and regulation that apply to the regular competition will also
apply to these entries concerning the judging scores. These dolls may

consideration given to the type of doll. all dolls entered into the

a child or adult. The pieces may include such mediums as raised paste,
metallic paints, and the use of applied mediums or any other specialty
paints. All dolls entered into this category are encouraged to use
their imagination to create not only a circus clown but dolls that may
