2008 The Competition's objective is to inspire the creation of outstanding, artistic, concert-quality instruments and bows. Workmanship and tone judges are instructed to identify those instruments and bows having the greatest artistic merit, technical execution, and in the case of instruments, tone quality. Rules and judging procedures for the International Competition have been designed to insure fairness to all competitors. Instruments and bows submitted for Competition must have been completed after November 2006. Instruments and bows may not be entered if they have already received awards in other recognized international competitions. The decision of the judges is final. Hors Concours status is granted to a maker who has been awarded Gold Medals in three different VSA Competitions. Hors Concours status will not be granted for three Gold Medals awarded in one or two Competitions. Makers designated Hors Concours status are not allowed to enter further VSA Competitions. A maker who has been awarded Hors Concours status in the category of instrument making may still compete in the bow making competition, however. Likewise, a person holding Hors Concours status as a bowmaker may enter the instrument competition. Eligibility All contestants must be members of the VSA with an expiration date of 12/1/08 or later. Membership information may be obtained by contacting:
