Perfect</span> - An Arts and Sciences Competition." Interested artisans will bring to Fall RUM 2010 an object or set of objects based on a period artwork. That artwork may be a painting, illumination, engraving, woodcut, sculpture, or other piece of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1283202412_2">visual art</span> of the entrant's choice. The object of the competition is to recreate elements from that artwork that resemble the reference image as closely as possible. This could include a costume, foods from a still life, heraldic banners from an illuminated battle scene, or anything that can be found in a period artwork.<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none;"><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none;">For your entry you will need to bring a copy of your reference image - as large and as high quality an image as you can manage. Please mount it in a frame or on a small piece of foam board with a stand so that it may be
displayed with your entry. The entry may consist of one or more objects that are related to the image. Minimum documentation will be the reference image, but more points will be awarded for more documentation. It would also be helpful to include what objects you have made, the methods that were used, material choices, any substitutions you made from period practice and why, and what you might do differently if you were to do it again.<br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none;"><br style="line-height: 1.2em; outline-style: none;">Come help create a "living gallery" at RUM 2010!
