  Eligibilty
  Any custom piece completed during the respective time frame is eligible for that class. However, if the year of a piece’s creation is unknown, a “best guess” will suffice.
  
  The piece may be in any condition, whether mint or damaged, and should be as close to the original state/intent as possible.
  
  Proxy showing for these vintage classes is at the discretion of the host.
  
  The 10-year measure will creep up with each passing year.
   
  Basics
  The classes can be combined as needed, due to lack of entries.
  
  The classes are to be judged by People's Choice, with voting to occur during a time period at the host's discretion during the show.
  
  The show host is asked to designate a vote tallier/comment reader to place and present the awards.
  
  It’s encouraged that a description of the piece’s history be provided alongside the entry. Please keep this summation concise, as to fit on one side of a sheet of paper (maximum) and preferably on one side of a 3x5 card.
  
  Note: It's suggested that the classes take place at a time and location that's conducive for maximum voter turnout and participation.
  
  Voting
  People shall use their own criteria for voting, keeping in mind the context and goal of the vintage classes. For example, such criteria can be "coolness", inspiration, nostalgia, rarity, innovation, historic value, etc.
  
  Provided for each class are special slips of paper, with room to write a few comments. Each slip of paper is a "vote" and each voter is given five slips of paper per class. In each class, the voter can allot his/her slips at discretion, i.e. use all slips on one piece or one-four slips per piece (in essence giving all votes to one piece or doling them out as desired). The voter is asked to write some quick comments about the piece he/she is voting for and pop the slip(s) of paper into the respective cup.
  Provided for each class are paper cups, to be placed beside each piece in the class. Into each cup, the voter will place his/her voting slip for that piece.
  
  At the end of voting, the tallier shall count the votes per piece and place the awards. The tallier shall choose selected commentary from the slips about each piece and read them aloud as the awards are presented.
  
  In the case of a tie, the show host’s choice shall be the tiebreaker.
   
  Awards
  * Provided to the show host, each class shall have a set of exclusive blank resin medallions createdspecifically for this purpose. Placings 1st-2nd receive the large Sunmedallion and placings 3rd-5th receive the smaller Flower medallion.
  Note: It's asked that if the classes are too small to use up all the medallions that the extras are returned for use in other vintage classes. Return postage shall be provided. Or, the host could have informal pre-registration to get an idea of class size so the proper number of medallions can be provided. Such details can be worked out on an individual basis with each host.
