I believe that this would be a spectacular idea: a contest where flint knappers can come and show off their work. It would be structured about the same as Find of the Month, using user votes and entering your subject the following month you knapped it. It would be a great idea for Arrowheads.com contribution, inspire creativity in the flint knapping field, and promote friendly competition. Here are two ideas, on how it would work:
1. Give the knappers a subject. For instance, next July's KOTM contest subject is a desert side notch. Judging would be focused on flaking, design, notching, thinness and color of material used. At the end of the year, the twelve top knappers who won the previous contests will be put into a "knapper of the year contest" to win a new set of pressure flakers, billets etc.
2. Idea two, will be a random entry style contest. You can enter anything you want, as long as you made it for the month selected. Voting will be done by the people, preferably by using the same guidelines as above. The same knapper of the year contest will happen as I mentioned above.
All of this is just a suggestion, and we could talk it over if you reply to this topic.
Thank you.
