Hi everyone, I think me and my braces have become good friends, I'm now so comfortable with them on I don't even feel them to be honest, it is great They're on a week tomorrow and that week just flew

Patrick, I'm glad to see you entering a competition, even from a distance.

Here is Calontir's Kingdom Criteria for Glasswork:

Now, it may be different from what your judges will be looking for, but it should be similar, anyway.

Here are the rest of the categories:

Whether you are entering as novice, intermediate or advanced, you can look at the questions asked for each, and use them to drive your documentation. They do not fit perfectly, in all cases, but they are a good start. It may help to have zerox copies of particular pictures in the documentation. I'd make two or three sets of the documentation, just for the convenience of the judges or the curious.

I would be sure to request a written judging form, since you won't be talking to them in person. I'd provide contact info in it, perhaps separately on a couple 3x5 cards. Someone might be interested in contacting you later to help you, or ask you questions.

Good luck!

It seems like your project isn't as much about the finished item as it is about the procedure -- is that what you're trying to get at? (If it is, then I have some additional suggestions, but it depends on how much time you have between now and when you plan to present the project.)

In general, for help with documentation-writing, check out Documentation Is Not a Dirty Word (though I have to add two bits to that article: the use of a consistent citation/bibliographical system, and the use of the third person instead of the first person), and these links on Research & Documentation Writing and Entering Competitions & Displays.

If you'd like me to look over your documentation and give you some feedback via email, I'd be happy to do that. (I have a reasonably good track record in terms of folks I've assisted as a "documentation coach" winning A&S competitions, or at least, getting really good documentation scores.)

But in any case -- before I go flooding you with advice, it'd be good to know whether the focus of your documentation and your project is on the finished item, or on the procedure by which the item was made -- if that distinction makes any sense.
