This document outlines the requirements for a student project to create an original award or trophy for an alien race's national pastime. It provides statistics on project submission rates for two classes as of two dates. It also lists the key criteria for evaluation: an action plan and concept, proper construction and finishing, and impressing guest judges. Requirements include developing a clear concept, ensuring the piece is fired and free of imperfections, applying an appropriate finish, and submitting an artist statement explaining the concept.
